Doesn't matter where the money's going, our state simply can't afford this proposed budget! Where's it all going to come from?

2 BILLION in new taxes from the idiot Governor. Pathetic.

Rashid Kashik

Hey come on, those illegal aliens are expensive!!!

Robert 'Lew' Lewandowski

Tax the citizens to pay lawyers for illegals, and then throw money at "education" which actually just pays for previous PERS retirement packages.

Chris Hunt

School's great ,but why should we pay for legal fees for imagrants they take enough away from us

Rashid Kashik

Don’t be fooled, Chris. We are not talking about immigrants. We are talking about illegal aliens... people who have no business even being here. Now we pay their legal defense??? RUFKM???

cristianne herbst

She's a nut job to say it nicely and is trying to turn this state into her lovely brother's state! I can't believe she was reelected.

Heidi Owen

she is the biggest problem in our state!!!

Brandy Barr

SHE NEEDS TO BE FIRED, SHE IS STEALING OREGON TAXPAYER MONEY FOR HER OWN AGENDA!!!

John Driscoll

Waste and increased waste.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

Not a dime for CPS until it is reformed and no money for abortion providers.

Richard Moore

It is hard to believe any state governor would make a priority of around 2 million to take care of illegal immigrants instead of using the money of legal citizens for a process that actually help us.

Douglas E. Wilson

This is absolute craziness!

Ben Wiborg

She’s concerned about other agendas other than the state.

Richard Dillard

83 BILLION dollars, are you kidding. This is Oregon not California. I would like to see how much it would benefit the citizens of this great state. And not a penny should go to the undocumented.

Ka San

Not if it involves me paying even more property taxes. Which it probably would.

Len Parsons

We keep throwing money at the problem but fail to fix the real problem.

Wanda Hancock

Governor Brown is spending way too much money and trying to make up for the statements made against her during election. We can't afford to become another California.

Rashid Kashik

Really? I am working every day to pay taxes to provide legal defense for illegal aliens? Might be time for me to take my many tax dollars to another state.

CraigMary Johnson

Our Governor is not acting in a fiscally responsible manner. She needs to tighten the strings of the purse rather than flippantly spending money we do not have.

Dave Voiles

Typical progressive. Let's take our hard earned taxes and spend them on people not from this country while neglecting our own, and of course, they'll want more taxes next.

Gramma Jean

I have not been impressed with anything Brown has done so far.

Of course not, trump will make America great again!

I am glad that we were Blue over all on the West coast. Those flyover states have too much say.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

You're literally bumper to bumper from the Bill Healy bridge. The people from the Old Mill Never Cease coming.

If it weren’t so maddening, our City counselors would make for a cast in a Monty Python show. They befuddle themselves with ludicrous ideas and foist them onto the taxpayers. Bend is becoming a laughing stock to outsiders and a source of continual angst for the residents.

SUE ABERNATHY

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

sara kreps

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

Dave Krajczynski

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

Jeff Sanders

The people coming from the Old Mill Never Cease coming. Traffic is backed up to Bill Healy bridge everyday. At least in the winter.

Kathy Brown

Make a LARGER round-about!! A stop light will only make it worse!!

Chris Gonzales

A roundabout's primary purpose in traffic management is to improve safety and traffic flow, resulting in less congestion and fewer accidents compared to traditional stoplight intersections. Key words: Flow, less congestion and Stoplights. Now they want to add Stoplights!!! City waste at its Best!

Latterdaysaint

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

Fletcher Jackson

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

Tim Walker

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs

Jeff Sanders

It's bumper to bumper from the Bill Healy bridge.
