We elected them to do their jobs. If they are not doing their jobs, why should they be allowed to run for future office?? Who would want someone in office who doesn't work for the people who elected them??

It's their job. If you don't show up to your job do you still have a job? I can almost guarantee you won't unless you're a politician.

It's called accountability and responsibility. They are PAID to do a job, and though most SUCK at their job, the least they can do is show up!

If they are elected by the people that is our fault if we vote for them again maybe there needs to be easier access to what they actually do when they work ad what they have done.

It goes against our 2nd amendment rights. And it is a very small portion of legal gun owners use it on others. Most or all that use it on others are because of mental illness, which is where more help is needed rather than taking away people's rights.

I say no to this because the gun are not the issue. It's the folks that are able to get them. There's gotta be another way to get control something like stronger fredral background checks if we let the federal government get full control of us having guns we won't have guns at all. So let's vote

The crazy left do-gooders have no more common sense than the snowflakes running our country. Guns are not the problem. The far left is.

Right now everyone is struggling and they make atleast 2x as much a year than I do. And many other residents of deschutes Co Maybe if they struggle some they might fight for what the people need.

I guess the money they got from Thornburgh wasn't enough. Or maybe they think they deserve a reward for the fine job they think they did in selecting Cheyenne Purrington.

Old witch Adair and her CHRO were more responsible than anyone for Cheyenne's appointment. Phil Chang brought Cheyenne's inadequacies to our attention, then declined the pay increase for himself.

If they are having trouble living on $111,442 per year then maybe they should lower their expenses. I would support an 8% pay cut though.
