I would think the Democrats would want to know exactly where their illegal basis is, so they can move it where it is needed. Republicans want it, so they know how many the tax payers are supporting.

It helps people 70 years from now learn more about their ancestors. It helped me learn about my great grandfather. He immigrated to the US in 1860 and became a citizen in 1880 approximately.

the Congressional districts should be based on number of citizens not population since not all can vote; and the census does not collect info which might affect privacy

Because ONLY American citizens should vote on American issues. No other country would allow a non citizen to vote. Why is this even an issue?

It's not asking if you are here legally -- just if you are a citizen. What's wrong with that?

yes! Illegals won’t fill it out. So their votes shouldn’t count.

The Constitution states that all inhabitants should be counted--not just citizens.

Why should we include illegals when they are incapable of running their own government.

Because Oregon receives federal funding for each resident, whether a citizen or not. Would you rather turn away federal money?

It would be nice to have accurate #s, reflecting everyone; however, folks here legally, but not citizens, like the Dreamers, risk being deported under Trump. Until there are safeguards vs. that, No.

The purpose of a census is to count ALL people present, not just some.

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.

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.

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

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