Every community experiences a homelessness problem, but often to very unique extents. That's why local councils or government should be responsible for creating the game plan to combat homelessness, versus a state government that's unfamiliar with a city's needs. People can also step up to help ease these problems by their own motivation. Show Less

I really think that both local and state should work together to solve the problem

Tim Griggs

Why dont we leave it up to the lazy people that want to live off the state. Get a damn job. McDonald's is hiring.

Ka San

the "lazy people" - "mcdonalds is hiring comment" - completely ignorant.

sociologists are probably the only people who understand that trying to group them all together is asking for trouble. divide them into small groups and spread them out.

Kevin Crabtree

how can anyone be unemployed in this economy unless you are mentally challenged or Just Plain Lazy and only one of those deserves help

Sam Ackerman

Oftentimes, state lawmakers have the most sweeping control over institutional changes that would help homelessness in several cities. That's the best and fastest way to make a change, in my opinion! Show Less

With these federal funding cuts are you worried about the effects to our national parks?

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?
