This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

We live near China Hat and the fear of fire and crime is constant. Plus the forest is being destroyed by illegal cutting of trees, garbage and toxins

I live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

Jamie was very impressive during the debates and represents my views on the issues
ReplyCentral Oregon is conservative not like hippie liberal antifa Portland. She should move to Eugene
ReplyI will always vote Democrat. Repubs have lost their way.
ReplyWalden has been a great rep for Oregon and in spite of constant liberal harassment continues to do his job.
ReplyI'll vote for Jamie because she is compassionate, wise, and courageous. She stands up for ordinary people. Unfortunately, Greg Walden, for whom I voted in the past, has sold out to corporate interests
ReplyLittle doubt in my mind before the debate tonight...after watching Ms. McLeod-Skinner spend more time attacking Congressman Walden, and avoiding how SHE would deal with things, I know how I'll vote..
ReplyI will not vote for a democrat
ReplyAnd it is not a Republican. For the first time in my life of 74 years I will probably vote for a Democrat simply in the hopes of keeping a Republican like Walden out of office.
ReplyJamie all the way
ReplyWalden is not for us.
ReplyJamie McLeod-Skinner has my vote! Walden is an inside-the-beltway Republican who is more concerned about his status in D.C than his constituents.
