The Oregon Capitol turned into a busy place again this week, as the legislature got down to business. And a lot of business lies ahead, including agreeing on a budget for the next two years.

Legislative doings are the primary focus of this week's edition of The Debrief, our regular session with JPR reporters. JPR News Director Erik Neumann sits down with JPR reporters Jane Vaughan and Roman Battaglia and OPB reporter Lauren Dake to discuss the issues and political environment surrounding the 2023 legislative agenda.
