It would limit residence and spur of the moment use. One of the perks of living here is the easy access to trails, lakes, etc. Maybe require limits only on weekends or major holidays.

Karen McCormick

Because locals deserve first chance at access. Give locals a week to apply first then open it up to outsiders.

Ben Wiborg

Outside revinue for Oregon is a plus.

Matthew Carter

The tourist and new comers seem to be the ones trashing the place. The trails were not like this during the first few years I lived here (12 - 15/16).

Dave Voiles

Of course CO residents should be exempt. I didn't move here 42 years ago to be told I have to stand in line to hike on a trail in my backyard!

Restrictions on public lands should apply to the public at large, which includes locals as well.

Make it a percentage CO residents and percentage tourists.

Whether running tourists or livestock, every piece of real estate has a carrying capacity. There is an upper limit in the matter of the number of head one can put out on the range.

Valerie Curtis

It's PUBLIC land.

Austin Kingsley

Everyone should be held to the same standard. We all have a responsibility to limit our impact on the environment.

Lynn Huntley

Just because someone lives here doesn't mean they are less destructive.

Medicare Advantage is not Medicare. They are private plans run by corporations for the purpose of extracting as much money out of Medicar beneficiaries and the government as possible. It is private insurance and a Republican plan to destroy actual Medicare. It costs taxpayers a lot more than actual

Typical local dumbass

Because, as always is the case, the far right terrorizes voters with false claims of "socialism" and a single-payer system.

No. St. CHARLES is problematic to seniors' health.

Sussie Due

THATS for sure! I was told years ago that a monopoly is illegal in the USA but apparently St Charles found its way around that. They own every single hospital and most of the clinics here.

We are very satisfied with Pacific Source Medicare Advantage. Had a Medicare Supplement plan several yrs. ago and every year the cost went up according to age plus had to buy a separate RX plan. Very relieved to not have to shop for a very expensive alternative to Adva. Thank you Pacific Source.
