From the City Club of Eugene Website:
It was an exciting session, marked with both cooperation and conflict. The passage of a major education funding bill occurred only after a walkout by some and concessions by others. The Legislature also dealt with daylight saving time, the National Popular Vote bill and changes in the assisted suicide law.

Come hear what your legislators want to accomplish in the short session.
