Lawmakers will be back in Salem this week to consider a proposal that would help stave off layoffs for hundreds of transportation workers. But it would also raise taxes at a time when a lot of Oregonians are already hurting financially. Does this sound familiar? Yes, we’ve been here before but this time Gov. Tina Kotek said she’s confident lawmakers will approve a transportation package that will raise billions for the state’s road and bridge upkeep. We’ll discuss the politics at play on both sides of the aisle. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.

Governor Tina Kotek has long expressed support for wind power. In 2024, the Biden administration approved 195,000acres off the southern Oregon coast for wind farm construction (Wind Energy Areas) as part of its push to grow offshore wind power capacity, which gave her the means to enact this vision. However, widespread opposition from residents, including fishermen, tribal nations, and local politicians, expressed concern over the harm it would bring to the ecosystem and local industry. When these wind farms started to look like a possibility, Kotek asked Biden to halt the project for further research into the potential effects of offshore wind farms on the localcommunity. By requesting the delay, she could torpedo the plan without appearing to backpedal on her previous platform.However, Kotek was recently tossed a lifeline from an unexpected source. The Trump administration's Bureau ofOcean Energy Management, or BOEM, has rescinded all wind power plans for the southern Oregon coast, to the relief of communities in those areas. This new Kotek and Trump alliance has handed the governor the pause on offshore wind she likely wanted. Don't hold your breath, however, waiting for the Governor to send Trump a thank-you note.

If you’re having a bit of deja vu over a plastic bag ban, you’re not alone. When Oregon lawmakers passed the first ban in 2019, which prohibited using so-called single-use plastic bags, more than a dozen Oregon cities had already passed such bans. But the ban's environmental aim of reducing the use of plastic - and its impacts on the environment and human health - did not end up achieving that goal. Grocers replaced the thinner, single-use bags with a thicker, sturdier version that in theory could be reused but only rarely were. The new plastic bag ban lawmakers have now sent to the governor for signature would eliminate all plastic bags from grocers and restaurants in favor of paper bags. Celeste Meiffren-Swango is the state director of Environment Oregon. She joins us to share more about how this new bill is expected to actually reduce plastic waste and what she hopes people do between now and Jan. 2027, when the law goes into effect.

Nous sommes le 2 octobre 1904. Neuf jours avant la bataille de « Waterberg » du nom du plateau ainsi baptisé par les Allemands, en Namibie. La puissance coloniale est en guerre contre les Herero commandés par le chef Samuel Maharero. Berlin a décidé de l'envoi massif de troupes placées sous le commandement du général Lothar von Trotha. Celui-ci a rédigé un ordre dit d'extermination. Il écrit : « Moi, le général des troupes allemandes, adresse cette lettre au peuple herero. Les Herero ne sont plus dorénavant des sujets allemands. Ils ont tué, volé, coupé des nez, des oreilles, et d'autres parties de soldats blessés et maintenant, du fait de leur lâcheté, ils ne se battent plus. Je dis au peuple : quiconque nous livre un Herero recevra 1.000 marks. Celui qui me livrera Samuel Maharero recevra 5.000 marks. Tous les Herero doivent quitter le pays. S'ils ne le font pas, je les y forcerai avec mes grands canons. Tout Herero découvert dans les limites du territoire allemand, armé comme désarmé, avec ou sans bétail, sera abattu. Je n'accepte aucune femme ou enfant. Ils doivent partir ou mourir. Telle est ma décision pour le peuple Herero ». Plus d'un siècle plus tard, et pour la première fois, le 27 mai 2021, l'Allemagne a reconnu avoir commis “un génocide” en Namibie. “À la lumière de la responsabilité historique et morale de l'Allemagne, a déclaré le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Heiko Maas, nous allons demander pardon à la Namibie et aux descendants des victimes pour les atrocités commises ». Quelles sont les raisons et les conditions de « ce premier génocide du terrible vingtième siècle », selon l'expression d'Albert Camus ? Peut-il être vu comme une sorte de matrice de la Shoah ? Invité : Joël KOTEK, professeur à l'Université Libre de Bruxelles et enseignant à l'Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris Auteur de : « COLONIALISME ET RACISME COMME MATRICE DE LA SHOAH: LE CAS DU GENOCIDE DES HERERO ».

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek stopped by the OPB studio this week for an extended interview with Think Out Loud. She talked about her housing policy, what she views as her role in responding to the Trump administration and much more. It was a meaty conversation. Here’s governor Kotek with OPB’s Dave Miller  

Since our last conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, President Trump has enacted tariffs and mass layoffs that could significantly impact Oregon’s federal workforce and economy. The Oregon Legislature has also begun its biennial session, taking up issues around education, transportation and housing. Kotek joins us in the studio to talk about all of that and more.

Earlier this month, J.D. Tovey was appointed the executive director of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation following a vote by its board. Tovey is an enrolled member of the CTUIR, and he had been serving as the interim executive director since last May.         An urban planner by training, Tovey was appointed by Gov. Kotek as co-chair of the Housing Production Advisory Council in March 2023. The council finished its work with a report released last year containing recommendations on how to meet the state’s target of building 36,000 new homes a year over the next decade.   Tovey joins us to talk about his work on the council and his priorities for the CTUIR, including the development of the Nixyáawii neighborhood within the Umatilla Indian Reservation to ease the housing shortage for tribal members. He also shares how the Trump administration’s policies and directives could affect tribal relations with the federal government.    

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek has been consistent about her priorities since entering the governor’s mansion: housing, homelessness and healthcare. That’s left some wondering where she stands on climate and environmental issues. On the latest episode of OPB Politics Now, reporters Dirk VanderHart and Monica Samayoa discuss Kotek’s priorities and vision on the climate beat. Find the show anywhere you get your podcasts.

This week marks the inauguration of President Trump and the opening of the Oregon legislative session. With new opportunities ahead, policy makers should think hard about why government exists. The most basic thing we expect from the government is protection of lives and property. Unfortunately, many elected officials find this boring. They are obsessed with electric vehicles, fossil fuels, plastic packaging, iconic fish species, preferred pronouns, equal outcomes, and dozens of other boutique issues. They prefer working on passion projects rather than protecting public safety. It's not working. Looking at the Executive Orders issued by President Trump on his first day in office, it's refreshing to see how many of them are designed to simply get government out of the way. That's why he was elected. Of course we won't see any such directives issued by Gov. Kotek. She's a believer in central planning. But even she knows that most Oregon cities are over-taxed and over-regulated. Elected officials in Oregon are trying to do too much, for the wrong reasons.  A great New Year's Resolution would be to do less and do it better.

Schools may be closed for the holiday break, but there's a lot ahead for Oregon's public education system in 2025. We asked three of the superintendents of Oregon's largest public school districts — Kimberlee Armstrong of Portland Public Schools, Gustavo Balderas from the Beaverton School District and Andrea Castaneda from Salem-Keizer Public Schools — to join Beat Check this week for a roundtable discussion. Listen in to get the scoop on their thoughts about how the state funds education, and how that impacts urban school districts, which serve complex, high-needs communities, including families experiencing poverty and students who don't speak English as a first language. We also broke down the debate over greater accountability in Oregon's school systems, what it's like to be negotiating with teacher unions in the wake of Portland's impactful teacher strike and what classroom projects — from language immersion to early literacy — have them really jazzed about 2025.
