Sen. Drazan: Kotek’s bureaucracy and spin won’t solve our problems

Bureaucracy and Spin Won’t Fix Oregon’s Problems
By Oregon State Senator Christine Drazan,

SALEM, Ore. – Senator Christine Drazan (R-Canby), Vice-Chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce and General Government, responded today to Governor Tina Kotek’s new so-called “Prosperity Roadmap”.

“Let’s remember this is the same leader who helped drive Oregon’s economy into decline. For more than a decade—from the Speaker’s chair to the Governor’s office—Tina Kotek has pushed the policies that wrecked our economy: the largest tax increase in state history, her green-energy regulatory scheme, a $4.3 billion transportation tax hike, and policies that legalized tent cities. Now she wants Oregonians to believe she’s capable of fixing the mess she created? Tina Kotek should have been the ‘Chief Prosperity Officer’ for Oregon this entire time. She has failed us.

“If the Governor is serious about fixing Oregon’s economy, the first thing she needs to do is stop making things worse. Her weak leadership is sinking our state. Oregonians deserve a governor who will hold the line on taxes, stop the mandates, and actually work with employers instead of driving them out of our state.”
