Opening statements:
- @senbetsyjohnson won't sign bills that aren't bipartisan
- @TinaKotek says she's a leader who can solve problems, shouts out housing projects #inBend
- @ChristineDrazan asks whether anyone is better off now than four or eight years ago
Q1: Do you support Measure 114, the gun measure?

Kotek: Yes
Drazan: No. Bend Safeway shooting was caused by mental health challenges.
Johnson: No. It places a burden on small police departments.
Q2: How will you deal with homeless populations who illegally use public lands?

Drazan: will declare state of emergency on her first day. You have to hold people who choose homelessness to account. Homelessness should be rare and temporary.

An important lesson emerged in last night’s @CityofBend City Council transportation discussion: Wider intersections and extra lanes won’t work in the long-run to “solve” congestion #inBend #BendCC (Thread!)
A consultant presented this volume to capacity (V/C) map to show the modeled effects of several potential May 2020 transportation bond widening projects. Red dots mean lots of car traffic. @SallyForBend asked, Why can't the red dots on Greenwood be addressed?
It’s a good question b/c streets like Greenwood or 3rd are already some of the biggest in Bend. If any streets in Bend have enough capacity to handle a higher volume of cars, surely these are them.
