I believe we need better representation from a broader board. Phil Chang is doing a great job and being in the minority is unfair and unbalanced.

The county is growing in population, and as the population grows the problems grow. We had our first mass shooting 2022, a new city of mountain view maybe coming our way, and countless natural disasters, covid-19 and many more! It's time to grow.

Absolutely! The Commission is invisible to most county residents but plays an important role for 200k residents.

The only reason Chang wants it is to get more liberals on the board and change the majority!! We have a 100 % LIBERAL ACTIVIST city council we don't need a liberal majority board of commissioners or we'll be DOOMED!! The ONLY thing that saves us from madness in this county is a conservative board!!

3 is enough any more is a waist of money, if i think about it it probably should only be ONE, less government is better for the people. Chang wants more so he can have more socialist liberals on the board. He also wants nonpartisan elections so they can lie about who they are to be elected.

Anyone who believes that bigger government is the answer probably came from California or ran away from the Peoples Socialist Republic of Portland. The transplants from west of the cascades and California are destroying Central Oregon.

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.
