Do you want a gas powered car or do what you can to help save the planet?

I get your point, however I do not see a new expensive vehicle any time in my future as I am disabled and am barely able to live!

It should be a persons choice, what if people cant afford another car.

There are toxic materials used to produce the electric vehicles plus maintenance cost is excessive.

Ridiculous. People will just purchase them from the next state over. Do they even make an electric towing vehicle. Not to mention the ending of hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Electric vehicles can't haul horse trailers or hay haulers. Guess I know when to move to Idaho.

While "green" vehicles may seem the cleaner way to go, they are far from "green" to manufacture or dispose of. At the same time, the energy required to change to "green" vehicles isn't "green".

Too many jobs created and depend on energy, gas and oil. The earth wil do what the earth does and we can not stop it. Might slow it down but China, India, etc will not.

Government has always (esp in Calif) pretends to help the poor, but in reality the increase in gas sales tax, property tax,, fees hurts the little guy more and more.

It's the stupidest idea so far. Except voting for Joe Biden.

Uh No! California is depending on solar and wind power and is having to shut off their power grid due to insufficient amount of energy being produced. How are you going to charge your car?

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
