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.

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.

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!

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.

There are a lot of self-righteous "patriots" screaming about law and order. But, it's different if if its a law they don't like. Too bad, so sad, love dad.

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!

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

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.

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 :(

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!
