Commented "Not permanently. Just as long as Covid presents a threat - which could be another several months - to give restaurants more outside space for diners. Once Covid is no longer a major threat, I think the reduction in parking is more of a problem, so parklets should not be permanent."
Commented "Absolutely! I also support Vaccine Passports. Anti-vaxxers should not have the right to continue to put others at risk. Their sections should have all the required protocols, while those who can prove they have been vaccinated should have more freedom from masks and social distancing."
Commented "Unless they have a TRULY medical reason for not getting vaccinated, they should. More and more young people (teens) are being hospitalized with Covid, So yes they should be vaccinated. Other (early childhood) vaccines are required! Why not for another disease??"
Commented "NO!! Bend is overrun by tourists and people looking to move here. The Chamber needs to tone it down and quit encouraging people to come here and move here. Our economy is doing just FINE without extra people here for any reason!! Covid is not gone. Building cannot keep up. Tourists not welcome!"
Replied "Rigged? Like McConnell changing the rules to suit HIS party? Like saying the next SCOTUS justice should be elected by the "next" POTUS - when he didn't want Obama's choice - but completely changing the rules when it was Trump in office. You guys talk out of both sides of your mouth!! Disgusting!"
Commented "Our pubic servants are PAID TO DO THEIR JOBS! Walking out on a bill they disagree on is acting like a petulant child, Get in there and do the work. Otherwise, don't try to get elected for a job you do not intend to do."
Commented "If it's private, by its very nature, it wouldn't be "policed," meaning there would likely be no distancing or mark-wearing. It's just too risky. It's a shame students cannot enjoy such HS highlights, but it's better to be alive and be able to reflect on it later."
