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.
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
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

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.

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.

Needed anyplace along the parkway where there's a crosswalk.
ReplyThey are building them for wildlife along Hwy 97. It's only right for them to build them for the safety of pedestrians as well.
ReplyPinebrook - Across from Walmart
ReplyBend Parkway should have undercrossings or foot bridges so that people don't have to cross the parkway where people are driving 65+.
ReplySW Century Drive (between the Wash. roundabout & Welcome Center) to be able to cross haul trail, rimrock trail and neighborhoods more frequently. Traffic is increasing so additional crossing points are vital to keep bikers and walkers on the paths that protect them from cars.
ReplyBend parkway should have under crossings
ReplyBetter than exposing pedestrians and slowing down traffic with crosswalks that aren't at intersections.
ReplyThere are several places in Bend this would be useful. Not sure if there is a place for one near Shepherd's House, where there are constantly people running or riding across the road. This would also be safer on the Parkway, where there are flashing lights and crosswalks.
ReplyYes and no, there are lots of places to safely cross but so many people chose not to use them. There are other areas of town that could really benifit from safer crossing.
