Governor Kate Brown's Statement on February 2020 Revenue Forecast

Statement

Governor Brown today released the following statement about the February 2020 revenue forecast:

"I was pleased to see that today's revenue forecast shows Oregon remains on solid footing--we've experienced sustained economic growth, record low unemployment rates, and have maintained stable reserves. Now is the time to make responsible investments--in priorities like wildfire mitigation and preparedness, earthquake resiliency, and shelter space and services to address homelessness--that will ensure future generations won't have to shoulder the burdens of our inaction. We have a real chance this year to make a difference before the 2020 fire season and avoid the even greater costs of uncontrolled burns that threaten Oregonians' health, homes, and lives."
