The Sheriff is an elected official. Elected officials give their opinions all the time and quite often not very nicely. KESQ'S reporting appeared biased against the Sheriff, is that ethical?

3017 votes. 17 Liberal smack talkers. 18% of the vote. Go put your head back in the sand and leave the thinking to the other 82% of us with a freaking brain.

Any person should be able to voice thier endorsement in uniform. Plenty of government officials endorse publicly and are not put under the microscope because they aren't wearing a uniform? They are still a public official period. Let's not forget freedom of speech people.

Of course its OK, but a proven Felon, along with other crimes, bankruptcies (countless). If he can't run his own house, how the hell can he run the country!!!! Jusf poor judgement on Bianco. If Bianco is tired.....just QUIT!!!!

Especially if candidate is a convicted Felon, 34 times,regardless of who he is.

Patricia S

Especially one who has been convicted of 34 felonies!!!!

Ed Drahos

There's a reason why this is not done in any of our armed forces! There simply no difference.

David Lambert

I penned letters of recommendation and laundered drug money for PSPD. They can't be trusted.

Military service members are prohibited from endorsing a candidate or position while on active duty; why should it be different for law enforcement?

Erica Greathouse

Bianco gave the appearance (as was likely the intent) that this is somehow official. This act warrants a recall. How can ANY law enforcement officer, let alone the TOP law officer, countenance electing a FELON?? Saying the felon's the only one who can get a handle on crime is LUDICROUS.

Patricia S

Exactly, if Bianco is "tired" ( his word).....then QUIT!!!!

Jeremy Brown

A lawman celebrating lawlessness is surreal. He's also forgetting that Trump committed real crimes that are not as make-believe as his unhinged rant with very flawed logic. That this is even a news story, this man should NOT have ANY authority over ANYONE.

MaryRose Wallace

He has his right to his opinion however he should not use his position to influence others.

Mark Cosenza

Chad seems to be on a power trip,instead of protecting and serving the people who elected him. His endorsement is a slap in the face to his fellow men in blue who were at the capital on J6 putting their lives at risk because of the man he is endorsing.

Michael

Supporting Trump after two impeachments, his involvement with keeping top secret documents, his three trials in which three separate Jurors found Trump guilty: 1) Guilty of Sexual Abuse 2) Guilty of harassing his victim3) 34 counts in NYC. Sheriff Bianco has lost respect by many citizens. So Sad.

Michael

Sherriff Bianco, a MAGA Reich member? I didn't see that coming, did anyone?

robert rawley

Bianco endorses a man found guilty by 12 jurors of 34 felony counts in NY after seeing all the evidence. He refused to enforce mask orders of the governor during COVID. Rather than enforcing & allowing courts to decide, he endangered deputies, staff & the public. He appears a tyrant not a servant.

Bill Cranham

Our chief law enforcement officer for the County of Riverside, (selective enforcement at best). has endorsed a convicted felon for POTUS not only while in uniform, but using a taxpayer provided vehicle as a backdrop. CHAD BIANCO is a sick joke! Our military are not allowed to campaign in uniform!

Alan Dusty Bowley

The uniform is to protect and serve, NOT try to use it To influence people

Ron Dorsheimer

Makes you wonder if he'll serve and protect people with other political views.

Patricia S

Actually, he did not, during Covid!!!!!

All they have to do is start the first 30 to 40 minutes of the movie in the full classic costume with mask on. After that no one will care who is under the mask.

I suck at fan casting but a rebooted franchise calls for a new Wolverine, and it's an opportunity to bring in someone smaller and scrappier.

They're going to need to do a very different take on the character if they don't use Hugh Jackman if they want it to work.

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?
