Unemployment Benefits Extended

Oregon lawmakers voted in favor of extending state and federal unemployment benefits for people who have exhausted their benefits. Republican Bill Gerrard says there are too many people in his District who are unemployed and voted yes. But he's worried about what happens with the unemployment insurance fund dries up. State benefits are extended by six weeks with this vote; federal benefits by about 20 weeks.
