Government SquareOffs

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.

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.

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

Pay increase for what? They all should be fired

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

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

City Council and Mayor should not be careers.

Not for doing a lousy job

Government is what is making housing expensive. Want less expensive housing? Get Government out of the way.

The property owners, are being inundated with tax increases, and higher costs, to maintain the properties, too. The government, is doing nothing to help them.

If you want to see what happens when government decides to help the homeless with your tax money, take a look at California. Disguise it with 'affordable housing', and steal billions of tax dollars. Then keep raising taxes to 'help' those who have no desire to help themselves.

If you want houses to be cheaper, build more houses (make it easier for developers to build houses).
