No session needed. The climate bill is shot down. This will not work out with or without another special session. It's a dead horse we don't want. Bury it!

Ruth Beal

They will NOT return until the bill is Killed. PERIOD... It will kill Oregon. Very bad bill.

Republicans will return before a special session's needed - they know it's bad form to duck a vote for much longer.

If this bad bill is on the table, the Republicans won't come back just for a special session.

Heidi Owen

And we wouldn't want them to either!!!

Judy Ostrom-Dixon

Our politicians cannot seem to do there jobs no matter how much time they are allotted...such a ridiculous joke at every level!

Wanda Hancock

With the whole rep congressmen not wanting this, does that not make you think how wrong it is.

Heidi Owen

The people of Oregon need to vote on this stuff, not Kate and her dictatorship.

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Yes, and do some more logging and cleaning the forest

Oakley Taylor

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Oakley Taylor

Bravo!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Oakley Taylor

True dat.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

Yay to you!

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

Oakley Taylor

So true.
