Oregon lawmakers end session after OK for record spending
Legislature ends one day before deadline; members get federal money for district projects.
Oregon lawmakers adjourned their 2021 regular session Saturday, June 26, after approving record spending buoyed by federal funds and state tax collections that remained resilient despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Each of the 30 senators and 60 representatives got a slice of $240 million from the state s $2.6 billion share of federal funds under President Joe Biden s pandemic recovery law, known as the American Rescue Plan. Each senator got $4 million, and each representative $2 million, to allocate to a maximum of four projects or programs sponsored by state and local agencies and nonprofits.
