I’m furious about the city allowing Verizon to build a 4g tower next to the elementary. This is something the people should vote on. The city is putting business before its voters and should be fired

Heidi Owen

everything is!

Speculation about harmful towers, electrical plants and even cell phones at your head have been around for decades. If not harmful, speculation about such things would have been put to rest long ago.

I know they are bad for health. Several peer reviewed studies show it. Not 'believe' it's bad; I know. You can tell when you camp next to one. Don't believe me? Try it. Don't want to? Why not? lol

I don't think cell towers offer that much of a blow to our health, in the sense of how much radiation we're exposed to because of them. We'll be fine!

I don't know how these parents can worry about these towers when they all have a cell phone glued to their ear all the time, AND they let their children have them too.

I have lived with one in my backyard for 12 years and no problems.

Cell towers use microwaves(used in microwaves) and radio waves(used in radios)which have a longer wavelength than visible light(basically anything you can see)and short wavelengths are more dangerous

Pennie Day Holiday

No more then the sun. The protesters wasn't doing anything to protect their children from the sun.

Amy

I mean, I have a literal microwave generator in my kitchen.

Rachel Abudaram

I don’t think they are harmful at all

According to the ACS, they are most likely safe. https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/radiation-exposure/cellular-phone-towers.html

Quite frankly there are other things that have an actual impact on your health like drinking soda and exercising that you should be more concerned about.

Elizabeth Spalding

Agree. It's easier to focus on arbitrary things like cell towers than actually have to look at real things that control your health, like diet and exercise!

No to more taxes, people are taxed enough!

JB Demaris

ODOT, and other state agencies need to live within a reasonable budget and the state needs to stop raising taxes!

John Conway

ODOT Leadership is totally incompetent! They spend a billion dollars they don’t have and come to the taxpayers to bail them out. As far as increasing gas tax and registration fees we already pay.40 cents per gallon and our gas prices are $2 per gallon more than the rest of the country. No more mone!

Garry Aklin

We are taxed enough ! Oregon needs to balance the budget!

Jim Hipp

We are taxed to death and I'm sick of it. Let Tina cover it out of her pocket!

Pam Ferguson

We are paying enough. The odor people have NOTbeen doing their jobs the last few years. You never see them out working like you used to and there are a lot of "mistakes" it started going down hill when they went to "teams" no boss system

We need a 'No Camp Zone ' radius around urban and sub urban areas and then have a few managed campsites within the new limit. Only 2 options. The risk to property owners and the option to live on the fringe is not right. Not a problem before 2020 and it's over time to get back to before.
