I've taken more care in creating defensible space around my home, which I haven't done enough of in recent years.

There's only so much I can do to protect my home. Once those things are done, it's just up to luck.

Not a threat where I live.

Ka San

In a new-construction house, so none of my plantings are mature enough to exascerbate fire danger. That said, the HOA in NWX REQUIRES "as many pines as possible" to be left. This creates fire danger!

Sam Ackerman

As always I have trimmed the trees on my my land and cleared out the under brush as well.

No to more taxes, people are taxed enough!

JB Demaris

ODOT, and other state agencies need to live within a reasonable budget and the state needs to stop raising taxes!

John Conway

ODOT Leadership is totally incompetent! They spend a billion dollars they don’t have and come to the taxpayers to bail them out. As far as increasing gas tax and registration fees we already pay.40 cents per gallon and our gas prices are $2 per gallon more than the rest of the country. No more mone!

Garry Aklin

We are taxed enough ! Oregon needs to balance the budget!

Jim Hipp

We are taxed to death and I'm sick of it. Let Tina cover it out of her pocket!

Pam Ferguson

We are paying enough. The odor people have NOTbeen doing their jobs the last few years. You never see them out working like you used to and there are a lot of "mistakes" it started going down hill when they went to "teams" no boss system

We need a 'No Camp Zone ' radius around urban and sub urban areas and then have a few managed campsites within the new limit. Only 2 options. The risk to property owners and the option to live on the fringe is not right. Not a problem before 2020 and it's over time to get back to before.

Anotrher example of throwing good money after bad. The more freebies, the more homeless.
