Wyden, Merkley Keeping Oregon and 2021 in Sight
December 23, 2020
Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley who serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee and Ron Wyden today announced a wide range of investments that will benefit Oregon and are included in the fiscal year 2021 spending bill that has passed the Senate. The next step is for the president to sign the bill into law.
Taken together, the investments announced by the senators impact virtually all communities in every corner of the state, addressing some of Oregonians’ biggest challenges. The provisions highlighted include only a fraction of those in the omnibus package that benefit Oregon, including health care, education, science and conservation, and more.
