Winter is here. Snow is on the ground and in the mountains. Locals are experiencing cold times as temperatures hover in the teens and recession realities cut deeper into consciousness. Businesses are hurting if not going under. Job security is questionable. Construction is in hibernation. Tourists, who stimulate much to the economy, are far away.
The Federal government is too busy in its own transformation to notice us here on the border of rural and urban Oregon. Even the State government seems too buried in budget stagnation to glance this way. 
On this first day of winter, does Bend look forward to a brighter and warming future? Where are we heading, and at what cost?
