I believe this is a tax scheme to provide funds for the state retirement. It will come fromf the pockets of working people. Any tax increase directly or indirectly should go to voters/tax payers.

I think that all important bills should be sent to the voters. It is obvious that our elected officials are not doing the job we hired them to do.

The voters have a right to decide any new taxes. This is a new tax.

A law so far reaching and controversial is definitely a subject that should be addressed by the people it would affect. There are too many lawmakers who do not understand the consequences they inflict

Letting the voters decide seems like a fair way to handle some issues. The problem is the losers of the vote whine about losing and claim the winners don't represent them. Democracy in action.

Of course! We the people! The dems know it won't pass so they throw these so called "emergency clauses" in so they can bypass us. It's bewildering that people still vote democrat. Tax and spend.

This is getting ridiculous with the Republicans leaving their jobs and still getting paid. Shame on them! Let the voters decide for sure!

Obviously the Oregon Democrats don't want to involve the people of Oregon in the decision because their Cap and Tax scheme would lose by a landslide. It's all about money and not the environment.

Yes. Oregonians want something to be done to help curtail the effects of climate change. Big polluters like Georgia Pacific need to be responsible (and not feed voters misinformation before!).

Most voters don't bother to find out the truth about science and have no business voting on such crucial legislation. Most Rs don't even believe in climate change, so why should they vote on it?

Pure liberal BS. Liberals are afraid to let voters decide.

We elect people to represent us. We don't need a legislature who passes their responsibilities to the voters who don't have the information to make an informed decision. Walking out solves nothing.

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!

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.
