I’d pay just to have our street passable period, when the snow and ice melts get out there and plow it off instead of letting it freeze at night where you can’t even drive or keep your car in the trac

I have a business and the berms block the walkway and driveway to that business. The berm is mainly ice and dirt which is hard to remove by hand.

I end up paying someone to take out the berm--it would be more convenient if they would just do it as part of the plowing.

Icity staff & contractors are well paid to do the job which should not include blocking drive ways; the drive way access snow should be dumped between drives.The roundabouts reflect poor work.

If a person can't shovel the berm, ask your neighbor, to do to it for a couple bucks.

Clean up the corruption in this town first and there would be plenty of money for many other improvements also like road repair.

We choose to live in a place where it SNOWS! Shoveling a berm may be a pain, but it's part of the wonder of being able to living here!

Because taxes in Bend are astronomical, as it is. I vote NO for anything to do with raising taxes!

Bend gets millions in tax money from the MJ rec and medical sales. They can afford to pay for it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
