  "I would like to know what in the world our governor is thinking. Where in the world she pulls an arbitrary number out of the air that's not based on science or fact," Risley said. "Our Capitol building in Salem that had 60 legislators last week has 234,000 square feet, so she's not even following her own mandates with six people max per building. Why that arbitrary number, I have no idea. "The science has shown us that outdoor activities are safer than indoor activities when it comes to the spread of COVID 19, which is why we have clearly delineated guidance between indoor and outdoor activities," said Governor Brown. 

  The newest member of the Curry County Board of Commissioners started the job Jan. 4 and has had four meetings that ran more than 20 hours combined. I have always thought that meetings should have a time limit.  He said being a commissioner is his only job, and he plans to work full-time to help Curry County excel. Right now, that means working with Boice and Paasch and coming in every day ready to cooperate. “I love them both,” he said of his fellow commissioners. “They are both professing Christians, so that’s part of it. We don’t have to agree on everything all the time, but we do have to get along.”
