If a viral outbreak becomes a public health concern (ex: measles outbreak in WA state that's now spread to OR and HI), it's well within a state health agency's power to limit exemptions for these vaccines. It's to protect our kids! Show Less

The only exemption should be for a Dr. diagnosed allergy... period!

Why ask

Ka San

News reports have shown that families are requesting exemptions for reasons totally unrelated to vaccines. I can't believe in this day and time that we are even debating the need for vaccinations!

Felix Pressler

If parents don't want to vaccinate their kids, they should not be allowed to attend public OR private schools!

I get the health concern but this is inching ever so close to violating someone's free will. Controlling one another is not the answer.

STOP PUSHING YOUR AGENDA 21 ON PEOPLE!!!

I truly hate nanny state laws, So if want to let your kids get sick and die, fine. But they cant go to public schools till they have their shots

Ka San

Yes, officials DO have the right to make such decisions when it affects the whole community. Those parents who don't vaccinate their kids are ignorant and their kids should not attend public schools.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Gary Dehm

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Jay B Lane

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
