Betsy Johnson (D-Scappoose) is holding town hall meetings to discuss the State’s current budget situation and to outline alternatives for the upcoming Special Session to be convened this month. Johnson will be meeting with Vernonia area residents Satur day, June 8, from 12:30 to l:30 p.m. at the Scout Cabin. “The financial situation fac ing Oregon has been going from bad to worse. The most recent financial forecast indi cates that we are nearly $1 bil lion in the red,” Johnson said. There are only two ways to bring the budget into balance: Cut spending or raise taxes. I am not anxious to pursue either alternative, but am very anx ious to hear what out district residents think," Johnson said.
