(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon House has passed a scaled-down transportation funding bill aimed at preventing layoffs and service cuts at the Department of Transportation and transit agencies. Lawmakers approved the measure on a 36-12 vote Monday, with one Democrat voting no and one Republican voting yes. The bill includes a 6-cent gas tax hike, higher vehicle fees, and a short-term payroll tax increase to support transit. It now heads to the Senate, which will reconvene Tuesday to decide the bill's fate.
