Becoming a union member saved my life and changed the direction of my life, being a single mom of two with no child support. I vigorously approve of unions.

Kevin Crabtree

I was a member and a Steward that is why I am on my own now Unions are not what everyone thinks they are they make for lazy people and substandard Products that is my experience great for benefits though

John Hargrove

My brief stint as a first line manager convinced me that workers need unions. I saw how upper management, in that setting, really wanted to treat workers.

Sunny Sunshinestein

I worked for a union and later belonged to a union. The downfall of America's middle class correlates directly with the downfall of unions, beginning at least 30 years ago.

But I wholeheartedly believe in them!

I almost did one time though for cashiers at Fred Meyer in the 90s. My department voted it down thank God because no one could afford the union dues. They were crazy expensive.

SO Many streets in Bend have become permanent parking places for homeless people! Check over be COSTCO....horrible, messy, unsightly!!!! Not to mention a driving hazard!!!! Linda Thornton Desalibo@aol.com

Dave Leverick

I shouldn't be surprised it's more of the same government bull How come our Congress person help out

Kathi McDonald

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!

Joe Ottlinger

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

Kathi McDonald

Absolutely right!!!! To put up with years of this is WRONG!!!!!

Brian Carpenter

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.

Brilliant idea going on the local news to announce that you are leaving because of your homeless neighbors. You just knocked a good 30% or more off your property value. So long, you won't be missed.

Guy Brooke

Penalties for the homeless, how does that work ?

Is there nothing that central oregon won't waste tax dollars on? Have we become so dependent on A.I. that we can't even find a parking spot without help? Seriously!

Ben Hargis

How stupid is this? It will only cause an urgency to hurry up and get a spot before someone else..... The signs will be vandalized and spray painted on.

Jordan Rhodes

Sign is so difficult to read. If you are anything but the vehicle in front (wall and greenwood specifically), now vehicles are slowing down IN the intersection to try and read it.

Latterdaysaint

Not a chance!
