Every community experiences a homelessness problem, but often to very unique extents. That's why local councils or government should be responsible for creating the game plan to combat homelessness, versus a state government that's unfamiliar with a city's needs. People can also step up to help ease these problems by their own motivation. Show Less

I really think that both local and state should work together to solve the problem

Tim Griggs

Why dont we leave it up to the lazy people that want to live off the state. Get a damn job. McDonald's is hiring.

Ka San

the "lazy people" - "mcdonalds is hiring comment" - completely ignorant.

sociologists are probably the only people who understand that trying to group them all together is asking for trouble. divide them into small groups and spread them out.

Kevin Crabtree

how can anyone be unemployed in this economy unless you are mentally challenged or Just Plain Lazy and only one of those deserves help

Oftentimes, state lawmakers have the most sweeping control over institutional changes that would help homelessness in several cities. That's the best and fastest way to make a change, in my opinion! Show Less

Trump is a clear danger to Democracy. I don't think MAGA people actually listen to his "speeches"/rambling offensive tirades of many half-truths.. but also easily disproven outright lies. How anyone can support him at this point, is bizarre.

Steven Huillet

I voted for Trump because of his policies. Harris has none, just the same terrible Biden policies.

Michael Bruner

You have no rights to complain unless you vote!

Larry Ewart

A vote for the Democratic Party is a vote for one party rule. I never felt that way until the Biden administration took over and opened the border to allow so many to come across unvetted. I have never understood why it takes 3 to 5 years to get a green card. Makes no sense.

I dont vote. Its just a way for the government to THINK we have a say. They already have it planned out.

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

Joe Ottlinger

It's a huge tax on everyone. No thanks

Andrew Shooks

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.

Steven Huillet

Just another way to ruin Oregon.

David Kline

It's a hand out to the rich who can afford to live here only 200 days out of the year.

Latterdaysaint

Vote no!

steven

And yes. Like Gabe.
