More efficient, because of staffing issues.

GT Thomas

Stations cannot get help and I prefer to pump my owm. I am tired of liberals telling everyone how to live.

Kevin Nik Myles Hayward

I already do. Self serve is legal in rural areas. Madras has self serve. Most gas stations along I84 east of The Dalles has self serve. Apparently it's the city folk that aren't trusted to pump their own gas because folks who live in rural areas have been permitted to pump their own gas for years.

Steven Huillet

It's about time Oregon joined the rest of the US allowing people to pump their own gas and diesel!

Why would you want to pump your own gas plus it provides jobs

Jane CommunityMember

Diesel has always been legal. Gasoline users have been discriminated against.

Marcus Ainsworth

why would you not? oh you live in that one state

Kenneth Suel

I'm from the rest of the country. I cannot always contain my annoyance. I never asked, wanted or needed a pit crew. I'm from. Alaska. I got it covered.

Lee Edlund

Good compromise. Pump your own or have an attendant

Jane CommunityMember

Absolutely. I already do in Jefferson and Crook Counties. Time is money and the quicker I can get back on the road, the better.

I appreciate the service, especially not having to stand outside in the cold.

Where do I wash the gas off my hands? Oregon has always voted this down. 61% of Oregonians do not support this. Gas stations will make more money with one employee . Gas in Washington is a lot higher than ours and you pump your own. Why are the legislators deciding for us?

Kim Marie

Why take away more jobs? If you don't have a few minutes to spare waiting for an attendant, maybe you should organize your time better.

Wow, you should change your name to Karen. Not everyone wants to waste their time waiting for attendants. Some of us have better things to do with our time.

GT Thomas

They have repeatedly said they cannot get help. And if you want to stay in your car you can but quit imposing your beliefs on everyone.

Bob Majka

Why would I get out to pump my own gas when the full service will be the same price? this is asinine, in all other states self-service is cheaper.

Kat Johnson

I really enjoy the ease of not having to pump the gas myself. Also I think it's good to provide jobs for people who can work at the gas stations.

Deb Kizer Dyck

I pumped my own gas for years, so I really appreciate being able to stay in my car especially during winter months. It provides jobs for those who might not otherwise get one. I don't mind having options, but don't think it's necessary for the decision to be made for me.

Off the path

I have and I can but with a bunch of kids it's nice to be served. I appreciate my gas attendant.

Jay Ball

Not having to pump your own has is one of the last good things oregon has goin for itself any more☝️

SunnySunshinestein

I'm perfectly capable of pumping my own gas but the bottom line, no excuses, is I just don't want to.

Latterdaysaint

No, if it's bad weather why would you want to plus it provides jobs

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

The terminal expansion is exciting and so needed! This airport is nice already but expanding and updating it is necessary given the growing demand. My family and I use it regularly and we look forward to more travel options and amenities.

k san

I wouldn't use the word "excited," but it will be a welcome change!

David Kline

Ready for the 747s!

Charlie Lyster

More potential for cheaper airfare/ more options for a single carrier to better take advantage of there air miles

More & bigger planes? Huge power lines coming in basically to support data centers. Central Oregon is long gone from the gem it once was.
