This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

I live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

Just more Liberal attacks on Conservative. This is what they do because they lost the elections. Poor losers!

Had stranger bring me my mail, found left on top of mail boxes. Have had other neighbors bring my mail that was placed in their mailboxes
ReplyIn Aug. I went 7 days without 1 piece of mail, including junk. I have informed delivery so I see what I should get. I have "lost" important mail like car titles or finacial stmts every few months!
ReplyWe're part of a cluster box. We get notifications that our packages have been delivered but they're never there. I've contacted post office many times but nothing is ever done about it.. HELP!!!
ReplyMy bank statement ended up in my neighbors box. He hand delivered to us.
ReplyDon't mail your ballot in put it in the drop box
ReplySome days we don't even get delivery.
ReplyWe live in a NE Bend Apt complex and twice I found whole banks of the boxes left open after the USPS delivery. That was about 10 days ago. Hasn't happened again. Still, not good!
ReplyDRW uses a 2nd party courier. We get packages shoved in our box ruining the contents. Lately, the courier has pried open our box to stuff packages inside to avoid delivering to our house! Awful!
ReplyOur mailboxes were left open yesterday, too! Our mail service is beyond awful. I emailed KTVZ with the story from our neighborhood and the photo of the open mailboxes.
ReplyI have lived in 6 states in the US, and have NEVER seen more abysmal postal service than here in Bend. Mis-deliveries are a regular occurrence. Now mailboxes left open. Postmaster here is incompetent.
ReplySaturday was the last day we received mail until yesterday, Thursday. Carrier said no overtime allowed and too much mail and packages to deliver. Subs refused to get all the mail delivered.
ReplyOur neighborhood has found our mail person leaving all of the mail boxes open and the packages laying in the street while she is in the truck smoking. Many open and empty packages and missing mail.
ReplyWe have had mail come a week than when its supposed to and sometimes we get it at 8pm to 9pm and/or on Sunday or days like Columbus Day.
ReplyMy mail from the Redmond post office has been delivered to other addresses several times over the past year . See cases: 11650041, 13143787, 15459838,. PO says whey will fix, but nothing happens.
