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.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Michael Turpin

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Jay B Lane

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
