City Club of Eugene: 2019 Legislative Session: Accomplishments and Dissapointments

Recorded: July 19, 2019

Air Date: July 22, 2019

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.  What happened to sensible gun safety measures or removal of exemptions for vaccinations?  Find out what passed and what failed and how your favored piece of legislation fared. Come hear what your legislators want to accomplish in the short session.

James Manning is the Senator from district 7 covering Eugene and Junction City.  After a distinguished military career, he and his wife “retired” to Eugene where he served on many boards and commissions, such as chairing the Eugene Police Commission.  He holds a bachelor’s and master’s degrees and is in the dissertation phase of his doctorate in Organizational Leadership.
