I don't think the tax should increase to fund addiction programs. We can't afford to have taxes go higher.

I'm tired of the so called leaders of our state thinking they can increase taxes at their discretion. The revenue never goes where they say it going to.

Marcia Y

No more taxes

k san

I would vote for this as opposed to raising property taxes. At least everyone who makes these purchases will share the burden. No more property taxes!!!

Rick Allen

This is totally absurd, taxes are already way to high and what a horrible time to even try to do this to so many businesses and people hurting from the even more horrible shutdown!

Robert Northrup

I see a headline today, 70% increase in opioid deaths. Gee who would have guessed lowering penalties on drugs would cause this?

Donna Reed

I don't think those programs work or I would say yes.

Yes, the tax should increase.

I think it's a good idea because it will fund programs in which addicts can get the help they need.

Because everyone wants to tax Cigarettes why not booze as well. maybe we can save a few deaths and make money. Lets have a clean air tax too maybe a fat tax!

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
