Do you agree with the decision to close outdoor parks completely?

Yes, it's smart

No, it's too far

Might as well go full-throttle on enforcing social distancing until we can kick this thing and go back to normal.

If we all stay locked up our immune systems will plummet. I believe we should always take precaution but also not live in fear.

If you don’t want to get infected, stay away from the parks. If you don’t care or don’t think it’s a problem go right ahead and enjoy those parks. It’s not the government’s job to close the parks

Getting outside is important for people’s mental and physical well being as well as immunity boosting. Terrible idea to close trails,etc. where it is very easy to keep a safe distance from others!

It seems like parks, hiking, and camping is the very definition of social distancing. Getting outdoors is the best thing we can do for ourselves right now

Outside, fresh air, easy to keep social distance sounds like a good way not to go stir crazy.

I live in NWX and at Discovery Park, people mainly do their walks or walk dogs and maintain social distance or sit on the lawn and sun away from others. I've seen no social gathering, so it's good.

It's ridiculous. You don't go to a park to rub shoulders with others, you go to get out and get some fresh air. This whole thing is becoming an exercise in finding out how much control they can have.

I’m assuming that social distancing would be respected, so how better to get out of the house and use up some energy. Must have social distancing though. Move aside on a trail, etc.

Keep your distance. Its outdoors. Healthy... nothing better than getting fresh air and excercise.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
