The right is so ignorant they think Venezuela is a socialist country. They never look at the success of the Nordic countries. Low IQ voters may once again give us trash like Trump, hope not.

Socialist Nordic countries is a MYTH! Even the Prime Minister of Denmark was miffed at the notion. He recently made it very clear in a speech that they are not socialists. Do the research.

I like tim ryan; beto orourke; and Biden, the latter only because he has the best chance of beatingTrump. Basically, anyone who can beat T is who I suppport. Not the year of the woman, unfortunately.

Some good and some unknown, but anyone that can wipe the smirk off Chump and his peons faces is fine with me-can't be any worse than what we have put up with to date.

There's way too many in the preliminary debates. I think it's going to confuse voters in the early stages, and divide the party as a whole.

It is my greatest hope that someone with some common scenes runs against Trump. I would like to see someone organize the public to force Congress to change it's ways. such as setting term limits.

Why do you fools think Venezuela is socialist? Because Trump told you so? Look to the Nordic countries, or do some research on the history of America, and socialism. Think for yourselves for a change

Gabe you are right. Brain washed Bernie followers think the Nordic countries are socialist. They are not. Social democracy is totally different from democratic socialism, i.e. Bernie socialism.

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

The homeless are not residents, they are squatters!

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

If he can't be honest about such a basic thing as his education, he can't be trusted with Deschutes County's safety! What else has he lied about? He should resign!
