If we don't manage our water, we will not have the Central Oregon we all have enjoyed. I am more concerned about our diminishing aquifer.

Piping and stop giving the farm water to golf courses.

The long term benefits far outweigh the short term costs. This is a no-brainer.

Taking care of our ecosystems is always the right decision.

The water we will save will pay for the cost in the future.

We have higher priorities for public money than replacing our historic canals and losing neighborhood character.

It's disrespectful to the locals who live in that neighborhood when the businesses don't have enough off street parking. Allowing buildings to go up without enough parking is ridiculous!
