The Oregon Legislature’s Ways and Means Committee’s road show going out to the public in six different locations to hear their budget priorities has just wrapped up.  Senator Bill Hansell says while many special interests line up their speakers to testify. the legislators did hear from the general public as well.  He says in many ways right now people are protecting their own turf.  The 29th District Republican said while they heard from proponents of higher corporate taxes and not making any cuts, he said realistically that’s not going to happen, and while there may be some revenue considerations those won’t happen without finding more efficiencies in various departments.
