Yes, first of all the lousy snow year ruined my snowmobiling and snow biking at Hoo Doo (and by the way Bob Hoo Doo is also obviously closed Mon. & Tues, not just Willamette pass! ) Fire danger after last year is obviously a concern! Water levels especially wells, and low water levels in general.

While I do enjoy warm weather I do not care to choke on smoke through August and September. Then there is agriculture, nature and wildlife to consider. We all need water and there is less of it to go around every year

We have concern for the fire danger but even more than that is the effect that is having on our ranchers and farmers here on the high desert.

Our drought in Central Oregon is as bad as California's. Also, how much water are 30+ golf courses using every year?? Our farmers and people should suffer to keep useless golf courses open?????

We might have a bad fire season, plus Kate brown needs to do some forest management and thin the forests so the season won't be that bad

Do you think safe parking spots are a good way to combat the homelessness?

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
