The Governor’s 2017-19 Budget reduced general fund support to the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs (ODVA) by $10 million. In November’s General Election, Ballot Measure 96 was passed by an overwhelming majority of the voters to dedicate new, additional funding for veterans. The AOC Legislative Committee adopted a resolution opposing this proposal to “sweep” existing general funds from ODVA’s budget.
