Only professionals with experience should get paid. All on the current council are basically activists with their own personal agenda, none of them has experience and it shows at what they're spending our tax $$ on! If it's to much work they volunteered for then get more council members to join

No. They make decisions based on their personal agendas without a vote of the people. There's to much spending and property tax increases already without boosting their salaries. They passed an unnecessary environmental impact home inspection without the vote of citizens.

It would appear that CB is actually a city councilor.

Three garbage price increases in under two years, want a 10-15.00 water/sewer increase and a raise for themselves. Absolutely not.

Wrong, they vote for what the majority of Bend citizens want. You just aren't the majority.

No. I don't want my taxes going up anymore to pay for it and they make decisions based on their personal agendas without a vote of the people. The ridiculous environmental impact home inspection is a prime example. They are supposed to serve not reign. Totalitarian attitude.

Isn't it pretty part-time work? I think they only have a few meetings per month.

They work a lot outside of those two meetings.

Why don't you run, Gabe? If Oregon is too liberal for you, I'm sure Arkansas or some other red state would welcome you with open arms.

ODOT, and other state agencies need to live within a reasonable budget and the state needs to stop raising taxes!

ODOT Leadership is totally incompetent! They spend a billion dollars they don’t have and come to the taxpayers to bail them out. As far as increasing gas tax and registration fees we already pay.40 cents per gallon and our gas prices are $2 per gallon more than the rest of the country. No more mone!

We need a 'No Camp Zone ' radius around urban and sub urban areas and then have a few managed campsites within the new limit. Only 2 options. The risk to property owners and the option to live on the fringe is not right. Not a problem before 2020 and it's over time to get back to before.
