The purpose of this blog is to provide accurate information about Portland Community College's lobbying effort during the 2009 legislature.
Dana Haynes, spokesman for PCC, joined the college in June 2007 after 20 years spent in Oregon newspaper newsrooms.
The Legislature is likely to wrap up this week – or not, depending on the kerfuffle over the K-12 budget and the governor’s veto. Meanwhile, Rep. Tina Kotek, whose district is in the Cascade Campus vicinity, is planning two more town halls.
The event is set for 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 15, at the Historic Kenton Firehouse, 2209 N. Schofield St., Portland.
The event will be here wrap-up for this, her sophomore season in the House. Rep. Kotek had a good session, despite the economic turmoil, most notably pushing through a bill that will require chain restaurants throughout Oregon to display calorie counts on their menus.
This would be a good time to hear a gifted young legislator’s take on this difficult session, and to find out her plans for the interim and the supplemental legislative session, tentatively slated for February 2010.
