Coming up: Bend gas tax would affect non-city residents
Thousands of people who live outside Bend’s city limits get their mail with a “Bend” address on it, including places like Deschutes River Woods – but they don’t get to vote on the current 5-cent gas tax proposal before city voters.
Some residents on Bend’s outskirts have expressed frustration, even anger in comments to NewsChannel 21 about what they consider an unfair situation, because they don’t have a say.
NewsChannel 21’s Kandra Kent is talking with some of those residents for a story airing tonight at 4, 5 and 6. We’ve also started a discussion on our Facebook page – feel free to also weigh in here with your comments.
And please join us tonight for her report.
