More efficient, because of staffing issues.

GT Thomas

Stations cannot get help and I prefer to pump my owm. I am tired of liberals telling everyone how to live.

Kevin Nik Myles Hayward

I already do. Self serve is legal in rural areas. Madras has self serve. Most gas stations along I84 east of The Dalles has self serve. Apparently it's the city folk that aren't trusted to pump their own gas because folks who live in rural areas have been permitted to pump their own gas for years.

Steven Huillet

It's about time Oregon joined the rest of the US allowing people to pump their own gas and diesel!

Why would you want to pump your own gas plus it provides jobs

Jane CommunityMember

Diesel has always been legal. Gasoline users have been discriminated against.

Marcus Ainsworth

why would you not? oh you live in that one state

Kenneth Suel

I'm from the rest of the country. I cannot always contain my annoyance. I never asked, wanted or needed a pit crew. I'm from. Alaska. I got it covered.

Lee Edlund

Good compromise. Pump your own or have an attendant

Jane CommunityMember

Absolutely. I already do in Jefferson and Crook Counties. Time is money and the quicker I can get back on the road, the better.

I appreciate the service, especially not having to stand outside in the cold.

Michael

Where do I wash the gas off my hands? Oregon has always voted this down. 61% of Oregonians do not support this. Gas stations will make more money with one employee . Gas in Washington is a lot higher than ours and you pump your own. Why are the legislators deciding for us?

Kim Marie

Why take away more jobs? If you don't have a few minutes to spare waiting for an attendant, maybe you should organize your time better.

Wow, you should change your name to Karen. Not everyone wants to waste their time waiting for attendants. Some of us have better things to do with our time.

GT Thomas

They have repeatedly said they cannot get help. And if you want to stay in your car you can but quit imposing your beliefs on everyone.

Bob Majka

Why would I get out to pump my own gas when the full service will be the same price? this is asinine, in all other states self-service is cheaper.

Kat Johnson

I really enjoy the ease of not having to pump the gas myself. Also I think it's good to provide jobs for people who can work at the gas stations.

Deb Kizer Dyck

I pumped my own gas for years, so I really appreciate being able to stay in my car especially during winter months. It provides jobs for those who might not otherwise get one. I don't mind having options, but don't think it's necessary for the decision to be made for me.

Off the path

I have and I can but with a bunch of kids it's nice to be served. I appreciate my gas attendant.

Jay Ball

Not having to pump your own has is one of the last good things oregon has goin for itself any more☝️

SunnySunshinestein

I'm perfectly capable of pumping my own gas but the bottom line, no excuses, is I just don't want to.

Latterdaysaint

No, if it's bad weather why would you want to plus it provides jobs

This is absolutely ridiculous. For travellers from Bend, it's too difficult to find transportation options, especially for the 5am flights to Seattle since you can berely get anywhere direct. This is nothing more than an unrealistic money grab.

Raymond Headley

PDX has covered parking for $24 a day

Terri

You can't compare RDM airport to other airports that have larger aircraft in and out. 24.00 is ridiculous. It's smarter to charge less & have more parkers than higher fees and fewer cars parking there.

Bob Majka

Hell no, PDX is $12.00 a day.

Bruce Wade

It was stated that Eugene charges $27. But they have 3 different parking options. Short term at $27, Long term at $16, and Economy at $10. We don't have those options in RDM. PDX has the same 3 options. Short term $30, Long term $24, Economy $15. The airport rep is skewing the facts!

Steven Huillet

Way too much!

Mary Opperman

My trip to go see my 99 year old mom in Wisconsin is already outrageously expensive. I don't care if the Redmond Airport expands or not, it works just fine right now, in my opinion. This is a 62% increase in the cost and that's absurd! This is another money suck from the consumer. I vote no!

Suzie Cox

$24 a day is ridiculous. There is NO reason why it needs to be that high.

We are being nickle and dime to the brink. I'm going to take this opportunity to say to all Redmond residents. Stop voting in things that increases our property tax.

I'm also tired of hearing airliners fly over my house and vibrating things on my walls.

Kimmy Wasatch

Larger airports have better facilities for less. Much better to just get a ride to the airport.

Larry Merrill

Parking shouldn't be funding the airport, just upkeep and expansion of parking services.

Carol Seymour

For how long 2weeks?

Deb Kizer Dyck

That's a ridiculous amount of money to add on top of an already expensive way to travel.

GT Thomas

Redmonds becoming bg government tax tax tax.

Corie Pelcher

Why don’t they put a higher price tag on the closer lots and offer offsite cheaper parking. This would offer everyone a good option not just people who have more money.

Latterdaysaint

The airline ticket is already expensive

Latterdaysaint

No I didnt

Bend has a major focus on recreation. We need greater focus on keeping a focus on literature and education, especially considering our failures education of our youth. It seems like we need to improve our balance

Janice Meredith

Definitely need the library open on the east side. East side should be recognized as a viable part of of the community, not a "step child", who loses important items.

Latterdaysaint

Bend doesn't need a new central library

Latterdaysaint

I wasn't homeschooled

Perhaps if you read something other than Fox News, you would appreciate what the library provides.

Jane CommunityMember

Says you. But the voters want it.

Lynn Huntley

More, not less, libraries.

Once the new central one goes in down the road, what's the reason for continuing to rent this space in the strip mall?
