Oregon 59th District State Representative Daniel Bonham has seen his committee assignments shuffled as the legislative session gets underway. The Dalles Republican will be vice-chair of the House Committee on Economic Development while also serving on the House Business and Labor and the Joint Carbon Reduction panel. Bonham notes Democrats have the votes to pass some kind of cap and trade carbon tax plan during this session, so he sees his role on the carbon committee as a voice for the rural part of the state. Bonham was also just selected to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means General Government Subcommittee.
