We need to stay informed about the local news that impacts our lives inBend and CO. Need to stay up to date on sheriff and police issues, parking, housing and what the city councils and county commissions are doing

Oakley Taylor

We need all the help to fight fires in our precious state since the feds have cut our funding. This is not a “liberal” or “conservative “ issue. It’s a quality of life issue and the preservation of our communities and the forest that we treasure.

David Komar

but it doesn't need to be a print version. online is just as good.

Latterdaysaint

Yes we need to stay informed but not by a liberal newspaper

Douglas Kaufman

I imagine your idea of a “great” newspaper, would be Pravda or some MAGA run rag, right? (All the Conservative obfuscation, all of the time!) Why you think the Bulletin is a “Liberal” publication, I just don’t get. Now, “The Source”, THAT’S definitely a Liberal rag. (And they’re very good at it!)

Oakley Taylor

Please don’t make this a political division. Let’s be civil and acknowledge all that we have in common; the quality of life in our community.

I have always loved JUST getting the Sunday paper with the Parade magazine and the extras; however, I cancelled my subscription a couple of years ago. I have NEVER had a need or a desire for a DAILY paper.

At the cost to whom?

This is the actual correct answer.

Steve Baumann

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Steve Baumann

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

Max

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Max

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

Max

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Max

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

Wendy glassburn

The democrats want to add to the budget. It’s a CR, you don’t add to it. You open the government and then negotiate the budget.

Toasty

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

Steve Baumann

Hand up not hand out.

Scott Kramer

I don't believe that the ACA causes a significant amount of money to go to healthcare for illegal immigrants

Saying inflation is getting lower is like saying that government is getting less corrupt. LOL

Max DeYoung

No matter what MSM says, I will use my open eyes, and common sense to determine items of this nature. Inflation will not get better until we have a different leader for our country. The last four years have been horrible for America, and our allies.

Fat Guy Outdoors

My bills have done nothing but increase and nest eggs have decreased.

Max DeYoung

Fat Guy! Kamala says that's not inflation, It's Bidenomics. Now, do you feel the Joy? I haven't felt their Joy for the last four years, Pain, I have felt their Pain!

Steven Head

The damage is done. Even if it went to zero, prices are still 20-30% higher since 2021.

Zaos Gonzolez

Its getting worse.

Belinda Kitchen

Just look at the prices at the store. That should be enough to tell you that nothing has changed and won't till Harris and Biden gets out of there . Trump will lower everything. Trump has done more for the Hurricane victims then Biden and Harris has.

Renee

What has he done? I haven't seen him do anything, but spread lies and run his mouth.

Latterdaysaint

It’s getting higher, but under trump it will go away
