All legislation had both democrats and republicans support. However, Republican State Rep. Kim Wallan, who was not in attendance, said it was a rushed process.
OREGON– Governor Kate Brown is calling the legislature’s 3rd Special Session of the year concentrating on the pandemic and wildfires.
Governor Brown is calling on the legislature to help Oregon communities by providing $800 million dollars in funding relief.
Included in the governor’s budget priorities is aid for tenants and landlords, funding for vaccine distribution and contact tracing, wildfire prevention and support for re-opening schools.

“I have heard a rumor that it will get spent for some landlord relief and if that’s the case then, yes, I think that (Special Session) is necessary,” said State Representative, Kim Wallan.
