Right now everyone is struggling and they make atleast 2x as much a year than I do. And many other residents of deschutes Co Maybe if they struggle some they might fight for what the people need.

Jim Hipp

Patrick Mcgowan

Why , well they are not worth that money ,flat out ridiculous this should be voted on by the people .

Kevin Nik Myles Hayward

If they are having trouble living on $111,442 per year then maybe they should lower their expenses. I would support an 8% pay cut though.

Dianne Price

They get enough now!!

RL Nellis

First support your staff before making yourself more comfortable.

There was 1 that said no, 1 that stated that she does not need PERS. the last stated that he did not get one a few years ago. Yet he should should realize that a few years ago were we all were in a pandemic and told to stay home.

Tax and Spend Republicans here in Central Oregon just keep wanting more and giving less of a crap for working people.

Kimmy Wasatch

Absoutely not ! They have harmed more than helped the county and residents and now they want to be paid more. People, watch who you vote for.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
