On the national picture, the big election takes place a year from Tuesday. But locally, two big issues will be decided this coming Tuesday. The one that’s been most talked about is Ballot Measure 24-388, the proposed 0.21 percent business payroll tax to pay for increased local transit service. Officials with the Salem-Keizer Transit District have estimated the new tax, which will be collected starting in 2017, will bring in about $5 million in new revenue a year.
