Gov. Kate Brown signed an executive order Friday extending Oregon’s state of emergency to July 6 in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
The move comes roughly two months after the original declaration was signed March 8. It was set to expire May 7.
The new executive order gives the governor the legal authority to maintain the orders she’s issued thus far — including the stay-home order, a moratorium on residential and commercial evictions and other financial stimulus measures — and issue new ones as she sees fit, said Charles Boyle, a spokesman for the governor’s office.
“Extending the state of emergency declaration allows those orders to stay in effect, however the Governor can still lift her orders as the COVID-19 situation warrants, as she did with her order delaying non-urgent medical procedures,” Boyle wrote in an email. “Our efforts to move forward with safely reopening Oregon will be gradual, incremental, and based on science and data.”
The new order extends the state of emergency for 60 days, but also allows Brown to terminate it earlier than that if deemed appropriate.

The zodiac sign for July 6 is Cancer,,,,,,,This Foolish Democrat Governor would change it from Cancer to Corona, proving that the Democrats themselves are to social Cancer.
What science is the governor basing this on. The zodiac as you have stated inluminato.
Heck I had covid and bad just shy of going to the hospital (and glad I didn’t). But you recover and you move on and this is what the governor doesn’t get instead she chose dictatorship. I see Oregon a bit more drastic than NY but basically no different.
No. Sometimes you don’t recover. Two people in my life have died from COVID-19. One in Alabama and one in New Jersey.
Time for all sane Oregonians RECALL THIS GOVERNOR. NOW.
Why don’t they just examine the airspace between the ears of Governor Kate Brown, to see why she is such a stupid idiot?
Even with an electron microscope, nothing but dust will be found.
We need to get together and sit down to figure out how to implement restrictions on the ability of a state to impose a lockdown. They’re shutting down businesses, picking winners and losers, and basically making regular people into prisoners under house arrest. All based on some very weak “science” from a handful of so-called “experts” who have been wrong more often than not.
This should never happen again. We need to set the new rules now.
Here’s an idea. No lockdown can extend for more than 7 days. If a crisis persists longer, then the entire state legislature needs to draft up an all-new proposal, vote on it, and get it signed by the governor to continue another week. No more of this “indefinitely” nonsense. Make them go on record for every week.
IF we get locked down, why shouldn’t THEY ALSO get locked down.!
As long as people will follow these orders like good little girls and boys, it will continue. They will move the CARROT all the way to November 3rd. and perhaps beyond. Trust your intuition people, you know exactly what this out of control bureaucrat is doing. Will you stand or will you go along to get along? Who left her Queen of anything.
You have the Constitution. Use it.
More and more it seems we’re heading to a revolution, as the only way to get rid of these traitors in our midst.
United We Stand, Divided We Fall no longer exist; now it is Divided We Stand, Divided We Fall!! Our Fore Father’s were brilliant!!
This cannot possibly be a state of emergency. The word “emergency” means to come to the surface, so one can be saved or rescued.
There is ZERO evidence the shutdown is saving anyone, let alone the ONLY way of dealing with the virus. In fact, there is good evidence which shows it is not.
This nothing more than a state of totalitarian dictatorship, her way or the highway, one size fits all.
No one is under any legal obligation to obey
“to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men” – THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
What are the rights governments are to SECURE?
“Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”
Are they securing them or denying them?
They are blatantly being destructive of them
“deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,” THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
ARTICLE IV
Sect. 4. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a Republican form of government,
I do not consent and am being denied a government which represents me
President Trump order the immediate arrest of any and all governors who persist in this tyranny, charge them with being enemies of the Republic
I, (state name of enlistee), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
I’ve wrote the same, to the white house..
DOUBT i will get a response though.
I have a suggestion for governor brown, take your executive order and STICK it WAY up where the sun don’t shine and TWIRL, the CONSTITUTION of Oregon AND the USA says GO. POUND. SAND. idiot Governor!
STOP these Democrats politicians from getting a paycheck and watch how fast the Country opens up……as long as these Democrats are getting a paycheck the less they care about your FOOODKING PROBLEM…..
NOT just seise their paychecks, BUT BLOCK THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS TOO!
Democrats on a daily bases do teleconferencing calls to eachother on what more can we do to OPPRESS We the People and FOOOOK with TRUMP.
I’m surprised she didn’t just come out and admit that this “state of emergency” would remain until November 3rd, at 8pm.
MORE and more and more, i would LOVE to have the Infinity gauntlet loaded, in my hands.. SO I COULD JUST SNAP all these traitors to our nation, into piles of protoplasm…
