I believe we need better representation from a broader board. Phil Chang is doing a great job and being in the minority is unfair and unbalanced.

The county is growing in population, and as the population grows the problems grow. We had our first mass shooting 2022, a new city of mountain view maybe coming our way, and countless natural disasters, covid-19 and many more! It's time to grow.

Absolutely! The Commission is invisible to most county residents but plays an important role for 200k residents.

The only reason Chang wants it is to get more liberals on the board and change the majority!! We have a 100 % LIBERAL ACTIVIST city council we don't need a liberal majority board of commissioners or we'll be DOOMED!! The ONLY thing that saves us from madness in this county is a conservative board!!

3 is enough any more is a waist of money, if i think about it it probably should only be ONE, less government is better for the people. Chang wants more so he can have more socialist liberals on the board. He also wants nonpartisan elections so they can lie about who they are to be elected.

Anyone who believes that bigger government is the answer probably came from California or ran away from the Peoples Socialist Republic of Portland. The transplants from west of the cascades and California are destroying Central Oregon.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
