To all Bend City Council Members,

As a homeowner in the city of Bend I am very thankful that the [Land Conservation Development Commission] was watching out for our best interest with respect to this ridiculous UGB plan.
Maybe you folks on the City Council will put aside your egos long enough to finally do what both the state and the residents of this city have asked you to do all along. We need an UGB proposal that is based on current economic and population data that truly reflects the crisis we now find ourselves in.

Let go of this ridiculous plan so we can move this city forward in a direction that makes sense for our future. Haven't you punished all of us enough by wasting over $4 million of our hard-earned money?
