Oregon Gov. Decrees Residents in Closed Counties Cannot Shop in Open Counties
This BITCH needs to go down
[PJ] Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D-Portland) said that residents of counties that have yet to reopen may not travel to open counties to get haircuts or dine in restaurants.

In an article that highlighted the confusing and often contradictory nature of Brown’s lockdown orders due to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, The Oregonian reported:

Can I leave the Portland area to get a haircut in another county or visit the beach?

The governor said Thursday the answer is no, although it doesn’t appear she plans to enforce that.

Brown asked Portland-area residents to hold tight and resist the urge to drive to another county to get a haircut, dine out at a restaurant or visit a tourist sites.

"I know this is really hard," Brown said. "I know many of us are really wanting to get our hair done, get our haircut, whatever you need to do, but we are asking folks in the metro area to be thoughtful of their fellow Oregonians and to stay home and limit their travel to essential need. ... We obviously don’t want to overwhelm the rest of Oregon by traveling outside the metro area."

Brown also said police won’t be stopping Portlanders who are heading out for a visit to the coast, but she asked that metro area residents respect her direction, which is meant to lessen the spread of COVID-19.

Of course, Brown’s lockdown orders have confused Oregonians since they began. It turns out that many retail outlets shut down when they didn’t have to do so.

As we approach the tail end of the pandemic, and as Oregon has consistently ranked in the bottom five states in terms of infections and deaths, Brown’s scattershot approach to the virus has raised more questions than answers.

#2 ^ No, it's a thing with all democrat governors regardless of sex. As a group, they don't seem to be very bright.

#4 When they switched American History to an half an hour of hate in our education system, they didn't have any use to have the kids exposed the actual document known as the Declaration of Independence. Meanwhile they sort of skip over their own behaviors, like the Reichstag Fire and the Enabling Act. The Left will always be the Left. See - the frog and the scorpion.

#5 Can't restrict movement like that. Very unconstitutional.

These tyrant wannabes are gonna end up bleeding from multiple holes in their meat suit at this rate.

#6 Mass civil disobedience is the cure. Virginia Beach over the weekend had tens of thousands defy the Governor and he was forced to just opt for radio silence to avoid highlighting the obvious meaning of the massive Foxtrot Uniform.

How about Californians? I am in need of a haircut and fearful of letting Mrs. Uluque do it.

#8 OTOH, I think that it's the most left-wing counties that are the most restricted, and it is they who will suffer the most.

So there is a bright side.
