SALEM (AP) — Oregon
will be the first state to auto-
matically register drivers to
vote and to give women access
to 12 months of birth control
at a time. Workers will get up
to a week of paid sick leave.
A controversial new global-
warming initiative aims to
reduce carbon pollution.
Evidence of the Demo-
crats’ expanded majorities
was everywhere in the 2015
session that wrapped up this
week. And while they didn’t
get everything they wanted
— most notably, tax hikes for
road construction — the lib-
eral wing of the Democratic
Party managed to break sig-
nificant new ground on issues
important to the left.
“This is the session I think
people will remember as the
year we put opportunity for
working families first,” House
Speaker Tina Kotek, a Port-
land Democrat, told reporters
an hour after the session ended
Monday night.
The stage was set for
Democratic successes in last
year’s election, when the party
expanded its majorities in the
House and Senate. The expan-
sion empowered the party’s
liberal wing, which had been
repeatedly stymied by more
moderate Democrats willing
to side with Republicans.
Even after the session was
rocked by the stunning res-
ignation of then-Gov. John
Kitzhaber in February, Demo-
cratic leaders pressed ahead
with what they called unfin-
ished business — legislation
that was stymied in previous
years. It included an exten-
sion of the low-carbon fuel

Democrats failed in an
effort to pay for road, bridge,
airport and transit construc-
tion through higher taxes on
gasoline, driver’s licenses and
vehicle registrations. Raising
taxes would’ve required one
Republican vote, and GOP
lawmakers were united in their
insistence that the low-carbon
fuel standard be repealed first.
While Gov. Kate Brown
and a group of legislators tried
to reach a compromise that
involved trading the fuel man-
date for other carbon reduc-
tions, the effort fizzled amid
intense lobbying by environ-
mental groups and uncertainty
about emissions data.
“No session is perfect,”
Senate President Peter Court-
ney, D-Salem, said in a state-
ment. “Every session has
accomplishments and disap-
pointments. This session was
no different. In some ways it
was tremendously successful.
In other ways it was histori-
cally difficult.”
Courtney was a top cham-
pion of the transportation
efforts and of an unsuccess-
ful bid to remodel the Capi-
tol, both of which died for
lack of support from House
Democrats.

Democrats mandated back-
ground checks on private gun
sales, and voted to use driving
records to automatically reg-
ister eligible citizens to vote.
They approved a bill giving all
workers a week of sick leave,
which must be paid leave in
companies with at least 10
employees.
In each case, Oregon was
one of the first states to adopt
the policy.
The breakneck pace frus-
trated Republicans, who
complained Democrats were
rushing through partisan and
controversial legislation to
please their campaign donors.
Throughout the five-month
session, Republicans repeat-
edly invoked the memory
of Cover Oregon, the failed
health-insurance exchange
that tried to be a national trend-
setter but ultimately failed to
launch a working website.
“I don’t find anywhere

ment that Oregon be famous
