Bend’s neighborhood associations got a vote of, well, not quite no confidence but less confidence at a city subcommittee meeting Tuesday. Neighborhood associations will not be playing as critical a role in selecting the next round of neighborhood street safety projects.

In the November 2022 election, Oregonians passed — by a 68%-32% margin — Measure 113, which mandates that legislators accumulating 10 or more unexcused absences be barred from re-election.
