The security guard that greeted me and went through my bag to check for weapons was very professional. When I was called to the window, the man assisting me was curt to the point of putting me on the defensive. He worded his questions in a way that made me feel like a criminal on trial. And when he was done he simply said, "that's all." And I felt dismissed. The process itself was not bad. But this clerk could have had a more pleasant personality. He could have smiled, greeted me kindly or even looked at me at some point during the process. He stared at his computer and wouldn't make eye contact with me. At one point he worded a question by saying, "if any of this info you have given is false, then you have committed perjury." I just felt like I was on trial.This is the only reason I did not give 5stars.

I had to drive all the way home and back, only for them to tell me I still needed more paperwork. Their attitude was extremely rude, and they basically told me it wasn't their problem, forcing me to make another appointment. Looks like they're paying us to work there.

I don't know why the DOT won't clean up the mess that's on their property or trespass the squatters. These areas are full of trash. The river is coming up; it will all end up in the river. Many of the "camps" that exist in these areas are made with materials that are clearly stolen. I've seen signs from local businesses used as walls. There's always shopping carts; those have to be stolen from stores. There's piles and piles of bike frames and bike wheels. I wonder where those come from? If I camp legally on the National Forest that my taxes fund, I have a limit of how long I can stay. Apparently I can squat on DOT property, throw my garbage in the river, and shit on the ground and it's all OK. I really don't know why the Oregon DEQ doesn't fine the DOT for allowing pollution to enter the river from DOT property. I know they regulate cities for things that flow out of storm drains even when the city isn't the entity putting things in the drains. Our towns are becoming garbage dumps.

As a small business owner, theft has been on the rise since 2020 and we were starting to feel helpless. We have leaned in to our resources, and I've been so happy for your hard work.

Your Deputies have also spent time educating my employees, and myself, about our rights as a small business and empowered us to stand up against this theft.

It's the oldest structure on the Mall, and looks great for its age. The experience did not disappoint! After going through security, I approached the beautiful staircase. Hanging glass sculptures of feathers went up each side, leading to glass wings on the third landing. I peeked into the law library and that's when the education began. Emily, the Lawyer/Librarian who gave me a most excellent behind the scenes tour, made it quite memorable. From the architecture to an intricately carved donated wooden chest, to the women and men making a difference in Oregon's politics, I learned so much. Seeing the handwritten notes inside the Courtroom drawers was a highlight. This visit absolutely made up for missing the tower tour at the Capital Building. I can go back when construction is finished.
