Read my story about an elderly man in a nursing home that was the oldest person I'd ever met, we called him God. Because of a stroke the only word he could say was "One". I developed a way to communicate with him that charmed him. We became good friends. This first appeared in "Setting Forth" an online magazine in 2014

Diane,

This week, the Oregon Legislature wrapped up a historic session that moved Oregon forward on many critical fronts.

In an impressive string of legislative accomplishments, Oregon:
  • Became the first state in the nation with automatic voter registration, known as the new Motor Voter law
     
  • Enacted universal paid sick time for all workers, becoming the fourth state with such a law
     
  • Established universal background checks on all gun sales
     
  • Increased K-12 funding and made universal all-day kindergarten a realitystatewide
     
  • Reclassified most major birth control as over-the-counter medication and required insurers to cover a full 12-month supply
     
  • Banned “The Box” on job applications that prevented Oregonians who had served their time from getting back on their feet
Congratulations to the Oregon Legislature and Governor Kate Brown on a remarkable legislative session that will make a real difference in the lives of working families!
