Pressure Increases On Kotek To Sign Transportation Bill
(Salem, OR) -- Pressure is increasing on Governor Tina Kotek to sign the transportation funding bill passed in a special session of the legislature. Two democratic state senators, Janeen Sollman and Jeff Golden, are urging the Governor to sign the bill out of concern the delay will impact the public's trust. The Governor has 30 business days after the session to sign the bill. Republicans want to send it to voters but can't start collecting the 78-thousand signatures needed until the Governor signs the bill. If they collect the signatures, it would stop the bill from taking effect until the November 2026 General election.
