A tax to support the homeless is essential to helping fix or alleviate the problem where I live. These people need support.

Every working class citizen is 1 paycheck away from homelessness. Without funding any resources, we are tacitly encouraging the problem.

Sam Ackerman

No they are not, if you are then that is YOUR problem. Spend less and save more.

No, that's unfair.

There's no reason to tax certain households based on income to re-distribute wealth. These people need a different kind of help, and can make their own money eventually.

Sam Ackerman

Hello not, they are lazy, or people that chose to use drugs. Let them fix their own problems that they created for them self's. If do feel bad for the people with true mental issues,

OH please. Liberals want more and more handouts.

Only in the form of a sales tax, so that EVERYONE can share in the pain. I am sick & tired of taxes on no one but homeowners. It is unending!! I I wish OR would implement a sales tax.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

I'm all for helping homeless people; I buy them food. But the help should be voluntary, not forced; their problems are their problems and different people have different values.

Brad Livsey

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I canvased 30 indigents recently to come rake needles for an afternoon, a nice meal with fair money paid.... NOT ONE took me up on my offer citing one failed excuse after another.

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

Delaney Gates

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

SunnySunshinestein

Get it done, it's way past time.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Alma and Bruce Miller

I agree with commissioner Patti Adair - there are other alternatives.

Robert 'Lew' Lewandowski

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
