Oregon 26th District State Senator Chuck Thomsen says he’s worried about all of the policy issues that are trying to be addressed during what is supposed to be a short five-week session of the Legislature.  The Hood River Republican notes the time to study and get public input of many of the proposals, ranging from the minimum wage to clean energy standards, just isn’t available like there is during the longer odd-year sessions.  Thomsen noted Senate President Peter Courtney told him during a meeting before the session his main reason to want to get a minimum wage compromise addressed now is because polling showed a minimum wage increase going to the November ballot is likely to pass.
