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.

I just realized last month that the Bird ebikes where not littering the sidewalks.

SA Timms

Too many bike riders currently riding on a sidewalk, then they change to a street, then a bike path. BTW...how fast will these ebikes go. Also, many riders aren't cautious....currently. Who's going to enforce an age minimum? THIS is already a problem! Hope accidents don't happen.

Joal Smith

I agree 100% Even Walking is dangerous because of bikes

Wade Palmer

These are a nuisance and left all over town. That and the traffic problems caused by less car lanes.

Lisa York

great ..more e bikes left all over the city... they're a nuisance...

Tammie Hagemann

I voted this way because I still have 50.00 on the blue bird bike app that I can't get back at all. I had NO idea that when the program ended you wouldn't get your money back

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Kimmy Wasatch

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students

There are times that they shouldn't have them but check them at the door of class rooms to cut back on the use. Emergencies do happen and cells are useful
