Legislature Finishes Session

The Oregon Legislature ends its first annual session after reaching agreements on various bills.  Those bills include an Education Reform Bill pushed by Governor John Kitzhaber and one providing added protections against foreclosures. Lawmakers also passed a measure to re-balance the state budget, which maintains school funding, keeps all prisons open and avoids layoffs of Oregon State Police detectives. The session ended five days after it was originally scheduled to end, but a day short of its constitutionally-mandated deadline.
