Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek will hold media availability Monday at 3:30 p.m. to answer questions about the passage of the state’s transportation funding plan.
Reporters will also ask questions about the planned federal troop deployment to Portland.
Watch the livestream:
The transportation package will increase the state’s 40 cents per gallon gas tax by 6 cents in January, significantly hike title and registration fees, require electric vehicle users to soon pay a fee per mile driven and double the state’s 0.1% payroll tax for transit for two years.
The media availability will focus on the transportation package before opening up to other topics.
