After being sidetracked by a partisan dispute for the better part of three days, the Oregon House voted Thursday night for legislation that includes $250 million for summer educational and recreational programs for students statewide. The money is contained in one of three bills to rebalance the current two-year state budget. All of the bills passed, 55-0, and went to the Senate. The discussion took less than 15 minutes. Gov. Kate Brown and legislative leaders from both parties have signaled their support. The Legislature's joint budget committee approved the measures two weeks ago. "Oregonians are depending on this essential aid," House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, said in a statement after the votes. "We've spent the last year responding to crisis after crisis. As our state continues to recover from the many challenges 2020 brought, this funding package will make urgent investments to help Oregonians who are truly hurting."
