Oregon Gov. Kotek calls transportation funding special session for Labor Day • Oregon Capital Chronicle Gov. Tina Kotek will order lawmakers back to the Capitol for an August session to address a $350 million transportation funding shortfall.

Gov. Tina Kotek will order lawmakers back to the Capitol for a special session at the end of August to address a $350 million transportation funding shortfall that led to hundreds of state employees receiving layoff notices this month. buff.ly/TqKQR1u by @jmshumway.bsky.social

Failing to pass a transportation package in the regular session that provided safe, equitable, and sustainable options for all Oregonians was a massive disappointment. Can lawmakers deliver for the environment and Oregonians this time around? With your help, we'll be pushing them towards yes!

Joyful resistance and collective action happening now!
