I know the feeling of one check away from trouble, & I know how $1, 5, can help. It's not for me to judge, so I don't care what they use the money for. I also sometimes take hot food back to them.

many cannot manage their money. I will give them food if they are genuinely hungry.

Most of them are smoking cigarettes, I will not give money to anyone to support their habits.

I have, but not in a while. Eventually I noticed it was a "career choice" by many of these folks. If it feels right I'll still do it, but not as a habit.

Most of people begging drive newer vehicles than I do and have been told make more money than working and don't pay taxes

Oh I could, I just will not. I was homeless at 13yo. Thanks dear old mom. There are lazy people out there, and I'm not going to waste my money on them.

Because I saw many fake homeless people driving nice cars they had hidden behind stores. So much is a scan. There are programs if they want help and are not just panhandling cause they don't want to w

I used to buy food, but they turned up their noses and said they wanted cash. Don't we all.

I can afford it, the problem is I do not know what the money will be used for. I know Christ said not to ask, however, that would not be a good steward. Then too, there are plenty of food banks.

Not enough food banks, with little to no "real" food in them (protein, etc). Canned garbanzo beans. Yay. Often outdated, too. There's a real problem, for sure.

Are you excited for the return of the McDonald's snack wrap?

Do you think the legislature should come up with a new funding package for O-DOT?

As long as there are no new costs to homeowners. Increase other taxes that everyone shares...gas, alcohol, cigarettes, whatever. Just don't even think about trying to bleed more $$ from homeowners!

We live in Sisters. We would not be able to get over the pass to get to Portland in the winter without ODOT. This is irresponsible and dangerous!

Essential employees like that should not be laid off! We need them to keep the people on the highway safe.
