I think stronger measures are necessary. Covid-19 cases continue to surge and the delta variant is a big threat. We need to do it so we can put an end to this.

No one has a right to suscept anyone to a preventable deadly disease. No one has a right to drive drunk and possibly kill someone in an accident. No one has a right to walk around naked in public. I don't understand why this is any different. It's for the good of all.

Rachel Deanna

Not everyone reacts the same to vaccines/shots. It should be left for those to choose. BUT what else has shown to work is mask wearing & anti maskers caused this spread. The sys is broken. You have distrust with Big Pharma, & lots of fear being pushed. Heart inflammation with children is stressful

HELLO!!! GET VACCINATED SO WE ALL CAN MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES AND YOU DON'T DIE 🙄

Kevin Large

Its time to end this pandemic. I think it should be mandatory for any one working with the public to be vaccinated

Nicole Jackson

19 mos later and we're toddling this out like babies...Medical professionals are EXHAUSTED! Tired of treating unvaccinated patients when vaccines are available, ones that lessen the symptoms, lessen the severity in the 6% you get it by over exerting it's ability to protect.

Brad Livsey

Oh, Yes!!...Don't you know that government intrusion by Dr. Fauci's wise words of wisdom is what is good for the masses!? Cattle are more manageable when corralled, and so are people. As close to reality in this world these days take your lead from the WHO only.

Lynn Huntley

Somehow, I think it is too little, too late. This should still have been in place until a larger population is vaccinated. And the ones who have to have weekly Covid testing should have to pay for each and every one.

k san

Eventually, yes. The science supports it.

Yes for the benefit of the whole

Dianne Price

Whatever it takes!!

Rachel Deanna

We are in a time of desperation to get our normal life back, but it's a subtle loss of our bodies our choice...right? I agree something needed to happen, but I don't like the slippery slope of mandating a very new shot/vaccine. Which caused heart inflammation in our children. That's scarier to me.

I think the government is overreaching by requiring vaccines for federal workers and contractors. I don't think this will make a difference.

Unconstiitutional overreach.

Rachel Deanna

We're in a global pandemic, and with people protesting mask wearing this leaves the society no choice. No one wanted to follow any guidelines, and so now we're in this position.

Darlene Mikus

What happened to the my body my choice crowd?

Latterdaysaint

What about the child's choice

Sussie Due

My sister is employed by a very large company. She is allergic to the vaccine and was advised buy her Doctor not to take it. What now?

Kevin Crabtree

Lets Go Brandon

Teresa Rodriguez

Employers are going to lay off employees to get under the 100 number. Companies that are having a hard time filling positions anyway are going to lose experienced work force that they need to stay in business so they will ignore the vaccine requirement.

Teresa Parsons

No it will Not because we already know that vaccinated people can still catch the virus and can still spread the virus. All the mandates are going to do is increase the number of unemployed and increase the employee shortage. Why make that worse??

Rick Allen

I do not agree with federal mandates especially from this moron Biden! But I think everyone should get vaccinated to help us all get back to normal! How else are we going to get past this.

Rachel Deanna

I don't think the vaccine will drop cases, but it may slow things down. We still have parents protesting masks which is proven to slow the spread too. Masks should be Mandatory, injections into our bodies should not. Not everyone reacts the same, majority might, but who pays for the those injured?

Latterdaysaint

Are body are choice!

Rachel Deanna

Yeah I hope the same attitude it directed for women's choice when it comes to her body.

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

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!

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.

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!

steven

I just heard the recording. He lied about lying. Gotta go.

David Kline

Sad to see this happen.

Susan Kate Mayer

Good job DA! Glad someone is doing their job

Ceiling Cat9001

Recall him.

Michael Hickey

Why is he still in this position, come on Deschutes Co. This is pathetic.

Laura Wattenbarger

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

Anne King

If he can't be honest about such a basic thing as his education, he can't be trusted with Deschutes County's safety! What else has he lied about? He should resign!

SunnySunshinestein

He needs to resign.
