There comes a time when endangered species protections need to come in 2nd when farmers are continually losing baby calves and other livestock.

Joe Baker

To allow people to protect livestock and pets. Also working with wolves in Idaho, the conservationists that was speaking on the news didn’t tell the whole truth. Do the research, in Idaho since 2000 we have had problems with them going on killing sprees and not eating what they kill. It’s not rare.

Steven Huillet

Wolves are killing machines. Destroying deer and elk populations, and now destroying ranchers livestock. They should have never been brought back to Oregon.

Look at Yellowstone. Once reintroduced the habitat recovered from over grazing. God has a plan.

Jean Bartholomew

Wolf 158 was an outlier. ATYPICAL behavior, which you noted very briefly. Usually easy known deterrence or relocation methods work!! There is no need for a killing spree of these beautiful wild animals.

Allison Boyce

Farmers need to take other action, using horse patrol, 4 x 4 patrol, more employees. You can’t just kill everything that gets in your way.

They’ve been re-introduced after having been absent from the ecosystem for a very long time.

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.
