On Monday, Governor Tina Kotek unveiled her $39.3 billion two-year spending plan, providing lawmakers with a framework to examine and revise as they work out the specifics of the state budget for 2025–2027.
Kotek described the idea as a budget for stability. However, federal epidemic relief funds that financed many of Oregon’s innovative initiatives in recent years are now leaving the state, even though the state expects moderate revenue growth. According to her, Kotek’s fiscal strategy was to keep paying the things the state is doing well. During a press conference on Monday, Kotek stated, “Normally, you see governors like, here’s my list of new stuff.” People, this is nothing new. We are discussing sticking with the things that are effective.
