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.

Lisa York

As far as I can see they have not done anything to deserve it 🤬

Jim Hipp

Are you freaking kidding me! I bust my ads every day as a sales rep for half that salary! Kiss my .....

Patrick Mcgowan

Why , well they are not worth that money ,flat out ridiculous this should be voted on by the people .

Kevin Nik Myles Hayward

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.

Dianne Price

They get enough now!!

RL Nellis

First support your staff before making yourself more comfortable.

daniel tovar

There was 1 that said no, 1 that stated that she does not need PERS. the last stated that he did not get one a few years ago. Yet he should should realize that a few years ago were we all were in a pandemic and told to stay home.

Tax and Spend Republicans here in Central Oregon just keep wanting more and giving less of a crap for working people.

Kimmy Wasatch

Absoutely not ! They have harmed more than helped the county and residents and now they want to be paid more. People, watch who you vote for.

YES Pleeze! My daughter has one in her office building in downtown Denver in a sketchy area and it's been like an invaluable watchdog. If you've lived downtown, you'd know that robberies and vandalism happen around 3 a.m. We HAD a security company but we NEED 'round the clock presence.

I don't think a robot will help because it might take police sometime to get there

Waste of money! Hire a security company! By the time the robot notifies the police on the other side of town, the bad guys will out of time!

Tailor Glad

Why have boring old security cameras, when you can pay way more for 1 security camera that goes vroom vroom?

John Davis

Waste of money.

Waste of money - if this is approved the inmates have definitely taken over the asylum.

Patrick Mcgowan

You really think 3 mph robot will deter any vandalism, sounds more like a toy to me bring out the big guns then lets talk !Stop right now or ,,,ill yell stop again. hahahahah

whats next?

Shocking that Toby has yet to be fired. The walk up kiosks that are now disabled-how much $ was wasted on this short-lived idea? The signage is still no where near succinct. Every misstep of the way, it has been overly complicated, poorly executed, & expensive. The robot is another example.

Kevin Nik Myles Hayward

It's a waste of taxpayer money

Kenny Judkins

Why not video cameras and Human Beings. Sounds like a huge waste of money. The robot is nothing more than high tech virtue signaling that will accomplish nothing.
