Oregon Democrats Slam Door on Open Process

After years promising the "most open, accessible session in a generation," Democrats in the Oregon Legislature are turning their backs on an open process merely three weeks into session. With a party line vote Tuesday night, the Joint Committee on Land Use Fairness adopted rules that prohibit a process for offering amendments. This amendment process is historically an important part of Oregon legislative policy committees and gives a voice to the perspectives and view points of all Oregonians.
