Of course they should. Crime has gotten out of control in this country. Anyone that commits any type of crime and is not warranted should be airlifted to shark or alligator infected waters and dropped from a helicopter. That will solve the problem really fast. Guaranteed.

Crime in these areas are lower than Trump is saying. He is trying to be a dictator!

Jeffrey S

It's the slow rolling coup. Another step toward autocrasy. Our republic is dying.

Jody Floor

It is the NATIONAL Guard, not the police. We do not need military forces in our city and Trump is overstepping.

Max

The National Guard protects the nation when local law enforcement can't or won't.

Chris Macy

Absolutely not!

Fred

This isn't a fascist state ... at least not yet.

Prices at the grocery store and elsewhere remain high, pinching household budgets.

Saying inflation is getting lower is like saying that government is getting less corrupt. LOL

Max DeYoung

No matter what MSM says, I will use my open eyes, and common sense to determine items of this nature. Inflation will not get better until we have a different leader for our country. The last four years have been horrible for America, and our allies.

Fat Guy Outdoors

My bills have done nothing but increase and nest eggs have decreased.

Max DeYoung

Fat Guy! Kamala says that's not inflation, It's Bidenomics. Now, do you feel the Joy? I haven't felt their Joy for the last four years, Pain, I have felt their Pain!

Steven Head

The damage is done. Even if it went to zero, prices are still 20-30% higher since 2021.

Zaos Gonzolez

Its getting worse.

Belinda Kitchen

Just look at the prices at the store. That should be enough to tell you that nothing has changed and won't till Harris and Biden gets out of there . Trump will lower everything. Trump has done more for the Hurricane victims then Biden and Harris has.

Renee

What has he done? I haven't seen him do anything, but spread lies and run his mouth.

Latterdaysaint

It’s getting higher, but under trump it will go away

yeah because you could die from corona

k san

Absolutely! Coming from states where you do pump your own, it is definitely faster. At places like Fred Meyer that serve many people, attendants don’t always get to the people who got there 1st. Arg!

Mike Aronow

Yes, but, I wish they all had those clips that allowed you to start fueling and then hang out in your car until the tank was full. Some still do, but, I feel like they're increasingly rare.

sharder8

Nothing like waiting for the employee to finally get to refueling your car and then waiting again for the employee to hang up the hose. Having said that, I do use full service when in medically need.

Gina Ricketts

Because I can get in and out quick and don't have to wait in line for gas station employees who are the slowest individuals in the free universe lol!

Doug Paris

Because I'm not lazy and I am not incompetent-it is faster and in tune with the vast majority of the other 49 states-can't believe Oregon is still living in the dark ages-MG what is wrong with you pep

Keith Uht

48. New Jersey is like Oregon.

Ka San

Yes, absolutely!!! I've only lived in Bend for 3 years, and I find it slow and inconvenient. Even in bad weather, I'd rather not wait for an attendant.

Len Parsons

And the price for self service needs to be less than full service

Diane Springstead Cole

Growing up in Ohio I've pumped gas for years. I never minded it.

Susan Keith

It is better for the environment as the nozzle does not remain in the tank with fumes escaping until the attendant is able to return to your vehicle.

GT Thomas

You do not have to but it should be your choice.

Steven Huillet

Gas prices would be cheaper for one thing and service would be much faster!

Adam Hollman

Let station owners decide how to serve their customers and then consumers can choose where to buy. I prefer to just take care of it myself rather than wait until the attendant gets around to me.

55%

No, don't want to.

I'd rather not deal with the pump. Plus I don't want to take a job away from someone who could have been an attendant.

I don't want to take jobs away from anyone. That is why I won't use the self serve in Walmart either.

Patricia Morris

Came from a state where you had to pump my own gas and it is not easy to do in your 80’s

Nik Myles

This is a job killer bill

champagne dog

Why would I want to pump gas. I love full service gas stations and often tip the attendants. Self service gas pumps equals loss of jobs and inconvenience for customers. Please Oregon, stay unique.

Karen Schwecke Bates

i just had back surgery - definitely not pumping my own gas. Plus, we travel in between Washington and California - I love the fact that we can come back to Oregon and not have to get out of the car

Lida Vitt

Because it's quite clear that they have not been able to control the violence! They/Dems have allowed this by being a sanctuary city. That harbor criminals that harm their own US citizens, and police.

Christena

It creates jobs, it's convenient. I don't really care either way but it's nice.

Danni

I'm old, disabled, and way too stupid to figure out how it works. Do you think women all dressed up for a date want to arrive smelling of gasoline?

Leslie Ann

I've poor health and greatly appreciate those who work hard and pump my gas. They need jobs too.

Rod Blower

We have voted on this many times, and it has always been bnb 9ted down

Toni Ayers

Why is everyone in such a hurry? Waste too much time on social media perhaps?

Linda Starr Williams

NO NO AND HELL NO!!!!

Kathryn Kinney Evans

Just not a good idea all around.

Linda Nolin

I have never had so much trouble getting gas as when I went on a trip to Az. last year. Can't use cash and couldn't get the gas to start because every pump is different. Had to get help several times.

Robert Northrup

The excuse that pumping gas is dangerous is ridiculous. Millions of people pump gas everyday without injury to themselves, others or their vehicle. It is worth it to me to pay for the service.

Gary Hatherill

I don't mind, either way. But didn't I hear the law says the price has to stay the same?

Erica Crossan

Because I don't want to smell like gas or get out in the weather. I also don't want to go inside if I pay with cash

Judy Fisher

Self-pumping gas in Oregon would eliminate those jobs for people who currently do this service.

Nancy Cook

I think safety and security are both issues. A hired attendant is a safer option, especially for women in a car alone.

Leota Evans

Because I like having my gas pumped.. I've never pumped my gas in Oregon... native Oregonian.. More jobs for Oregon... We don't need people being in a hurry pumping there own gas...slow down

Loni Jewell

The amount of jobs that would be lost seems would be a blow to a part of the community that already struggles to afford the cost of living in our area. Job elimination for convenience, no way!
