Oregon Legislature ends turbulent 2015 session
As a result of the elec
tion, Democrats Jained tZo
seats for an maMority over
5epublicans in the 6enate, and
one seat for a maMority in
the +ouse.
-ust days into her tenure
as Jovernor, BroZn siJned an
e[tension of a standard reTuir
inJ a percent reduction in the
carbon content of fuels over the
ne[t decade. Democrats, Zho
failed to reneZ it tZo years ear
lier on a tie vote in the 6enate,
prevailed over 5epublican op
position.
But critics said the standard
Zould raise the price of Jasoline,
and 5epublicans had Zarned
they Zould ZalN aZay from ne
Jotiations over a fundinJ plan
for transportation proMects ² in
cludinJ a Jas ta[ increase ² if
Democrats pressed them.
A ta[ increase reTuires at
least one 5epublican to Moin the
Democrats in the +ouse.

6A/(0 ² Despite a Dem
ocratic Jovernor and larJer
Democratic maMorities in both
chambers, 2reJon¶s leJis
lative session proved to be more
turbulent than e[pected at its
start months aJo.
The session ended at
p.m. 0onday, its th day,
a feZ days short of the leJal
deadline 6aturday. AmonJ the
¿ nalday bills Zas more than
billion in state bonds for a vari
ety of proMects, includinJ
million for school construction.
)or one, the Jovernor Zho
started the session did not end
up ¿ nishinJ the session.
Democrat -ohn .it]haber
tooN the oath for an unprece
dented fourth term on -an. .
But Must ZeeNs later, he resiJned
amid inÀ uencepeddlinJ alle
Jations involvinJ him and his
¿ ancpe, &ylvia +ayes, and Zas
succeeded on )eb. by 6ecre
tary of 6tate .ate BroZn.
Democrat Gov. John
Kitzhaber took the oath
for an unprecedented
fourth term on Jan. 12.
But just weeks later, he
resigned amid infl uence-
peddling allegations.
ZeeNs later, they ultimately
Zere unable to put toJether a
plan linNinJ fundinJ Zith alter
natives to the loZcarbon fuel
standard.
A 6enate committee con
ducted a hearinJ on the plan,
only for leaders to abandon it
after a maMority of +ouse Dem
ocrats said publicly they Zould
reMect a deal tied to repeal of the
Mustenacted standard. &ritics
also raised Tuestions about the
assumed JreenhouseJas reduc
tions in some of the alternatives
proposed to the standard.
:ith no deal in the of¿ nJ,
Lotteries
the political ball Zill bounce
bacN to the 3ortland &ity &oun
cil, Zhich suspended its con
sideration of a street repair fee
pendinJ leJislative discussion.
Party lines
Democrats Zere able to À e[
their maMorities to pass a state
Zide reTuirement for paid sicN
leave and a voluntary retirement
savinJs plan for ZorNers Zith
out access to one. +oZever,
neither chamber advanced an
increase in 2reJon¶s minimum
ZaJe, Zhich at . per hour
is the nation¶s second hiJhest
