Progress in Oregon Legislature Sets Roads High on Agenda
The 20th Oregon Assembly closed after a five day overrun, with many measures killed or passed to avoid late session chaos. Key actions include substantial road building plans totaling 10 million dollars, a 2.5 million dollar Roosevelt highway bond proposal, and measures promoting open competition in highway construction. A broad statewide educational program was enacted, and a plan to reconstruct lands and infrastructure for returning soldiers was referred to a special election, along with a market roads tax and arid land development measures. Parole officer abolition attempts failed, and a resolution to extend the lieutenant governor’s appointment was approved for a June vote.
