Rep. Jason Conger (R-Bend) rose on the House Floor to address the Legislature’s failure to advance a 2012 measure, called the School Savings Act, which could have saved Oregon school districts $2 billion over the next decade.  In this clip, he says reforming the state’s pension system isn’t easy, but Oregonians are looking to Salem for leadership as PERS costs continue to grow.
