We need to get rid of the Kicker all together and use it to fund state programs.

Why should my kicker pay off yet another government debt! No one pays off my debts but me.

Besides the fact, don't they get money from our lottery and from taxes on Marjuana sales which I have read is in the millions of $$. Our State Government is demanding to much money. Where is it going?

It was voted in to keep the government from grabbing every dollar they can. Do the job with what you get.

Yeah, right! Arn't we all are so forgiving for giving our hard earned money away to the community chest to squander and pad the pockets of politicos that think we're not looking. I see you!!!!

I agree with the other posters. That's my money. Why should it be appropriated to pay for state programs without my consent.

Another reason to vote Republican. Dem's always want to raise our taxes. It's our money to be given back to us.

Damn "PROGRESSIVE"? Democrats never have enough $s, but always promise more than can be funded without debt.

Oregon Democrats want nothing but more money. Need to fix their screw ups without demanding more money. They don't spend our money wisely in the first place. La Pine Overpass GREAT Example $15 Million

We voted for the rebate. Frigging California people that have moved to Oregon need to go back.

What are they doing with the marijuana money? Do they have to take ours? NO - and I’ll vote against anyone who approves this!

That my money. Kate Brown has taken enough of our money in Central Oregon for her pet projects in Portland and the I-5 corrador. She doesn't care about us over here east of the cascades.

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.
