The Govenor needs to listen to the People and stop making this state another California.

Cap and trade is a hidden tax and will not accomplish reduced pollution.

The lunatics are running the asylum in Salem. This is the only option Republicans have to stop this incredibly stupid bill that will have no effect on the climate and will financially ruin Oregon.

They are doing what they can to speak for their constituents because Kate Brown doesn’t listen or (presumably) care.

Governor, it's Government By The People For The People. Let the people of Oregon vote on your Cap & Trade.

A better question is, why are the Dems not allowing this vote to go to the people? This is NOT an emergency. Good for the Republicans for bringing this to everyone's attention!

This bill is an extreme assault on our rights. It will do not one damn thing to help the climate. It is nothing but another money grab that effects rural communities, the middle class.

I believe Brown is destroying the Oregon Democrat Party. I also refuse to call them the Democratic Party.

Democrats have no intention of working with Republicans. They only need them to make a quorum to validate their vote.

I don't believe walking out is a very responsible way for our State Senators to act. Just because our US Senate is made up of totally irresponsible people doesn't mean our State senators need to copy

I do not like cap and trade, however, the Repugnant Party did the walk out in Wisconsin, and all it does is show how irresponsible they are, and what power does to their wee little minds.

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
