The City needs to take care of their own garbage.

Ka San

There is plenty of space here in CO to create a new site. Makes no sense to truck it far away.

Ben Wiborg

We need this in Redmond https://idahonews.com/news/local/boise-on-the-cutting-edge-of-a-recycling-revolution

Sam Ackerman

You and I created the trash we should deal with it with in 10 miles of Bend. OR perhaps between Bend and Redmond so both towns could use it.

Carolyn Harrison Testerman

Avoid transportation costs increasing the carbon footprint of our local trash even more.

Wanda Hancock

Just keep urging more and more people to move to Bend.You are really going to have a problem!

Gramma Jean

Cover the landfill. /Find a new site, in the county. Build apartments on the old one.

We're running out of space to create another dump site in Central Oregon. If another county has the space, it makes sense to find a cost-effective way to take trash to an existing landfill rather than adding another one to the landscape. Show Less

It should go to mar a Lago or the white house where the biggest pieces of garbage are

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Yes, and do some more logging and cleaning the forest

Oakley Taylor

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Oakley Taylor

Bravo!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Oakley Taylor

True dat.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

Yay to you!

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

Oakley Taylor

So true.
