Oregon Democrat plans no vote on transportation bill as session nears its end

Sen. Mark Meek, D-Gladstone, says he plans to vote no on the transportation bill. "I just think we're crossing the lines of what Oregonians are expecting of us," he said in an interview with OPB Wednesday morning.
Oregon state Representative Khanh Pham, a Democrat from Portland, announced her intention to vote against the proposed transportation bill as the legislative session nears its end on June 23, 2025. Pham cited the bill's failure to adequately address climate change and its potential negative impact on low-income communities as her primary reasons for opposition. The bill, which aims to fund transportation infrastructure projects across the state, has been a point of contention among lawmakers, with some arguing it does not go far enough in promoting sustainable transportation solutions. Pham's stance reflects broader concerns within the Democratic party about balancing economic development with environmental and social equity considerations.
