Liberals have ruined the state of Oregon and California. A republican has no vote in either state presently.

Oregon leadership is neglecting most of the state. Some how the policy's that work in Portland and Salem should work for the whole state. Probably not going to happen, Kate B. is power hungry.

Karen Bernheim

Should include Sisters too!

Christine Price

Don't forget us in Bend too!!

Rural counties have no representation in Oregon any more. Let us go; move the border!

Karen Scofield

If they are able to do it then Modoc county in california will be able

Stephanie Smart

We need to do something to get our children out of Oregon teachers union, away form Kate Brown, and Portland in general! Our tax dollars are funding Antifa and the political conditioning of our kids.

Mr. Awesome

Oregon is heavily Republican east of Portland.

Tired of Oregon government making it impossible to stay here cost wise. Our vote doesn't count.

Dave Voiles

Not likely to happen, but yeah. The libs are ruining this state just like CA has been ruined. Too dumb to see it. They move in, ruin the state, then have the gall to tell us to leave.

Marty Higgins

There are more republicans in California than you know and we are just as fed up with liberals as you are. Not all relocators want to bring their ideas to Oregon they are trying to flee the liberals.

Dustin Lee

The liberal big city nut bags can ruin their own homes. Let the rural communities run the rural areas.

Heather Bennett

The leftist extremists in Portland have made life difficult for conservative Oregonians. This may be the answer for Oregon Conservatives.

Shonette Benson

Maybe the map should reflect California where they have Oregon and Oregon where they have Idaho... (Redmond would be in Oregon, Bend would be in California)

Lance Nichols

The representatives of Oregon have nearly nothing in common with Eastern and Southern Oregoners and hardly consider anything other than large city agendas. Little to no representation for them.

No way!

Why the heck would you change a state's borders after more than 150 years of statehood? There's no reason to do this.

Such a dumb idea! And, of course, it devolved into politics. OR is a liberal state, overall. Don't like it, move to ID.

Marcia Y

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.. Why the heck should we split up our beautiful state? We just celebrated another anniversary.. The guy from Lapine who suggested it. Hey can move to Idaho.

Thom Porterfield

I'd rather join the state of Jefferson.

Chris McCann

idaho is turning blue from all the californians moving to Boise

Brad Livsey

NO MATTER WHAT ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT DOES resonates to more money in someone's pocket. So........where's the money benefit and to whom will it be paid????? Not you...or you....or you.........NOR ME!

Emily Norris

thats dumb

Victoria Martin Come'

It would be too much of a tax burden for the small area left.

mike gibson

are borders stay where they are.

Latterdaysaint

Stupid idea

Dave Stalker

It is misguided. Idaho used to be part of Oregon...the Oregon Territory, so if we change anything we should absorb Idaho back into Oregon. Plus, Idaho is a hotbed of ultra right wing politics.

I am glad that we were Blue over all on the West coast. Those flyover states have too much say.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

You're literally bumper to bumper from the Bill Healy bridge. The people from the Old Mill Never Cease coming.

If it weren’t so maddening, our City counselors would make for a cast in a Monty Python show. They befuddle themselves with ludicrous ideas and foist them onto the taxpayers. Bend is becoming a laughing stock to outsiders and a source of continual angst for the residents.

SUE ABERNATHY

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

sara kreps

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

Dave Krajczynski

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

Jeff Sanders

The people coming from the Old Mill Never Cease coming. Traffic is backed up to Bill Healy bridge everyday. At least in the winter.

Kathy Brown

Make a LARGER round-about!! A stop light will only make it worse!!

Chris Gonzales

A roundabout's primary purpose in traffic management is to improve safety and traffic flow, resulting in less congestion and fewer accidents compared to traditional stoplight intersections. Key words: Flow, less congestion and Stoplights. Now they want to add Stoplights!!! City waste at its Best!

Latterdaysaint

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

Fletcher Jackson

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

Tim Walker

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs
