We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

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.

Most of our taxes are going to Schools that are no longer required to make sure students are proficient in math, reading, writing and comprehension. Why are we paying so much and getting nothing in return.
ReplyMore and more levies and bonds. Stop voting for all these additional taxes and the tax bills won't raise by so much.
ReplyYes and it is outrages! It went up $664. 60 over last year, for a total of $8089.85 That is $664.00 per month, just for property tax. I think Police and fire dept. need more money, but it should come out of this outrages amount not more taxes. I vote no on any increase.
ReplyYes, almost a 10% increase. Education and education bonds comprise 50%! I hope the public thinks it's worth it.
ReplyWth? You have to ask this with a mandatory 3% per year largely going to parks and recs! What a joke. Where have you been, under a rock?
ReplyThanks Biden and Tina Kotak
ReplyThey've gone up for the past 15 years like clock work,
ReplyCity can't stop spending and taxing. It's out of hand.
