Statement From Co-Speaker Bruce Hanna on December Special Session

(SALEM) – House Co-Speaker Bruce Hanna (R-Roseburg) issued the following statement this morning regarding the special session of the Legislature scheduled for December 14:

“Not enough has been done to create an environment for robust economic growth and job creation in Oregon. The legislation we will move during the special session is a simple way to create enormous long-term benefit for our state, its people and its economy. While special sessions are never ideal, this opportunity for Oregon demands immediate action.

Providing greater certainty in tax policy for a company interested in investing $150 million or more is a step in the right direction for creating a better climate for industry within our state. I am pleased to be a part of this discussion and support the idea of a session to move this legislation forward.”
