Only professionals with experience should get paid. All on the current council are basically activists with their own personal agenda, none of them has experience and it shows at what they're spending our tax $$ on! If it's to much work they volunteered for then get more council members to join

No. They make decisions based on their personal agendas without a vote of the people. There's to much spending and property tax increases already without boosting their salaries. They passed an unnecessary environmental impact home inspection without the vote of citizens.

Wrong, they vote for what the majority of Bend citizens want. You just aren't the majority.

Three garbage price increases in under two years, want a 10-15.00 water/sewer increase and a raise for themselves. Absolutely not.

It would appear that CB is actually a city councilor.

No. I don't want my taxes going up anymore to pay for it and they make decisions based on their personal agendas without a vote of the people. The ridiculous environmental impact home inspection is a prime example. They are supposed to serve not reign. Totalitarian attitude.

Isn't it pretty part-time work? I think they only have a few meetings per month.

They work a lot outside of those two meetings.

Why don't you run, Gabe? If Oregon is too liberal for you, I'm sure Arkansas or some other red state would welcome you with open arms.

I am an educator at a community college and so I see first had the results of the K-12 system here and is is worse than, not good. Until the Bend-LaPine school district gets back to teaching, failing kids who need to fail in order to succeed, and producing results.

It raises property taxes and the district indoctrinates kids
