I'd rather have an extra hour of light in the evening than morning.

Longer evenings are more useful than early mornings. Also, it’s been scientifically proven that switching the clocks on your population increases work injury, vehicle accidents, and heart attaks

Poorly worded question. From the responses, many misunderstood the question. I can live with either DLS or Standard time, just pick one and leave it.

Health and safety are major concerns. Darkness about 5 pm in Dec. is dangerous. Additionally, the later hour in the morning of additional daylight is beneficial to commuting and mental outlook.

I would be for leaving DST permanent but I think it would be less of a hassle to go opt into standard time. It's written into law that we have that option. We don't need a useless act of congress

Absolutely make DST permanent!! More productive daylight hours. I note that folks are responding to this survey in the wrong columes. Pay attn to what you are voting for. Most comments make no sense.

Before DST became law it was rejected by the people three times. It was the legislature tat made it law. Time to do the will of the people.

We could just put our clocks back the one minute or whatever it is that changing the time helps with. I like longer days. It just doesn't make sense to change our time by an hour.

Actually, the question is should we keep STANDARD TIME permanent... I think "natural earth time" is what we need to get back to.

Hard to answer, you should just ask do you prefer DST or Standard time, the questions make no sense. However my answer, we should stay on Standard Time year round and stop messin with crap!

We are no longer an agrarian society and don’t need extra daylight hours to harvest the fields. Let’s just go back permanently to standard time and leave our clocks alone. It is too much of a hassle.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

The terminal expansion is exciting and so needed! This airport is nice already but expanding and updating it is necessary given the growing demand. My family and I use it regularly and we look forward to more travel options and amenities.

More & bigger planes? Huge power lines coming in basically to support data centers. Central Oregon is long gone from the gem it once was.
