The roads we have now aren't maintained by the city except to do the bare minimum. The cheap seal coat doesn't last and now they want to waste money on building this to which it too will fall into disrepair! The roundabouts not unless they can handle the Semi Trucks without going across center!

I was a five year old and I will always remember this day. My parents came into my bedroom and told me not to worry about anything I might hear at school the next day about a war as they would always take good care of me. I always felt very secure... Also, our youngest son was born on this day.

Of course. If you or I created a freaking mess, dumped garbage, etc. on public property we would be fined and/or jailed and be responsible for the cleanup. Too bad nobody in govt has the will or the b___s to do anything about it so it will only become a larger festering cancer on our society.

Because living this why and allowing this kind of behavior is unacceptable in our community and anywhere there needs to be stricter laws and rules and regulations to get either these people out of here or get them help one or the other I've lived here my whole life and I've never seen anything like

We work hard to live here . We should be able to use our forest lands and feel safe doing so , Have our families safe , our animals safe . They must be held accountable for wrong actions . We would be

We were cited for the 14 day rule because we stayed from 1st elk season thru 2nd elk season. Our camp was clean and we didn't leave any garbage or damage. All we were doing was hunting. Guess we should have said we were homeless.

"No Camping" means no camping. Period. China Hat is not a campground. Period. So remove these transients. Holly Jewkes of the Forest Service has blood on her hands for the death of Courtney Carrol due to fire. Holly Jewkes did not enforce the no camping law. Now we have lost a life.

Public lands are just that, public. There's no right to buy them and the people living there aren't even buying them. They're squatting. And squatting is theft

We need to do much more to protect the innocent people being threatened by dangerous homeless people who have no respect for land owners and visitors to central oregon.

People will push the limits cause they know they can. Homeless can get away with ALOT more than people who try. Just one example is litter! I throw litter out the truck window I will get fined. Go figure!!!!

I pay taxes to live here. Can I go out into the national forrest and build a 3600sqf foot house anywhere I choose and live for free? The USFS would kick me out immediately without any of the excuses they use for the homeless issue.

This is the most silly question ever! If they are breaking the rule they should be fined like everyone else! To have the local residents that pay taxes and have their residence set up there put up with this is off the chart! Is so wrong! Something needs to be done! Very sad, very wrong!!! Wake UP!

Absolutely yes. No real punishment is the same as encouragement. These folks need to have a reason to change their situation.

35 years? He says he moved here in 2009. I guess 14 years doesn't make it as easy to sensationalize a non-story.

Yes!...and don't make the same mistake Bend made with the parkway... should be as far east as possible
ReplyThis is a minimum of 10 years overdue. They widened and made 6th St. and 5th St. one-way in 2007, and they should have been considering a bypass at that time. This is definitely overdue. A bypass around Bend is mandatory and definitely overdue as well.
ReplyHWY 97 from the California border to the Columbia River should be minimum 2 lanes in each direction with median barrier.
ReplyJust don't screw it up like last time! A bypass should bypass not bottle neck. Also Don't do like bend did and make it a dangerous bicycle lane and 45 mph, it should be a freeway bypass with easy access if Redmond is the goal for your trip.
ReplyMost Critical.
ReplyYes definitely we need it badly, we sometimes have to wait through several lights in Redmond!
Replytraffic sucks!!
ReplyIt is needed but not on the back of Redmond citizens. This is a federal highway, I will vote no if they try to raise my taxes,
ReplyIt will help the traffic that goes through there all the time and the semi trucks if they can have another way to go, because ones you get into Redmond long wait of Back up Traffic , So I hope this will help Thank you
