When we as legislators return to the capitol, I hope all of us on both sides of the aisle are ready to roll up our sleeves and figure out how we can do the hard work of governing to make it easier for Oregonians to connect to one another. Oregonians demand and deserve nothing less.
Oregon ranks dead last among the seven states in the American West for the amount of money we put into our transportation system–Folks in Washington and California pay more than 3 times as much in vehicle-related taxes than Oregonians. If we had passed House Bill 2025, we would have been sixth lowest out of seven Western States. With our federal investments continuing to disappear, Oregonians are counting on us to stick up for our state.
I’m deeply disappointed and frankly heartbroken that the legislature failed to pass the HB 2025 transportation package this legislative session. We spent countless hours over the past two years working on a transportation package, and the bill ultimately failed after passing out of the Joint Committee on Transportation Reinvestment on a bipartisan vote. We had a bipartisan vote to advance a bill out of committee that would have prevented catastrophic layoffs at ODOT, and at the city and county level. We had a historic safety investment to address the horrific rise of traffic violence on our streets. We had funding secured to expand passenger rail service, and maintain transit.
