Portavoz de Redmond<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nEl s\u00e1bado 17 de junio, los residentes del condado de Deschutes se reunieron en el auditorio de la escuela secundaria Ridgeview para el ayuntamiento anual del senador estadounidense Jeff Merkley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Los asistentes tuvieron la oportunidad de expresar sus inquietudes sobre una variedad de temas a trav\u00e9s de un n\u00famero de boleto aleatorio que llam\u00f3 Merkley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El ayuntamiento comenz\u00f3 con una presentaci\u00f3n del alcalde Ed Fitch. Merkley luego destac\u00f3 a NeighborImpact, una organizaci\u00f3n que representa y sirve a los residentes econ\u00f3micamente desfavorecidos en el centro de Oreg\u00f3n. Luego, los asistentes mencionaron sus preocupaciones sobre inmigraci\u00f3n, marihuana y Medicare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Con la temporada de graduaci\u00f3n en sesi\u00f3n, hubo comentarios sobre la deuda estudiantil de un padre preocupado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merkley reconoci\u00f3 la carga que la matr\u00edcula universitaria puede tener sobre los estudiantes y las familias y c\u00f3mo eso puede disuadir a los posibles estudiantes de considerar la universidad como una opci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEstamos presionando por tasas de inter\u00e9s mucho m\u00e1s bajas en el pr\u00e9stamo federal, porque hace la diferencia si es del dos por ciento o del seis por ciento\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cY aparte de eso, tenemos que averiguar c\u00f3mo podemos hacer que nuestras universidades p\u00fablicas est\u00e9n libres de deudas. No significa que los padres no aporten nada... pero no es en absoluto la pol\u00edtica correcta tener esta enorme barrera para la educaci\u00f3n superior\u201d. Otros temas candentes incluyeron preocupaciones ambientales sobre la protecci\u00f3n de Owyhee Canyonlands y el futuro de las presas del r\u00edo paso de peces pero ayuda a la agricultura de la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un veterano de la Infanter\u00eda de Marina de Vietnam dio un emotivo testimonio sobre la falta de personal en el Centro de Veteranos de Oreg\u00f3n Central despu\u00e9s de que su director fuera ascendido a un puesto diferente 10 meses antes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElla se fue y pusieron a una persona temporal en su puesto, pero no tienen suficiente personal\u201d, dijo. \u201cHay d\u00edas que el Centro Veterinario no puede estar abierto. Y hemos tenido en las \u00faltimas dos semanas m\u00e1s de un suicidio\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Estallaron aplausos de la multitud y Merkley le agradeci\u00f3 por su servicio. El senador hizo un seguimiento con el veterano para obtener su informaci\u00f3n y dijo que \u201char\u00e1 muchas llamadas telef\u00f3nicas\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El ayuntamiento dur\u00f3 aproximadamente una hora y termin\u00f3 con los comentarios finales de Merkley y Fitch. Merkley ha celebrado ayuntamientos abiertos en cada condado de Oreg\u00f3n todos los a\u00f1os desde que asumi\u00f3 el cargo en 2009. Este ayuntamiento es el 32 del a\u00f1o y el 536 en general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLas rep\u00fablicas mueren sin participaci\u00f3n ciudadana\u201d, dijo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
