The Govenor needs to listen to the People and stop making this state another California.

Bill Boyles

Cap and trade is a hidden tax and will not accomplish reduced pollution.

Kenneth Gardner

democrats do not represent rural oregon

Randy LeBlanc

this taxing insanity has got to stop!!!!!!!!!

Sam Ackerman

It's their job to resist.

dave klym

The lunatics are running the asylum in Salem. This is the only option Republicans have to stop this incredibly stupid bill that will have no effect on the climate and will financially ruin Oregon.

Louise Baker

Dims trying to pass a harmful law.

Kristi Isley

They are doing what they can to speak for their constituents because Kate Brown doesn’t listen or (presumably) care.

Paula Watt Olsen

Governor, it's Government By The People For The People. Let the people of Oregon vote on your Cap & Trade.

Dave Voiles

A better question is, why are the Dems not allowing this vote to go to the people? This is NOT an emergency. Good for the Republicans for bringing this to everyone's attention!

Jacob Price

Shame on you people that voted this hag in.

Heidi Owen

Most definatley this should be our vote not that idiot browns say.

Raymond Meskill

Its the right thing to do.

Tom Price

This bill is an extreme assault on our rights. It will do not one damn thing to help the climate. It is nothing but another money grab that effects rural communities, the middle class.

This taxing has got to stop

Robert Northrup

I believe Brown is destroying the Oregon Democrat Party. I also refuse to call them the Democratic Party.

Shannon Harp

I think they should walk out and keep walking until they find the nearest cliff and jump!

I was an R for 38 yrs.They are now out of touch.Walking out solves nothing.Do your job.If not, get out.I don't know our constitution says the minority can simply boycott a bill they don't like .

Diane Springstead Cole

Stay and prove your point or reach across the aisle and work together for Oregon.

Robert Northrup

Democrats have no intention of working with Republicans. They only need them to make a quorum to validate their vote.

Kristin McKinley

I don't believe walking out is a very responsible way for our State Senators to act. Just because our US Senate is made up of totally irresponsible people doesn't mean our State senators need to copy

Ken Swipies

I do not like cap and trade, however, the Repugnant Party did the walk out in Wisconsin, and all it does is show how irresponsible they are, and what power does to their wee little minds.

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

Jeff Sanders
