Now up: Sen. Margaret Carter.
She points out that under the Senate Plan, not only will Oregon's uninsured children be covered, but 10,000 people who had been cut from the Oregon Health Plan will have benefits restored.
She also brings up the old riff that Oregonians support increasing the tobacco tax.
"Why do we still ponder it? Why are we so politically afraid? Why are we without courage? I have to ask that today."
Boy, she's got a nerve and that's a grossly unfair characterization of what's going on in Salem. Personally, I think my Republican friends are showing an amazing amount of political courage by standing with me in the face of overwhelming public support for the Healthy Kids Plan.
And I love them for it.
