YES but I threw them away a long time ago, these mandates were all wrong from the beginning! Horrible communistic, socialist injustice! Long term mask wearing weakens your immune system. The shutdowns hurt Us far worse than the virus itself! I never got it! My 84 year old mother did but NO symptoms!

Haven't been wearing a mask for months. I actually follow the science.

The only reason I wore one was to keep my friends and neighbors from having their businesses shut down.

Oregon had some of the best stats for covid because of the mask mandate and it's not over yet. People will screw it up.

After I go into a place that has them for you when you walk in, I just put them back into the box that I got them out of for the next person.

Never! As we have learned, pandemics are easier to start now, So I will definitely keep the many masks I have.... cloth, blue hospital, duck-face... all of them!!

We may need them again. Also, it is smart to wear them in the flu season. Look at how much less flu we had during the pandemic. Also, the mask is not the only safeguard. We were (supposedly) washing our hands more, keeping a safe distance from others and staying away from others while sick.

Good masks are still recommend, just not required in most situations. I work in healthcare and we are still required. Why take unnecessary chances? Do you drive at night with your lights off?

I'm keeping the good ones for dust masks, if nothing else. The cloth ones I've already discarded.

No Based on the fact that Brown has proven she can't be trusted about dropping mask mandates. I expect her to reinstate it just to get her name back in the news. I hope I am wrong.

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
