Gov. Tina Kotek today affirmed the tentative list of vetoes she issued July 28.
As WW previously reported, the governor took a dim view of spending money studying the decriminalization of sex work and of establishing a state bank. She also nixed a bill that would have studied the creation a new tax credit to encourage the preservation of historic property.
Here is a list of all the vetoes.
“My commitment to Oregonians is that I will dig into the details and ask hard questions to make sure our state government is delivering results,” Kotek said. “Over the last month, my team and I have been thoroughly reviewing every bill, agency budget, and appropriation. While I understand and support the intent behind several of the items I’m considering vetoing, I am weighing concerns about implementation and budget prioritization.”
