I believe this is a tax scheme to provide funds for the state retirement. It will come fromf the pockets of working people. Any tax increase directly or indirectly should go to voters/tax payers.

I think that all important bills should be sent to the voters. It is obvious that our elected officials are not doing the job we hired them to do.

The voters have a right to decide any new taxes. This is a new tax.

A law so far reaching and controversial is definitely a subject that should be addressed by the people it would affect. There are too many lawmakers who do not understand the consequences they inflict

Letting the voters decide seems like a fair way to handle some issues. The problem is the losers of the vote whine about losing and claim the winners don't represent them. Democracy in action.

Of course! We the people! The dems know it won't pass so they throw these so called "emergency clauses" in so they can bypass us. It's bewildering that people still vote democrat. Tax and spend.

This is getting ridiculous with the Republicans leaving their jobs and still getting paid. Shame on them! Let the voters decide for sure!

Obviously the Oregon Democrats don't want to involve the people of Oregon in the decision because their Cap and Tax scheme would lose by a landslide. It's all about money and not the environment.

Yes. Oregonians want something to be done to help curtail the effects of climate change. Big polluters like Georgia Pacific need to be responsible (and not feed voters misinformation before!).

Most voters don't bother to find out the truth about science and have no business voting on such crucial legislation. Most Rs don't even believe in climate change, so why should they vote on it?

Pure liberal BS. Liberals are afraid to let voters decide.

We elect people to represent us. We don't need a legislature who passes their responsibilities to the voters who don't have the information to make an informed decision. Walking out solves nothing.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
