    Kotek responds to Congress on Medicaid fraud

    Oregon Governor Tina Kotek responded recently to a letter from the House Energy and Commerce Committee asking the state for information on combatting Medicaid fraud, based in part on Oregon Roundup’s reporting on Uplifting Journey. Kotek’s press release talks about the Trump Administration, but the House committee is part of Congress, not the Trump Administation. She also notes that one out of four Oregonians relies on a federal program of health insurance for poor people, perhaps not the “win” she seems to think it is. This is a public episode.

    Wall Street Journal meets Oregon tax hike

    The Wall Street Journal today published an op-ed I wrote about the transportation tax mess Tina Kotek and her allies find themselves in, and what it might mean for Oregon’s ruling progressive coalition. Here’s a link, which may be paywalled. Here’s a screenshot from the online print version: My apologies for the poor audio quality of the video. I forgot to use earbuds/mic and don’t have time to re-do it. Also, I wrote and submitted the piece before Ed Diehl and Chris Dudley got in the governor’s race. That’s why it mentions only Christine Drazan as a likely opponent for Kotek. I hope to dig into Democrats’ bill to change the referendum election date from November to May and publish something soon. Stay tuned! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit oregonroundup.substack.com/subscribe

    Desperate Dems want to move tax vote date

    The Oregon legislative counsel’s office told Democrats yesterday they could not constitutionally repeal the tax now that it’s slated for a referendum vote. This after the same attorney in that office told State Rep. Ed Diehl earlier this month Democrats could repeal the tax and have it removed from the ballot. I wrote about that and my analysis of the legal question, with which legislative counsel now largely agrees, here. This is a public episode.
