SALEM 2008: Reviewing
the Legislative Session

  • Rep. Bruce Hanna (R)
  • Sen. Floyd Prozanski (D)
    Oregon Legislators

"Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies," said Groucho Marx. Because we know this couldn't apply to Oregon, we've asked Sen. Floyd Prozanski-D and Rep. Bruce Hanna-R to report on the Legislature's recent emergency session. How much was accomplished in such a brief time? Which critical topics fell through the cracks or will be addressed next year? Was partisanship put aside at last? And could the emergency session serve as a model for annual legislative sessions?

Rep. Bruce Hanna is president and CEO of Douglas County Bottling Company. Since 2004, he has represented District 7, which includes parts of Lane and Douglas counties. As well as being the House Minority Leader, he has served on the Ways and Means Committee and its various subcommittees for his entire legislative tenure. He is also the vice chair of the Oregon State Hospital Patient Care Committee.

Sen. Floyd Prozanski is a lawyer and municipal prosecutor. He has been in the Legislature for 11 years and, as a state senator since 2003, represents District 4, which includes southern and eastern Lane County. Most recently, he has served on the Senate committees for Commerce and Labor, Environment and Natural Resources, Judiciary, Court Facilities, and Court Technology.

Our first question will be asked by Rose Wilde, Lane Steering Board Chair of Oregon Bus Project.
