Oregon lawmakers have finished their more than five-month session, where they debate, pass laws and approve a budget for the next two years. The session ended with drama, intrigue and one major political failure by the majority party.

On this week’s “OPB Politics Now” livestream, political reporters Dirk VanderHart, Bryce Dole and Alex Zielinski help us understand why the transportation package failed and what it may mean for your commute. They also discuss new gun laws, changes to how the state handles mental illness, and what’s being done to pay Oregon’s wildfire bills.
