We travel to Arizona several times a year and it's RIDICULOUS it wasn't offered the last year or 2!! Portland just finished the new terminal when all of a sudden Redmond -- Alaska stopped going to Portland. WE HAD TO GO TO SEATTLE TO GO SOUTH --IT WILL be wonderful to have
& KEEP IT YEAR ROUND!!
Many people need to access OHSU for advanced medical treatments not available in Bend. Driving to Portland is not always an option especially in the winter months. Being able to fly into PDX is safer and far less stressful for those needing care at OHSU.
If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.

ReplyI'd rather change planes (and even airlines) in Portland, than most of the standard layover points and arrival times.

ReplyWork requires me to be there but for only a day at a time, on and off during the winter. It's an easy choice when I can simply expense it.
