Oregon Legislature Considers Budget Framework

(Salem, OR) -- Oregon's legislature will soon tackle the next budget, based on a framework released Wednesday by the Joint Ways and Means Committee. It includes fully funding the governor's request to send nearly eleven-and-a-half-billion dollars to the state school fund, 150-million-dollars for responding to natural disasters, like wildfires and a 100-million-dollar emergency fund. There are also 272-million-dollars in cuts, primarily through eliminating vacant positions. House Republican Leader Christine Drazan says the budget should prioritize the needs of Oregonians.
