‘Lives depend on it’: Community urges Portland to mitigate Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub risks More than 80 community organizations called on the City of Portland to address and mitigate the risks from the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub. 

I was proud to join the CEI Task Force to call on the City and State to decentralize Oregon's fuel storage and keep our entire state safe in the event of a disaster. We've made progress, passing HB 4100 this session, but we can't risk waiting any longer. #orpol #orleg

Personally I'm calling on my local lawmakers in #ORleg #ORpol to push for more #Housing funds. Lets take $50B from #ICE and house the #homeless!

Boy, would sure have been nice if #ORLeg would have invested in more alternatives to driving.

Or at the very least, NOT cut transit service across the state??

Fragala: PeaceHealth’s emergency department decision is ‘a disaster for our community’ A state lawmaker said PeaceHealth's decision to farm emergency care staffing to an out-of-state corporation is a "disaster."

Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved limiting money in politics. Then politicians had their say • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon’s Democratic-controlled Legislature approved a bill that supporters described as containing little more than technical fixes to what they’d written two years ago.

Phil Keisling, a former secretary of state who advocated for campaign contribution caps only to see them overturned in court, described the #orleg track record on campaign finance as “one of the most profound public policy failures” in Oregon’s recent history.

This is sad news. We need more housing solutions not less. #Gresham #Homeless #Houseless #Housing #FamilyHousing #ORleg #ORpol

The rest of the project — improving the rest of the 5-mile corridor surrounding the bridge and extending light rail as far as Evergreen Boulevard in Vancouver — could stretch out another decade after the bridge opens, depending on funding.

2/2 That means that this social media account is going to "go dark" until after the primary election on May 19. If you'd like ay updates between now and then, feel free to follow my other accounts! #ORleg #ORpol

1/2 To maintain a firewall between official activity and campaign activity, state elected officials in Oregon are not allowed to use most of our legislative communications channels for the period 60 days before the May Primary and the November General Election. #ORleg #ORpol

It’s imperative that policymakers in both states continue to push back against an oversized, bloated project and demand that ODOT propose and deliver a right-sized bridge with a right-sized budget that doesn’t bankrupt our state. #orpol #orleg

3/3 In just five weeks, we passed legislation that delivered on every single one of those goals. I’m incredibly proud of the work we did to make Oregon stronger. Read more about our work in my most recent newsletter! #ORleg #ORpol buff.ly/v9NcNUA

2/3 We approached the session with 3 major goals: to make Oregon more affordable, with good jobs & thriving businesses; to insulate against Trump admin overreaches; and to rebalance our state budget after the federal budget bill (HR 1) cut our state's resources. #ORleg #ORpol

1/3 Before the session began, we laid out an agenda that was extremely ambitious for a short session. I’m pleased to say that we accomplished what we set out to do and more—far more than many thought possible at the beginning of February. #ORleg #ORpol buff.ly/v9NcNUA

‘It’s Just Crazy’: High Car Payments Make Ownership Feel Impossible Rising vehicle prices, auto loan interest rates, and insurance and maintenance costs are making it harder for people to buy or keep cars.

If Oregon policymakers are serious about addressing cost-of-living concerns and ensuring Oregon is an affordable place for all to live, we simply must invest a transportation system that provides alternatives to car dependency. #orleg https://loom.ly/NEcn57E

Legislature passes Fosse bill to address child care workforce shortage  – Mary Fosse

Wow, the Washington legislature keeps hitting it out of the park! First a millionaire's tax. Now a #WorkforceStandardsBoard for child care workers! This is exactly the kind of policy we need to improve pay and working conditions in low-wage sectors

Let's hope the #ORleg is paying attention! 👀

2/2 HB 4107 helps fix one part of this much larger problem. Clear expectations for urgent care means people will get to the right place for care faster, take pressure off hospital ERs, & give Lane Co families more reliable options when they need care fast, but it’s not an emergency. #ORleg #ORpol

Oregon House passes bill to set standards for urgent care clinics As wait times in emergency rooms increase, lawmakers want urgent care clinics to meet minimum standards for reliable care.

1/2 Many Lane County residents are struggling to access health care — there aren’t enough primary care providers to meet demand, PeaceHealh closed our Eugene hospital, and now PeaceHealth is making big, concerning changes to how they run their ER. #ORleg #ORpol

I’m glad to see that there is pressure to right size the project, but advocates need to make sure that happens

They are still adding additional lanes
They will try to pull funding to the interchanges
They will likely Delay the light rail

Today, Oregon honored the life and work of Avel Gordly, the first Black woman to serve in the Oregon State Senate. Thank you, Rep.

2/3 Oregon is a leader in immigrant justice--this session lawmakers passed bills aimed at building on that foundation, including measures to help students feel safe at school, protect personal information, and ensure law enforcement agents are identifiable. #ORleg #ORpol

Several key immigration bills clear the Oregon Legislature. Here’s what they’ll do Several key immigration bills have been approved by Oregon lawmakers but others are still making their way through the Legislature as the session's end nears.

1/3 I’m proud of the work we did this session to strengthen protections for our immigrant neighbors and respond to the disturbing immigration enforcement tactics we're seeing around the country. #ORleg #ORpol
