This is from a link in the recent Oregon Democrat newsletter. These are accomplishments to be proud of, and did not happen without a lot of hard work on the part of our legislators. Let them know that you appreciate their efforts. Or better yet, come celebrate with us at the Annual Picnic!

Oregon Legislature Adjourns Sine Die

SALEM –The Oregon Senate and House adjourned sine die this afternoon, concluding the regular session of the 74th Legislative Assembly. The session, which began on January 8th, lasted 172 days, making it the shortest session since 1995. By adjourning today, the legislature will save Oregon taxpayers an estimated $998,000 in operating costs over the last legislative session.

Session highlights include a strong commitment to education, health care, consumer protection, landmark family equality legislation, updates to Oregon ’s Bottle Bill, a Rainy Day Fund, and the Clean-Indoor Air Act.

“The general session has ended, but the hard work continues” said Senate President Peter Courtney (D-Salem/Gervais/Woodburn). “We are on a historic march. We accomplished a lot this session, but the next several months will be critical as we prepare for our great experiment in February.”

“Members of the House stepped up to pass great legislation on behalf of the people of this state,” said House Speaker Jeff Merkley (D-Portland). “But our toughest challenge, and the one we will continue to pursue, is restoring Oregonians’ faith and trust in their legislature. We took significant strides in that direction, but there is more work to be done.”
