SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Democrats in the Oregon Senate are announcing their legislative priorities.
Senate Majority Leader Diane Rosenbaum of Portland and Deputy Majority Leader Alan Bates of Ashland plan to release their agenda on Thursday morning.
Democrats hold a 16-14 majority in the Senate. But successful Democratic Senate bills will also have to get support from at least one Republican in the House of Representatives, where Democrats and Republicans are tied with 30 members each.
A big budget gap means expensive proposals are unlikely to succeed.
