The following is a list of all the private nonprofits that are allocated by the city of Bandon to receive public money from the State Revenue Sharing fund. Charity is a good thing, but it starts in the heart and at home, not in the chambers of City Hall. Some of these organizations have some questionable practices and the money could have gone into the General Fund to benefit everyone, including the tax payers.
"The Go Native" program promotes the idea of wetland restoration over agriculture and the group supported the Bandon Marsh expansion. The Washed Ashore "project" also promotes extreme environmentalism. If you do not want this money to go to these groups then you need to contact the Bandon City Councilors.......Rob T.
Below is the list of State Revenue Sharing allocations approved by the Budget Committee. The City Council will have a final hearing on the State Revenue Sharing budget at their regular meeting on June 2, 2014.
Have a great day!
