and social areas), Senator Larry Hill

labor and social issues), Senator
McCoy (strong in nearly all areas),
Senator Roberts (with Senator
McCoy, one of the strongest over-all
Senators in all social areas).
wrote an earlier article commenting
on the specific actions of House and
Senate committees on Human Resources
and Labor. With this article, I will attempt
to give a rating to all 92 members of the
past legislature. My evaluation will focus
on the areas of health, labor, handicapped
issues, environment and other social and

evaluation, I have incorporated my own
Senators: Dukes, Frye, Hamby, Jim
records as well as conversations with lob
Hill, Kitzhaber, Otto, Ryles, Trow
byists for public interest groups.
and Wyers
Starting with a high of plus two to a low
of minus one, my ratings are as follows:
Neutral: (nothing to be proud of but did
not lead major obstructionist
legislation)
The Senate:
I
+2: Senator Bradbury (especially strong
in workers’ issues and alternative
choice). Senator Cease (strongest in
womens’ issues), Senator Cohen
0 : Senators: Brenneman, Brockman,
Hannon (strong on handicapped
issues), Houck, Jemstedt, Kennemer
(strong in health care issues), Kin-
“Move on up to Professionals 100
. , . You deserve the best."
tigh, Meeker, Monroe, Simmons,
Thome and Timms, also Senator
Ryles’ replacement, Senator Bloom
1: Senators: Olson (while a good record
in handicapped issues, this could not
pull the Senator out of his negative
work in womens’, environment, per
sonal choice and alternative
health care), Yih (Albany has its own
breed of Democrat. Se nator Yih
seems to think that all problems can
be solved by “ getting a job” and
votes against most social issues.)
The House:
+ 2: Representatives: Baumann (all
areas), Carter, Cease, Dix, Eachus,
Gold, McTeague, Peterson, Springer
+ 1: Representatives: Barilla, Bunn
Neutral: Representatives: Agrons, Bro-
goitti, Butsch, Campbell, French,
Gilman, Gilmour, Hanneman, Hay
den, Johnson (good handicapped/
terrible labor), Jolin, Jones, Jones,
Kopetski, Markham, Miller, Minnis
(good handicapped and alternative
health care, poor most other areas of
social legislation), Norris, Parkenson,
Phillips, Pickard, Roberts, Sayler,
Schroeder, Shiprack (very poor
labor), Sides, Trahem, Van Leeuwen
(excellent handicapped), Whitty and
Young.
— 1: Representatives: Anderson, Bellamy,
Calouri, Kotulski (almost created a
- 2 category), Schoon
While some of my professions’ best
friends are rated as neutral, this reflects ar
evaluation based on a much broader range
of votes. Legislators may have strong
points in areas outside of labor and social
concerns which would not be indicated in
the above rating.
