If you're already vaccinated, you shouldn't need to wear a mask. We are protected, they are elongating this!

Follow the science turned into follow the political science.

I'm vaccinated...the CDC and Pres Biden lifted mask mandate for vaccinated ppl 2 months ago...and the Gov in Salem said she would follow CDC guidance then went back on her word. IF YOU ARE VACCINATED YOU DO NOT NEED A Fing MASK!

Kristina Biederman

It's time to move beyond fear and resume living. Those whom desired to be vaccinated are, and those who declined are often the ones who would have taken masks off long ago. It's time to breathe fresh air, hug our loved ones, and experience genuine smiles and facial expressions once again.

Scott Albert

Useless!!!

Judy Ostrom-Dixon

yep...done caring about dumb people...get vaccinated or reap what you sow!

Christena

Never needed them for healthy people to start.

Sandy Storrie

It is a false sense of security and people toss them on the ground

Rick Allen

TOTALLY, ABSOLUTELY, 102% sure!!!!!!!!

Teresa Parsons

Many have already been going maskless for weeks now.

Tarasem

M'eh. Whatever, I haven't been wearing one for a few weeks now. Wear them or not, I don't care.

Sussie Due

My sister was forced to wear one at work. She now has high blood pressure and breathing issues. NO she did NOT gain weight. This was confirmed by her Doctor to be due to having to wear a mask for upwards of 16 hours a day. I dont know if the damage can be undone but here is hoping she can recover.

Judy Ostrom-Dixon

surprised all nurses and doctors are not having these issues!

Dave Owens

Masks did not stop spread.

Robert Northrup

Unless you have a cough or sneezing the masks are useless. A study by a CA university said they were useless and could even cause premature death.

Gabe West

They should have been gone along time ago, Texas ended the mask mandate and they haven't had a single infection

I feel we need to reach our goal of 70% before we can fully take our masks off.

It's a small thing to keep us all safe a little while longer

Foster Fell

I am still masking and social distancing, because the virus that causes Covid-19 "needs to be gone." The new more transmissible and more deadly Delta variant will soon be the predominant virus; masking sends a signal that there are many of us still susceptible to getting sick,

Sheri Clarke

Because there are still people who don't think there was enough research!

Susan Brock

Just too soon. Better safe than sorry. What about the stronger one coming?

Diane Springstead Cole

I am afraid for our children in Deschutes County. They can't get the vaccine yet. I pray the new variant strain doesn't hit us. If so, we're going to see many more deaths.

Biden needs to open the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Paul Owen

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.

Gabe West

Biden needs to resume oil exploration and open the keystone pipeline

Greg Moore

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.

Nik Myles

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.

Steven Huillet

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

Gabe West

Bide the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Greg Moore

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

Loretta Jones

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

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

David Tucker

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.

Greg Moore

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

Ben Hargis

Don't waste the reserves......open the keyst one pipeline, increase production and exploration in the West

John Philo

OPEN THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE!

Gabe West

Amen

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

Rob Mozz

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.

Sussie Due

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!

k san

Why not???

Ben Hargis

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

Robert Northrup

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.

Gabe West

Good idea!
