Prices were up 5% in May compared to last year as the cost of many goods keeps rising. The rise in gas prices is one of the most noticeable signs of inflation.

Why would we expect anything less from this administration?

RBOB Gas (wholesale gasoline cost) has increased from $1.03 per gallon to $2,18 per gallon, since election day. That strongly influences all other prices. Biden is a disaster.

Caused by inflation, remember when we produced more energy than we used? Yes, that was six months ago.

Adam Schrader

Stupid question. Of course higher prices on everything effects one's finances

Michele Scarlet Ridenour

4 boards to replace on our deck was almost 5xs what it was last year. Fuel has doubled since Biden took office and groceries have doubled some have tripled

The price rise in building materials has caused me to put off building a new house. When your on a fixed income higher prices effects your purchasing ability.

The price increases are not across the board, so their impact is felt differently depending on what consumers purchase.

The items that have gone up the most have not been things I needed yet, but I feel for my friends and neighbors who are being affected.

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?
