Senate Democrats release February 2010 agenda
February 1st, 2010
Senate Majority Leader Richard Devlin and Senate President Peter Courtney join with House leaders to share session priorities
Senate Majority Leader Richard Devlin, House Majority Leader Mary Nolan, Senate President Peter Courtney, and Speaker of the House Dave Hunt joined together this afternoon to discuss their caucus’ agendas for the February 2010 session. Shared priorities include focusing on creating jobs to get Oregon’s economy back on track and helping families that are struggling because of the recession.
“You’ll see agreement between the House and Senate Democrats on a number of agenda issues because we recognize what is most important to get done in our short time here,” said Devlin (D-Tualatin). “Given the challenging times we’re in, it’s crucial to continue focusing on what we can do to help small businesses, middle class families, and those Oregonians who are still looking for work.”
“This session is about taking action now to help Oregonians who are struggling in these difficult times. It’s about providing for the unemployed and working with small business to create jobs. It’s about giving Oregon the opportunity to work her way out of this crisis,” Courtney (D-Salem/Gervais/Woodburn) said.
Democrats’ agenda for February’s session includes helping small business get the capital they need to grow, extending unemployment benefits for those Oregonians who are out of work, and making sure the investments made in healthcare, transportation and affordable housing during the 2009 session are putting people back to work.
