Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.

ReplyThe Oregon State Government needs to be held accountable.... Well, at least "fiscally"... it's the best we can hope for. Bottom line: stick to your budget and give the people back the amount you over-taxed them!
ReplyBecause it’s their friggin money! An overpayment to government because of government greed so it belongs to the tax payers.
ReplyOf course it should be returned to the people. The legislature made a budget based on expected revenue. They need to live within that budget. Just because taxes came in higher then expected is no justification for the state to party like a drunken sailor with the extra money.
