At the end of the day, these are our representatives who were elected by the people. When the people speak up, it's difficult for those representatives not to listen.

Elected officials should be listening to their constituents. They are representing the people or should be.

I don't think dramatic protests carry as much weight as individual complaints or other forms of protest when it comes to persuading legislators of change.

No, it's amusing to them all. Considering the majority of the time their minds have already been made up, as to their ill judgement and direction. Just (feel good) common courtesy to us the public

Dave Voiles

I think it used to make a difference, not anymore. the dems are like the Borg. They think only of their agenda, just look at the divisiveness in our state. All socialists now.

Heidi Owen

They are all bought and paid for. especially here in Oregon.

No. Unless you're Trump. He's been having "campaign" rallies throughout his term in office. I can't see any influence that has come from them, except to boost his giant, but fragile ego.

Leslie Ann

They never have care and they never will. The people don't mean anything to the government.

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!!

Karen Thrower

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

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

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.

The terminal expansion is exciting and so needed! This airport is nice already but expanding and updating it is necessary given the growing demand. My family and I use it regularly and we look forward to more travel options and amenities.

k san

I wouldn't use the word "excited," but it will be a welcome change!

David Kline

Ready for the 747s!

More & bigger planes? Huge power lines coming in basically to support data centers. Central Oregon is long gone from the gem it once was.
