CTANNER: Didn't you hear about the new toilet paper tax? Per sheet. So to speak.

I live outside of Bandon and can't vote on the issue, but I'll try to raise a stink next time I use the public bathroom in Old Town...:)

Bunker Hill anyone know where we can get a donation for a new sign on our adult bookstore? The town would look so much nicer if we could throw some video up on it.

Well Chilly, since you DON'T live in Bandon you probably DON'T know that our beloved city council just had us vote on whether or not we wanted to add $2 to our monthly bill to PAY for someone to maintain our CITY parks. We voted it down. The $30,000 for the sign would have PAID the park maintenance worker's wages for a YEAR. The sign is a JOKE and a WASTE of money.

keen... yes the money was donated to the beautification project of bandon, which entails the north and south entrances to bandon...why would they use it on parks? those are owned by the county.. they have their own money..

shallow al... no my name is not matt.. and yes, the "old" sign by rays is getting "updated"... they are adding things to the new one and making it nice, when they finish, they will change the old one, and make it look new also.. i didnt need to proof read that to know...and considering you live in bandon, maybe you should keep up with what goes on there.

While I dont live in Bandon,I do frequently go there,I do not agree that Bandons 101 looks ugly in any way,Have you seen BunkerHill?As far as raising rates in this time of hard times for all,couldnt the council or waterboard have come up with some kind of water conservation tips or restrictions ie..brick in the toilet type thing?

Chilly:
I DO live in Bandon and I don't waste water.
I have my facts straight.
Saving money no matter where it comes from is still saving money!
How do you "Update" a sign? Isn't the name of the town still Bandon? Aren't people still welcome?
Maybe you should proof read before hitting the post comment button.
Chilly, is your real name Matt?
:)

The sign is an eyesore and a waste of money. If the money was truly donated and if it HAS to be used ONLY for the beautification of Bandon then why did it NOT go to park maintenance? Isn't that making Bandon more beautiful? How about using the money to get the dead seals and sea lions off our beaches? You think a tourists wants to see that? Do you not realize that 1/2 the structures on 101 in Bandon are uglier then a mud fence? The sign is a joke and so is our mayor who keeps trying so hard to defend it.

for one, the sign south of town, did not come out of "the cities" fund... the money was donated and set in a fund for the beautification of bandon project, the only thing to be used for. it was donated specifically for the sign, and when they finish it, they will "update" the old one at 42/101... so shallow al.. get YOUR facts straight before you go shooting off. besides, if you dont live in bandon, you dont need to worry about it. maybe the city should up the water and sewer rates $5 bucks, maybe people will think twice about wasting water.

Now come on Shallow Al just because they have money to waste on frivility doesn't mean we shouldn't have to pay! I think the sign south of town is a good way to say "By the Way, if you didn't already know, this is Bandon"
To people who drive with blinders on this sign might get them to say "OMG we aare in Bandon let's stop and play ttourist"
Again another glaring example of governmental inefficiencies. We the tax payer keep getting hit and our wages go down and the expenses and stupidity spending go up.
