SALEM Ore. (KPTV) - The theme was bipartisanship in Salem Wednesday morning at the state capitol. The Oregon House of Representatives passed a $200 million bipartisan package aimed to tackle the growing houseless and housing crises. The package is made up of two bills, House Bill 2001 and 5019. Both bills received no more than 10 ‘no' votes from Republican house members. This multi-million dollar investment also fulfills Gov. Tina Kotek's $130 million dollar ask for her houseless crisis state of emergency declaration.
