Liberals have ruined the state of Oregon and California. A republican has no vote in either state presently.

Oregon leadership is neglecting most of the state. Some how the policy's that work in Portland and Salem should work for the whole state. Probably not going to happen, Kate B. is power hungry.

We need to do something to get our children out of Oregon teachers union, away form Kate Brown, and Portland in general! Our tax dollars are funding Antifa and the political conditioning of our kids.

Not likely to happen, but yeah. The libs are ruining this state just like CA has been ruined. Too dumb to see it. They move in, ruin the state, then have the gall to tell us to leave.

There are more republicans in California than you know and we are just as fed up with liberals as you are. Not all relocators want to bring their ideas to Oregon they are trying to flee the liberals.

The liberal big city nut bags can ruin their own homes. Let the rural communities run the rural areas.

The leftist extremists in Portland have made life difficult for conservative Oregonians. This may be the answer for Oregon Conservatives.

Maybe the map should reflect California where they have Oregon and Oregon where they have Idaho... (Redmond would be in Oregon, Bend would be in California)

The representatives of Oregon have nearly nothing in common with Eastern and Southern Oregoners and hardly consider anything other than large city agendas. Little to no representation for them.

Such a dumb idea! And, of course, it devolved into politics. OR is a liberal state, overall. Don't like it, move to ID.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.. Why the heck should we split up our beautiful state? We just celebrated another anniversary.. The guy from Lapine who suggested it. Hey can move to Idaho.

It would be too much of a tax burden for the small area left.

It is misguided. Idaho used to be part of Oregon...the Oregon Territory, so if we change anything we should absorb Idaho back into Oregon. Plus, Idaho is a hotbed of ultra right wing politics.

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.
