Description

House Minority Leader Christine Drazan, R-Canby, and other GOP lawmakers address reporters in front of Oregon Department of Transportation headquarters.

Right now, there’s a lot happening in the State Capitol that will affect all Oregonians in some way. And because it’s an odd-numbered year, which means the Oregon Legislature has a session that stretches from January to June, we’re nearing the busiest time of the legislative session. This is when lawmakers have to pass a two-year budget and, of course, some other bills that are critical to keep the state running. Podcast producer, and self-described “civics nerd,” Julie Sabatier tagged along with OPB’s Capitol reporter Dirk VanderHart for a day to see what’s going on behind the scenes of our state government.
