Of course, this doesn't solve everything, but it's a good step. It is not going to cause an influx of homeless from CA. They are getting services in CA. No one wants to come to Bend and freeze in the winter with the hope of a shelter.

You can't keep giving to people without making them responsible. Everyone should have drug tests. Everyone should have to "give back" in some way. Either by getting a job, or volunteering to the community.

I pay enough in taxes, most of the homeless want to be homeless, they get paid for doing nothing.

Only solves a portion of the real issue of mental health and alcohol and drug issues. Plus there is the concern that an influx of more homeless flooding up from the California, to get free services they are not getting there.

you must fix policy, not throw money at it. When you decriminalize hard drugs and sleeping on streets and let hard criminals out of jail it all adds up.

Oregon keeps throwing good money after bad, will not help. Recriminalize drugs , fund and respect police and how about having the homeless work..keep their camps clean, parks, other civic projects, require recurring drug tests.

Throwing good money after bad. Bring back crimalization of drugs, fund and respect for police, have the homeless work even if just cleaning their own camps, parks, etc, drug tests on a regular basis.

Medicare Advantage is not Medicare. They are private plans run by corporations for the purpose of extracting as much money out of Medicar beneficiaries and the government as possible. It is private insurance and a Republican plan to destroy actual Medicare. It costs taxpayers a lot more than actual

No. St. CHARLES is problematic to seniors' health.

THATS for sure! I was told years ago that a monopoly is illegal in the USA but apparently St Charles found its way around that. They own every single hospital and most of the clinics here.

Not yet but everything we do today contributes to the issue nonetheless... Always better to be ahead of the game and do what's best no matter what.
