I think there is a need for businesses to fully reopen. As long as they follow the basic covid-19 guidelines they should be able to reopen along with schools.

Oregon Constitution grants impartiality among all businesses. You either close ALL of them or you open ALL of them

Kim Oden

Yes, as long as they can do it safely. It's past time.

Amber Chan

To save the economy ...small businesses can't last much longer if they remain closed.

Kristin Grace

Many businesses are suffering. Many people are loosing their life accomplishments and savings. Children are suffering mentally and physically. Government should not be acting in a parental role making things mandatory, enough is enough.

Paige Tosello

COVID numbers are not correlated to indoor dining, this is causing an unnecessary hardship for businesses who follow social distancing protocols.

Gabe West

They should be able to stay open using precautions

Chloe Stills

So that we don't have more businesses closing permanently.

YES!! With an adjusted occupancy rate ALL businesses including gyms and sport facilities such as tennis, pickleball... as long as it isn't a contact sport should be able to OPEN UP!! The spread is coming for family gatherings and the under 30 crowd being irresponsible!!

Nik Myles

These lock downs do nothing but hurt Americans

Robert Northrup

Why not? Trump is gone. No reason now to destroy our economy. It is to late however too much damage has been done to recover. I anticipate a downward spiral into a black hole because democrats don't want a thriving economy.

You spend less time at a restaurant than students do in a classroom.

Christena

OMG YES- reopen as regular. Figure something else out.

Liz Mullin

It's only hurting our economy to remain closed. I've continued to work throughout this shutdown but many businesses have closed their doors for good. What has being closed really accomplished? Nothing because we were closed and the numbers still climbed. If people are afraid then stay home!

Rick Allen

Yes obviously, and most definitely, the business shut downs are hurting more people than the virus. Big stores are open, why destroy the small business especially the restaurants! Less than 1.4 % has come from restaurants. This is from Democrat's that love control ! We must bet Brown out of office

No, we have to follow the guidelines.

I think we need to follow the guidelines that have been set. I am still wary of having businesses fully reopened when the pandemic is still going on.

Unfortunately no. I do miss them and understand the frustration but let's take it slow.

Jeff Howerton

We are not through with this. Too many people are still getting sick!

Larry Yeargan

We need to trust the science. The federal government needs to develop a comprehensive program to defeat the pandemic which would include assistance to restaurants and gyms, since the states don't have the money to aid these important businesses.

Jan Dow

Covid can spread too easily in restaurants and gyms. With the new mutations of the virus being way more contagious, we can't take chances. Way more people can catch the new variant, have no symptoms, but be very contagious.

Gabe West

Using precautions we they should be able to stay open

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!

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.
