Reflection/Evaluation
Lots of information regarding what is going on legislatively and where/how any of us can weigh in. One of the biggest issues is the “Repair Bill” – which means that folks can repair or seek help to repair products rather than having to rebuy. Reviewed/discussed what are the priorities locally which is the Energizing of Bend – more electrification. Roundtable conversation was updates with the continuation of a group trying to push for a bridge over the Deschutes River in the Wild and Scenic area which many of us have sent in comments/LTE’s. Also paying attention to fish passage on the dam on the Deschutes in Bend.
