(Salem, OR) -- Oregon Democratic State Senator Chris Gorsek has resigned from the Joint Transportation Committee following a heated exchange during a hearing last Friday over the transportation bill. Republican leaders complained about Gorsek shouting down Republican Representative Shelly Boshart Davis on multiple occasions. The bill moved to House floor after a vote, but was sent back to committee, apparently because the votes weren't there for it to pass. The bill would raise nearly 15-billion-dollars over the next decade for transportation.
