They are trying to take away our Constitutional right to vote regardless of being a criminal or not that is our right

Latterdaysaint

Not a good idea

Amanda

So, felons should be able to own guns too? After all, that's a constitutional right as well. Try serving your sentence first.

Kristine Dallas

Just because you're incarcerated they're still citizens of the United States and we should not take that away from them constitutionally

This is about the stupidest law I have ever seen Liberal Democrats come up with. Just another way for Democrats to continue destroying Oregon. It's all about gaining more Democratic voters. Shame on all of you.

Kristine Dallas

Regardless of your criminal status you're taking away the constitutional right of civilians and that's not okay they have the right to vote regardless

Ross Poldark

The government wants to take away many of the freedoms and rights of law abiding citizens, and now they want to give criminals the right to Vote. This says a lot about the lack of moral compass and lack of integrity In our government.

Debra Sun-Mills

Absolutely no. They lost their rights when they committed a crime. This is just another stupid politically motivated law.

Tanya nogales

Prisoners should not have the right to vote. They already had made a bad choice in life. We are already facing state and government problems without their vote. I dont need any criminal choosing whats best for us and our children.

Amanda

Absolutely not! They lost that right when they broke the law. Plus, I'm pretty sure their voting rights are restored after they serve their sentence.

Terree Putman

They are incarcerated & should NOT BE ALLOWED WHILE THEY ARE ON THE INSIDE. A dumb ideal!! They can vote when They are out and a part of society.

Ron Deems

One of the consequences of being a scourge of society is you loose your right to vote. Keep it that way.

Dave DuRette

Have you got some sort oof vendetta going here Mr. Daniels? Give it a break.

SunnySunshinestein

Only after they've completed their jail sentence and paid all fines and/or restitution.

Rick Allen

Of course not, that is absurd. Criminals, illegal aliens, non citizens, thats bizarre nonsense. The leftest D A s are letting dangerous criminal back on the streets before their trials, this is insane, and twisted. A criminal waives those rights when committing a crime, period!

Mark Mueller

When a person commits a felony they have demonstrated that they cannot function in a civil society and therefore forfeit their right to vote. This looks like another Democrat attempt to harvest votes.

Deb Kizer Dyck

Criminals have lost that privilege! It's outrageous to consider giving that back to them. We need proper law-abiding citizens to help guide this country, not criminals!

Latterdaysaint

Voting is a privilege; a privilege properly exercised at the voting booth, not from a prison cell. States have a significant interest in reserving the vote for those who have abided by the social contract that forms the foundation of a representative democracy. We are talking about rapists, murderer

I'm also, btw he is not my daddy

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
