Bend City Councilor Victor Chudowksy feels it's been too much and city leaders aren't looking at the big picture.

"I feel in such a system it's very difficult to set priorities.  We're going to face a fire department request or whether to dredge up Mirror Pond. But no one is looking at the big picture which one is a higher priority, which one can wait and which one is critical."

Chudowsky believes the city must do a better job of prioritizing these tax request and then go out to the voters for their approval.
