It can sure lighten the load anyway.

Local and state governments cannot become too involved in local housing markets, as it messes with natural boom and bust cycles. The market will self-regulate.

Government Over-Reach

Kevin Crabtree

You want something affordable don't let Government get involved

Dave Voiles

The government is the least efficient vehicle for solving any problem. You've heard the term "flushing money down the toilet?"

Johnny Mooney

No. Government is what is driving the middle class into a lower income bracket with overtaxing us. Their solution would be to tax us more to redistribute wealth so we depend on government even more.

Ben Wiborg

The government already is the problem.

Scott Camps

Nope.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

Government can help with it, but not solve it on its own.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Kimmy Wasatch

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
