LA PINE, OR -- Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone is hoping to broaden community feedback on local issues by offering seminars in outlying areas.  DeBone tells KBND News, "It kind of came ot me after attending City Club of Central Oregon meetings, and Pub Talk meetings and the different things we get to go to that we could have a great series of meetings in our community in Southern Deschutes County. These are open to anybody, but the idea is to talk with Newberry country, Sunriver, La Pine, and even the services provided for Northern Klamath County." 

The first seminar will focus on public safety. It's Thursday, January 22, from 11:30 to 1 p.m. at the La Pine Grange Hall.
