I think there is a need for businesses to fully reopen. As long as they follow the basic covid-19 guidelines they should be able to reopen along with schools.

Oregon Constitution grants impartiality among all businesses. You either close ALL of them or you open ALL of them

Kim Oden

Yes, as long as they can do it safely. It's past time.

Amber Chan

To save the economy ...small businesses can't last much longer if they remain closed.

Kristin Grace

Many businesses are suffering. Many people are loosing their life accomplishments and savings. Children are suffering mentally and physically. Government should not be acting in a parental role making things mandatory, enough is enough.

Paige Tosello

COVID numbers are not correlated to indoor dining, this is causing an unnecessary hardship for businesses who follow social distancing protocols.

Latterdaysaint

They should be able to stay open using precautions

Chloe Stills

So that we don't have more businesses closing permanently.

YES!! With an adjusted occupancy rate ALL businesses including gyms and sport facilities such as tennis, pickleball... as long as it isn't a contact sport should be able to OPEN UP!! The spread is coming for family gatherings and the under 30 crowd being irresponsible!!

Nik Myles

These lock downs do nothing but hurt Americans

Robert Northrup

Why not? Trump is gone. No reason now to destroy our economy. It is to late however too much damage has been done to recover. I anticipate a downward spiral into a black hole because democrats don't want a thriving economy.

You spend less time at a restaurant than students do in a classroom.

Christena

OMG YES- reopen as regular. Figure something else out.

Liz Mullin

It's only hurting our economy to remain closed. I've continued to work throughout this shutdown but many businesses have closed their doors for good. What has being closed really accomplished? Nothing because we were closed and the numbers still climbed. If people are afraid then stay home!

Rick Allen

Yes obviously, and most definitely, the business shut downs are hurting more people than the virus. Big stores are open, why destroy the small business especially the restaurants! Less than 1.4 % has come from restaurants. This is from Democrat's that love control ! We must bet Brown out of office

No, we have to follow the guidelines.

I think we need to follow the guidelines that have been set. I am still wary of having businesses fully reopened when the pandemic is still going on.

Unfortunately no. I do miss them and understand the frustration but let's take it slow.

Jeff Howerton

We are not through with this. Too many people are still getting sick!

Larry Yeargan

We need to trust the science. The federal government needs to develop a comprehensive program to defeat the pandemic which would include assistance to restaurants and gyms, since the states don't have the money to aid these important businesses.

Jan Dow

Covid can spread too easily in restaurants and gyms. With the new mutations of the virus being way more contagious, we can't take chances. Way more people can catch the new variant, have no symptoms, but be very contagious.

Latterdaysaint

Using precautions we they should be able to stay open

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

Lee Daggett

There humans too

Because they are steam rolling the homeless

The homeless are not residents, they are squatters!

Kayla Sulak

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

Richard Williams

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Joanna Lee

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

Shane Murray

The homeless have trashed the forest out there. It makes me sick

Greg Deadbolt Leach

Time to move these people to the Attorneys and Judges front lawns!!!

Karen Thrower

The China Hat area has been badly damaged and disrespected by campers.

Jeannie H.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

Nancy

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

Lynn Marie Leehmann

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

Brad Aimone

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

Nancy Roquero

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

Lisa York

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

Debbie Boyd

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

Marie Gilbert

We live near China Hat and the fear of fire and crime is constant. Plus the forest is being destroyed by illegal cutting of trees, garbage and toxins

Bendlover

I haven't felt safe hiking or biking there for years due to the aggressive homeless people out there.

Pam

We need to ensure that the lands are managed for the enjoyment/needs of all peoples, not a select few

pamcuny

I worry every year WHO is in the woods starting fires, whether deliberate or unintentional consequences…

Jeff Sanders

I live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

Latterdaysaint

There needs to be more homeless shelters in the city!

Kim Kahl

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.
