A group of Oregon and Washington legislators will take a bus tour of the western part of the Gorge Friday as part of an effort by the Columbia Gorge Consortium to show common issues of the area.  The tour will go to Bingen Point, Hood River, Cascade Locks, and Stevenson before wrapping up at the Pioneer Center in White Salmon, highlighting housing, education, transportation, and infrastructure needs.  Dan Spatz of consortium member Columbia Gorge Community College says the most efficient way to deal with those issues is to work together across state lines.  The consortium is made up of CGCC, the Columbia River Gorge Commission, Mid-Columbia Council of Governments, Mid-Columbia Housing Authority, and Mid-Columbia Economic Development District.
