Gov. Tina Kotek exclusive interview on climate change: ‘We want to make sure that everyone’s at the table’.

The governor talked about Oregon’s push for more housing, transportation funding and how she responds to critics of her environmental record.

SALEM, Ore. —

With Oregon facing major crises around homelessness and housing, drug overdoses and addiction, Governor Tina Kotek’s first year and three months in office hasn’t included much room for another big priority: climate change. This week, KGW environmental reporter Kale Williams had a chance to sit down with the governor and ask her about what she still hopes to accomplish on that front.
