We should all wear masks and take proper safety precautions to stop the spread.

TY Gov Brown. Wearing a mask isn't a political statement, it's an IQ test. The sooner we all wear one, the sooner we get back to normal. BOYCOTTING Sunriver; not a single mask there but COVID is !!!

People should be masking because they're decent human beings but too many still aren't. Unfortunately it has to be enforced. Thank you Governor Brown.

See Edlund

Let's learn from the Northeast, the South, the Southwetst, California...get the idea. Enforce it for our health and to avoid a second lockdown.

Buffie Bear

Please wear a mask it is the right thing to do

Kenneth Lemley

I'm not putting a mask on for you or anyone else you have your mask on I'm not putting one on for you or anyone else not even that Bitch over there in Salem

You bet. Everyone has a responsibility to protect themselves and others. It's a no-brainer. People who feel wearing masks violate their personal freedoms should consider the right to stay alive.

Carol Hopp

Who will die in Deschutes County next? We all have responsibility in protecting our community members. If businesses are to remain open everyone needs to make-up and bring covid 19 cases down. Simple!

Jan Dow

Masks keep a person's breath from infecting other people. This virus can kill people, or permanently damage their health. Wearing a mask shows you care about the health of other people.

Yasap Ta

It is THE ONLY WAY we can get rid of this and back to business and school. Being asked to wear a mask is in no way an infringement on your rights=BS. As a member of society we have responsibilities!

Cathy Jensen

Wearing a mask is a small measure to ask to help protect our community and help ease the impact of the virus.

P Robbins

It's a matter of public safety. How hard is it to wear a mask?

Ann Anderson

It would help slow the virus greatly if everyone wore a mask.

lorri gavitt

Decreases violations

Richard Dillard

People who do not wear mask could be giving other individuals the virus. If it can be traced to them I think they should be charged with manslaughter.

I don't think we should be fined for not wearing a mask. It's up to the individual.

It's my body my choice, if I choose to jump from a plane why should anyone else have a say in it! If we enforce this then why not enforce racial ID bands on everyone's sleeve? We're going backwards :(

Steven Huillet

I believe this would be one more step towards a Police State. Next Communism.

David R Gregory

It's a mandate not a Law!!

Kimmy Wasatch

Brown has again overstepped her authority, shame that she pays no attention to the riots, violence and the mobs in Portland who are out on the streets with no masks and no social distancing.

Nik Myles

I think this goes too far.

Heidi Owen

Uh-NO! Do you think we should all be told what to do in a free country??

Adam Toney

More government overreach. I understand people are scared but it’s not a serious enough plandemic to justify any of this. Swine flu was much worse, SARS was exactly the same with slight differences.

John Digger

Unless you are wearing an N95 and are fit tested to ensure it fits, you're wasting your time. This is all a control tactic. A fine for not wearing something that doesn't work is unamerican.

Kenneth Lemley

I'm not putting a mask on for no one I can't breath with them on I'm on a inhaler all the time and it's not a law so the city of bend can just kiss off and stuff it

Pam W

It is against our Constitution.

Royal Atkinson

Safe guards should only be enforced on those that present symptoms, not the healthy. Numskels politicians need to follow proper medical precautions that have been used and proven in health for decades

Latterdaysaint

Its a mandate not a law

Daniel Wohlford

no to masks and mask-holes

Ric Pruitt

REFUSE

sharder8

If they charge and fine protesters for refusing to social distance or wear masks . . . I might consider supporting this.

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

k san

No, that's too big a generalization. However, those owners should never let their pet off-leash in those areas.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

As much as possible

Sarah Croom

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

Michael Stafford

It is the least we can do to preserve our resources.

Julie Brantley

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

Evey G Quines

Bonita Davis

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

Jill Hoadley Chalk

It's important to reuse as many things as possible.

Ann Wilbanks

Our duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!

Rachel Clara Smith

Of course! Everyone should recycle!

BJ Arey

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.
