Do you fail to follow your doctor's advice because he/she is trying to "control you"? Wake up.

Not governors place . Should be personal decision. Besides, do the math, less than 2/10 of 1 percent cases in Oregon . The government response is pure insanity and overstepping their authority.

I have a right to choose the risk I want to take! More people died in traffic accidents in Oregon last week. Are we going to eliminate driving because there is a greater risk than COVID? Nonsense!

I agree. And it should be same as if a vaccine is available. Those that want it can have it and those that don't want it, don't have to have it. HELLO???? That constitutes our rights.

It's strongly advised to wear a mask, but I don't think it should be illegal not to. You can always just walk away from people who aren't wearing masks if it makes you feel uncomfortable. If they persist, you can always call the police for them harassing you, not for them not wearing a mask.

You don't have the right to go around without a mask and risk my health, which is the purpose of the mask. It's not going to help you, it's helping the people around you.

You are wrong. It's her duty to protect the state from the virus. How hard is it to wear a mask to protect others in our community? Do you part.

Because it is a joke it is my right to wear or not wear. And some of us it causes more harm than it would ever help. And no one should dictate what we should do where our own health is concerned.

If I wear a mask then I'm protecting you if I have Covid-19 and don't know it, yet. If you wear your mask, then you help to protect me. It's that simple. Thinking of others instead of just me.

Not wearing one sometimes actually inhibits the rights of others. When unmasked folks enter our business, some masked customers (particularly seniors) become anxious and feel they have to leave. :-(

Unless you have a health reason not to wear one, it’s got a purpose. If it was you or your grandmother who might die from this, shouldn’t you inconvenience yourself for a time?

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!
