It would just create another bureaucratic requirement for residents at the expense of homeowners and would not accomplish anything. Prospective buyers can already higher a home inspector to evaluate a home before they purchase. the City Council should BUTT OUT!

That should be up to the buyer to do that NOT the seller.

Another perfect example of the hypocrisy of the current city council, who seems determined to ruin Bend. They whine and cry about affordable housing, then add more red tape to make houses more expensive. It's up to a buyer to understand the home they're buying, not the government!!

It only adds to the cost of buying an already over priced home. If buyers want to know what an energy score is, they can pay for an energy survey on their own when buying the house, at their own expense. This council needs to start listening to what their constituents want, and stop wasting time.

Just another example of government sticking their nose into private citizens' personal affairs! If a potential buyer and seller want to work that issue out as part of a (potential) sale, that should be THEIR choice, not a mandate by the City of Bend....

Trump is a clear danger to Democracy. I don't think MAGA people actually listen to his "speeches"/rambling offensive tirades of many half-truths.. but also easily disproven outright lies. How anyone can support him at this point, is bizarre.

I voted for Trump because of his policies. Harris has none, just the same terrible Biden policies.

A vote for the Democratic Party is a vote for one party rule. I never felt that way until the Biden administration took over and opened the border to allow so many to come across unvetted. I have never understood why it takes 3 to 5 years to get a green card. Makes no sense.

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.
