Tina Kotek: “I fought for these funds in my budget to stabilize services in Oregon because rural communities deserve reliable, high…”

I think there'll be a lot of questions about that going forward.

There is power and love in this park tonight. On behalf of everyone who lives in Oregon, I am so sorry for what you are experiencing today. No parent, no family, no community should have to have this kind of day.

To the community member who heroically intervened to stop further loss of life: Your actions carry a heavy emotional burden, and I just want you to know that my thoughts are with you as well.

No community should experience this, no parent.
