Agree with previous comment. Just because people are "non-citizens," doesn't mean they are illegals. They may be here on a work visa and should be able to legally drive.

Non-citizens does not mean those that entered illegally. People here on legal work visas should be able to get a license. Not those who are her by sneaking across the border.

If they can prove that they understand the rules and regulations, they can get a 30 day permit, and will need to be renewed after that time.

Driving is a privilage granted to law abiding citizens. It is not a right everyone is entitled to. In addition, citizens pay taxes for maintaining roads.

It is rediculous that a non citizen should be given any rights. Rights are for citizens who have done the work & deserve them.

We voted this down in 2013 by a large margin. The legislature must think we're stupid, to keep bringing this up. The only reason they want it, is because it makes it easier for them to vote illegal

None citizens without a GREEN CARD, NO; if they have one they are permanent residents & should get driver license. Many illegals don't carry insurance, and in an accident the victims, us, suffer

In Oregon this is how you register to vote. Non-Citizens should not be voting in Oregon or any other state.

First line in the drivers handbook says that driving is a privilege not a right and at anytime that privilege can be revoked if you fail to follow the laws of the road. Illegals can take the bus!

If the individual is illegally in this country they should not have a valid license. They should not be here or driving here. Not paying taxes = no privileges = illegal

No, They have already broken the law! Our state registers every person over the age of 18 to vote up on being issued a driver's license and this could lead to a gateway of illegal voting!

Legal non-citizens, and there are many, should be able to get a license. Illegal immigrants should not. There is a big difference.

Legal citizens have to show 5 pieces of ID to renew their license. I witnessed two to four times per day illegals running stop signs along highway 97 and feather road in Crook and Jefferson counties.

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!
