Right now everyone is struggling and they make atleast 2x as much a year than I do. And many other residents of deschutes Co Maybe if they struggle some they might fight for what the people need.

If they are having trouble living on $111,442 per year then maybe they should lower their expenses. I would support an 8% pay cut though.

There was 1 that said no, 1 that stated that she does not need PERS. the last stated that he did not get one a few years ago. Yet he should should realize that a few years ago were we all were in a pandemic and told to stay home.

Tax and Spend Republicans here in Central Oregon just keep wanting more and giving less of a crap for working people.

Absoutely not ! They have harmed more than helped the county and residents and now they want to be paid more. People, watch who you vote for.

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

I agree with commissioner Patti Adair - there are other alternatives.

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
