I think counties should have the right to defy state laws because every county should have their own choice.

We have to get Oregon out of the Democrat's hands and their destructive ways!

Federal law trumps state or local laws...UNLESS the state or local laws benefit then the state or local laws prevail. For example. If a federal law says you cannot protect yourself but a state or local law says you can, then the helpful law prevails. Its been like that for years.

Kimra Tollefson

The state is no longer representing the people. The laws are contrary to the Constitution. The government is betraying its own people.

Andy Dobrinin

Local control of government. No laws shall be passed that infringe on individuals rights. 2 ND amendment is for the citizens to maintain control of their own person and their government. Without it the country will fail.

Dawn Williams

When laws are contradictory to the Constitution they should not be enforced. When tyranny becomes law disobedience become necessary! STOP VOTING FOR LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

Kelly Jones

The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED

If the state can defy federal laws, the counties should be able to defy state laws.

Tarasem

Laws are anti-freedom.

Mary M

Depending on what they are? In this case for guns yes because the State is going against the Constitution for our 2nd amendment right.. "SHALL NOT INFRINGE" SAYS IT ALL!!!

P Robbins

That's not what the Supreme Court said in Heller.

Matt Cyrus

Every elected official takes an oath to uphold the Constitution and are obligated to ignore any law they believe to believe to be unconstitutional.

P Robbins

No. The Supreme Court decides what is or is not Constitutional, not individuals.

Robert Northrup

Multnomah County doesn't follow the laws. Portland is quickly becoming like Chicago. Crime and murder are on the rise all over Oregon. Oregon, California and Washington are being destroyed by democrats.

Conservative counties should defy liberal laws

Tarasem

Everybody should defy all laws.

I think every county should follow state laws. If they see an ordinance has a conflict with state law, it shouldn't pass.

No but, they have the right (and should benefit from it) to deviate from the FEDERAL norms and mandates when warranted. You know the goose and the gander comparisons don't you?..........Same here!

k san

I can't even believe this is a question!! Of course, they should!

Les Adams

Well, because that's the system in place to protect EVERYONE'S welfare, whether we like every specific law or not.

P Robbins

Laws are for everyone. Without our laws we have anarchy. This is a ridiculous question for a "poll".

Tarasem

Laws are anti freedom.

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.
