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

sandra zollman

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.

sandra zollman

It would appear that CB is actually a city councilor.

sandra zollman

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

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

sandra zollman

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.

LESLIE Wayt

I'm not happy with our government and like any other job, you need to EARN pay increases!!

Ben Hargis

Pay increase for what? They all should be fired

daniel tovar

nope, do not pad their pockets, put it towards resolving the houseless issue in Bend.

Amanda

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.

Gerald Smith

City Council and Mayor should not be careers.

Not for doing a lousy job

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.

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

He doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

Janice Adair

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

Lisa Alexander

He was a racist person who spread hate.

Jim Terry

Need I really explain

Jane CommunityMember

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Robert Spaet

Irony: “It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights…” Charlie Kirk 2023

k san

Absolutely NOT!! He was a racist extraordinaire and spread divisive speech and ideas.

Byron Barclay

Because his MO is actually deceptive & decisive!

Martie King

He is not a hero.

Linda Spaet

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

Robert Spaet

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

Alex GERRITY

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

Laurie Maholland

Mr. Kirk was too controversial and not a hero.

celeste carico

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

Gerald Wonnacott

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.

Priscilla Smith

Absolutely not!

Shannon Gamble

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.
