Removing penalties for drug use increased crime and overdose deaths. Democrats have blood on their hands.

YES, it is a BIG problem! Lots of homeless addicts everywhere breaking into cars and homes, shoplifting and trashing the city. About time the Bend city council steps up and has them respect Bend residents and the law.

Too soft on crime and punishment! Drug laws in Oregon are too lenient! Homeless are allowed rights no other Oregonians are allowed. If you don’t believe that last sentence, try camping near Drake Park and see how long that lasts!

Well, I understand it is a much bigger problem on the East side of Bend, but I live in a relatively safe neighborhood, so I am not worried at this point.

Someone has to pay, Companies pass the cost to customers just to stay in business. It affects your insurance rates, food costs and housing. Drugs are the greatest reason for crime. Using drugs may not be a crime but drugs aren't free.

Hummel will be gone in a few months. Then he can move to Portland where he will fit in well with the woke crowd eager to participate in more social experiments.

Crime is on the upswing in Central Oregon. With increase in population with people moving here, you get the good, the bad and the ugly.

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
