Tourists drive our summertime economy - especially in Bend. Even though traffic gets worse and several natural areas get major visitation, the benefits outweigh the costs.

Our natural landscape and attractions, like the Deschutes River, Tumalo Falls, and Mt. Bachelor, are all negatively effected over time by an increase in tourism. Plus, more people in town means more waste! Our population's increasing, which means tourists don't carry the weight they used to. Show Less

Tourism has been way over-sold. I hear folks who have lived here a long time say they are leaving due to increased traffic, etc. Coming from a metro area, the traffic is nothing to me, but I get it!

This use to be a nice, comfortable community and now it is full of people that have not respect for other people. They drive like crazy and do not watch out for bicycles or pedestrians.

The state refused to keep people and businesses safe. Someone needed to step in.

They have the right to demonstrate but they do not have the right to damage or destroy. Apparently local enforcement couldn't handle it. Stop it asap

Carol Garside

They are domestic terrorists, need to be stopped at any cost

Trump is agitating the situation. If Gov Newsom had thought it necessary he would have called them in. It was not Trump’s decision to make. Trump is merely trying to take over California because it is a mainly democratic state and he considers its citizens enemies

Ron Rommel

President Trump is escalating the issue.

Jeff Sanders

He's mad because California has never voted for him. Dictators do what Dictators do.
