Last Wednesday, April 8th, Rep Mike Nearman on the Joint Ways & Means SubCommittee on Transportation & Economic Development attended the hearing on SB5513 an appropriation bill for Dept of Housing & Community Services with invited testimony only.  Sounds routine.  But, this was related to the Oregon Prosperity Initiative that Gov Kitzhaber directed to include Cylvia Hayes and for which a spokesperson was hired by Oregon Business Council to help the First Lady and is the focus of a state and federal investigation.
