Tourists drive our summertime economy - especially in Bend. Even though traffic gets worse and several natural areas get major visitation, the benefits outweigh the costs.

Both answers are correct. It helps the economy while it harms the resources.

Our natural landscape and attractions, like the Deschutes River, Tumalo Falls, and Mt. Bachelor, are all negatively effected over time by an increase in tourism. Plus, more people in town means more waste! Our population's increasing, which means tourists don't carry the weight they used to. Show Less

Tourism has been way over-sold. I hear folks who have lived here a long time say they are leaving due to increased traffic, etc. Coming from a metro area, the traffic is nothing to me, but I get it!

This use to be a nice, comfortable community and now it is full of people that have not respect for other people. They drive like crazy and do not watch out for bicycles or pedestrians.

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
