Highschool kids need to at least have something to feel normal, we have been stripped of half the school year and all events last summer. Just one thing. Just one thing is all we want. One night where we can feel normal and have a highschool experience. Just one at least

Seniors were deprived of a graduation last year which I think was foolish. We have gatherings that result in high case counts. So what? Every time you get in an automobile you risk the chance of death or being maimed for life. We still do it don't we?

If it's private, by its very nature, it wouldn't be "policed," meaning there would likely be no distancing or mark-wearing. It's just too risky. It's a shame students cannot enjoy such HS highlights, but it's better to be alive and be able to reflect on it later.

It would be a different story if it was a prom event that was limited and masks were required. Then it would be a safer event. I understand that prom is a major event but so is graduation and we have already lost too many individuals that are no longer alive to experience it.

The guide lines are for a purpose. Central Oregon is close to being under locked down again because of people think theier pleasures are more important than other people's heath or even their lives. I heard them say they would wear mask and social distance. Who do you think they are kidding.

They need to be in school longer...attire is spelled with two, "t's." Their invitation spells it, "atire." Good grief. These are seniors. To have a large gathering is irresponsible. There are 99 new infections in Deschutes County *today.* St. Charles Hospital has 4 ppl on respirators.

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.
