People representing 63% of Oregon's land mass could be living in Idaho if they had their way, without moving. Many in the other 37% of Oregon would not stand in their way. Thankfully people of good sense and goodwill do not flippantly think this way. Where do you think bunches and bunches of kids from those counties go to college? Losing those counties would be devastating to OSU. |

As the Glove says: ’Oh really? Where’s your backing of your statement of fact?’ Always strange when ‘fans’ on OSU boards slur construction contractors. I would guess the majority of construction contractors in the state of Oregon are OSU grads. Go after the architects, they’re probably ducks. The gentleman doth protest too much methinks. I’m not a contractor or in the construction business, I’m just not an idiot. |

I live in one of the 63% counties and did a two year sentence in Pocatello while my wife was in grad school during the early 90's. Rural Oregon has a big separation from Portland, Salem, Eugene. Eventually Boise may be like those cities. Idaho is ok but I prefer Oregon. We got salmon fishing and Beavs home games! |

Where do you think bunches and bunches of kids from those counties go to college? Losing those counties would be devastating to OSU. The "Greater Idaho" movement consists of Baker, Grant, Harney, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Union, Wallowa and Wheeler counties. Here is the county-by-county enrollment for spring, 2023, with GO counties bolded: Baker 23
Benton 1251 Clackamas 2035 Clatsop 121 Columbia 152 Coos 148 Crook 41 Curry 45 Deschutes 921 Douglas 234 Gilliam 10 Grant 7
Harney 12
Hood River 141 Jackson 530 Jefferson 48
Josephine 159 Klamath 137
Lake 27Lane 1267 Lincoln 176 Linn 642 Malheur 63
Marion 1215 Morrow 30
Multnomah 2178 Polk 436 Sherman 6
Tillamook 84 Umatilla 137 Union 47
Wallowa 13
Wasco 70 Washington 3194 Wheeler 1
Yamhill 345 Total of 385 students. Not all would leave OSU, as not everyone thinks like their parents. Of course I don't want these counties leaving Oregon, and I'm not even all that sure Idaho wants them. But the impact on OSU would not be that significant. I'm assuming Klamath Couty's numbers are so much higher that the other rural counties because there are a lot of kids from Oregon Tech employees there and children of college grads/employees generally go to college at a high rate. |

Every major metro is in population decline. Remote work means people don't have to live in high cost cities for work. It has nothing to do with ideology. |

I'm assuming Klamath Couty's numbers are so much higher that the other rural counties because there are a lot of kids from Oregon Tech employees there and children of college grads/employees generally go to college at a high rate. I believe that Crook, Gilliam, and Umatilla may still join. Idaho would be a bunch of nimrods to not desperately want Gilliam, Morrow, Sherman, and Umatilla. And the rest of Oregon would be a bunch of Class A morons to not do everything possible to keep those four counties. I bet Sherman and Umatilla alone produce more power than the entire State of Idaho combined. Sherman County is the fourth-richest county in the State of Oregon and Gilliam is fifth per capita (excluding capital gains). Morrow is eighth. And Umatilla is 18th. If I am Idaho and I am forward thinking and considering things that actually matter, like energy and food production and water, I take Baker, Gilliam, Grant, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, and Wheeler. And then I laugh and I laugh and I laugh that the rest of Oregon did not do more to keep those 10 counties in the State. Baker and Grant Counties also have the two largest gold mines in Oregon and the biggest silver mine. Malheur County is supposed to have a ton of gold and uranium, but it is difficult and expensive to mine there under current Oregon law. The other counties may create more problems than they are worth, although there is supposedly a lot of uranium and untapped geothermal in Lake County, as well. |

Going to be a crazy one. Anything on borders is typically quite a mess. Upsides are its not in a national or state forest. |

The McDermitt Caldera was the site of the last mercury mine in the United States, but it closed in 1992. There is lithium, mercury, opals, and uranium concentrated in the area. The McDermitt Caldera is one of the sites of a large eruption (although it is noticeably smaller than at least six of the eruptions that followed) that occurred approximately 16.1+ million years ago of what is now known as the Yellowstone Hotspot. The Yellowstone Hotspot has trekked and continues trek ENE underneath the North American Plate to its current location. |

Nothing in those about the total lack of a correlation with ideology. |
