Liz had a letter to the editor in The Oregonian about a week ago:
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Gov. Ted Kulongoski have each unveiled major health care reform proposals that would provide access to health care for many Oregonians. It is notable that both of these proposals recognize that providing insurance alone is not enough to ensure access to care; both proposals include a plan to expand school-based health centers.
If these plans are enacted, many children who otherwise might not get the care they need will have access to quality, affordable health care right in their schools. School-based health centers are a smart investment for communities and a winning solution for schools and families.

Lots of men will tell you they married women smarter than themselves. That’s true in my case and we’ve got the graduate school transcripts to prove it.
When Liz – a former congressional staffer, former public school teacher, mom and public policy advocate – tells you that a proposal will benefit kids in our state the advice is coming from an expert.
