Statement on the Governor’s Budget

Governor Kitzhaber statement on his proposed budget:  “We have an opportunity, this year, to set Oregon on a course to a bright future. The budget shortfall represents an opportunity to change and improve the way the state does business.  My budget includes ideas that have been advocated by Democrats and ideas that have been advocated by Republicans. Oregon's success depends on a willingness to develop new partnerships and coalitions, and move beyond the partisan divisions of the past. The budget would fund job creation programs, consolidate disparate early childhood programs and restructure health care delivery to lower costs and improve the quality of care.”

 
Statement from the senate Republican Office:

“We are excited that the Governor is building his budget on some of the principles that we have been trumpeting for the past four years. We are cautiously optimistic, and look forward to working with the Governor to ensure that his actions match his rhetoric.”
