Kotek calls for special legislative session amid ODOT layoffs, transportation crisis
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Nearly one month after Oregon's legislative session ended, Gov. Tina Kotek is calling on lawmakers to reconvene in Salem amid a shortfall in transportation funding, leading to historic layoffs in the state. On Tuesday, the governor called for a special session on Aug. 29, asking lawmakers to restore funds for basic road maintenance operations at the Oregon Department of Transportation along with other funding needs for local governments and transit districts. The call from the governor comes after Oregon's legislative session ended with the death of House Bill 3402 on the House floor, which aimed to bridge ODOT's $350 million funding shortfall and aimed to avert layoffs at the agency. CNBC ranks Oregon among most expensive states. Here's why 'In the weeks since the adjournment of the legislative session, my team and I have worked every day with legislators, local partners, and key stakeholders to zero in on a solution and a timeline for the legislature to come back together and address the state's most immediate transportation needs. Oregonians rely on these basic services, from brush clearing to prevent wildfires to snow plowing in winter weather, and they are counting on their elected representatives to deliver adequate and stable funding,' Kotek said in a statement on Tuesday. 'At the same time, ODOT acted prudently in the absence of this funding, initiating a first wave of layoffs on July 7 while also working to reduce the impact to basic services as much as possible. Subsequently, with the agreement of legislative leadership and with a plan for a special session now in place, I have directed ODOT to postpone the start date of layoffs for an additional 45 days, allowing impacted staff more time to make contingency plans for their livelihoods and their families,' the governor added. Kotek concluded 'I am confident that lawmakers will step up next month to avert these layoffs by approving the necessary funding for the state's transportation needs. I appreciate their partnership and am eager to be on the other side of this crisis.' Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now The governor is aiming to bring more funding to the state highway trust fund for the 2025-27 biennium along with funds for the Statewide Transportation Fund. Kotek argues that funding ODOT will stop pending layoffs while also allowing the agency to maintain operations at facilities scheduled for closure. 'The special session will be focused on critical near-term solutions to stabilize basic functions at ODOT and local governments,' Kotek continued. 'This is just the first step of many that must be taken to meet our state's long-term transportation needs.' Portland-area residents flock from Washington, California ODOT has laid off over 480 employees out of an estimated 600-700 total layoffs, according to the governor's office, previously stating this marks the largest government layoffs in state history. Without action from state lawmakers – and depending on unpredictable winter weather – a second round of layoffs is expected in early 2026, the governor's office said. In response to the governor convening a special session, House Republican Leader Christine Drazan (R-Canby) said, 'This could have been prevented if Democrats had come to the table and considered House Republicans' alternative plan to fund ODOT by refocusing existing revenue instead of adding billions of dollars in new taxes on struggling Oregonians.' VIDEO: ClackCo deputies punched mentally disabled inmate 7 times, lawsuit claims The Republican leader added, 'This could still be prevented today, without a special session, if Democrats made the decision to use existing revenue from the emergency board. We can still protect these jobs without raising taxes — and we should. Republicans have represented the voices of the people and fought hard to find solutions that don't add new taxes. It's now time for Democrats to do the same. We invite Democrats to join us in funding essential services without raising taxes, to stand with Oregonians who cannot afford to shoulder more costs.' Senate Republican Leader Daniel Bonham (R-The Dalles) furthered, ' 'Just weeks after the Legislature rejected the largest tax increase in Oregon history, the Governor is calling us back to Salem to try again, this time with less notice and less transparency. Republicans offered a common-sense plan to get ODOT focused back on its core mission, protect critical maintenance jobs, restore accountability, and avoid raising costs on hardworking Oregonians. Democrats didn't even give it a glance.' 3 Portland spots included in Yelp Elite's roundup of the nation's best fried chicken Bonham added, 'If Governor Kotek were serious about fixing our transportation system, she would start by repealing her executive order on project labor agreements. That one decision alone adds 20 to 30 percent to the cost of every project. Her concern over budget shortfalls rings completely hollow when she's knowingly forcing taxpayers to overpay by millions. Instead, she's playing politics with frontline workers to pressure lawmakers into voting for higher taxes.' The Senate Republican leader concluded, 'For decades, Governor Kotek and her party have prioritized spending on programs that line the pockets of special interests, such as costly housing initiatives that haven't delivered real results, while neglecting critical infrastructure needs. This mismanagement has directly contributed to the crisis we face today. Oregonians deserve roads that work, bridges that last, and a government that puts them first, not more status quo policies and backroom deals to reward special interests.' While discussing an amendment for HB 3402 — which included a bump to registration and titling fees with a 3-cent increase to the gas tax, allowing that money to go to ODOT — House Republicans argued that working Oregonians don't want more taxes. Meanwhile, Kotek said during the amendment's public hearing that not passing it would be catastrophic for Oregonians, noting possible ODOT job cuts could include roles for incident response teams and maintenance crews, which would be 'unacceptable' for Oregonians. House Minority Leader Drazan echoed the sentiments of her Republican colleagues, previously stating, 'It's really, really simple for us. Oregonians themselves have said our number one issue is affordability, and this is tone-deaf. It flies in the face of what Oregonians are telling us as policymakers that they need right now.'

Sandoz Egypt introduces OMNITROPE 15mg biosimilar growth hormone for the treatment of short stature
Sandoz the global leader in generic and biosimilar medicines, announced the introduction of its 15mg/1.5ml concentration of the OMNITROPE biosimilar growth hormone for the treatment of short stature to the Egyptian market, as part of its ongoing efforts to support Egypt's Vision 2030. Local healthcare authorities remain committed to addressing various health challenges to enhance public health for current and future generations, and help build a healthier, more productive workforce. Research conducted at the Suez Canal University endocrinology outpatient clinic in Ismailia City, Egypt and released in 2024, underscored the importance of short stature treatment, with findings indicating that treatment with growth hormone significantly improved physical, social, psychological, and environmental quality of life¹. 'In children and adolescents, growth hormone is used to treat growth disturbance due to insufficient secretion of growth hormone, associated with Turner syndrome, with chronic renal insufficiency, in short children/adolescents born small for gestational age, or associated with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). The biosynthetic/synthetic hormone is indicated for the treatment of children with growth failure due to inadequate secretion of endogenous growth hormone (GH)² ³,' Dr. Mona Salem, Professor of Paediatric Endocrinology at Ain Shams University and President of the Egyptian Society of Paediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes, said. 'Short stature is diagnosed in children or adolescents who are well below the average height for their age and gender, which may be due to genetic factors or underlying health conditions⁴ ⁵. Studies show that short stature prevalence varies geographically, with a genetic predisposition, as well as nutritional and environmental factors, playing an important role⁶,' Dr Salem added. A cross-sectional study conducted between January 2018 and January 2020 involving 33,150 Egyptian children aged 6 to 11 showed that 17% of the sample had short stature, with 40.8% attributed to familial factors and 24.2% to constitutional causes⁷. 'As noted, short stature affects children and adolescents, not only physically but also psychologically' Dr. Rasha Tarif, Head of the Paediatric Endocrinology Unit at Ain Shams University and Chair of European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) Education and Training Committee, said. 'Growth hormone plays a critical role in effective treatment plans, but ensuring its availability has been a challenge in recent years. This challenge is being addressed through ongoing efforts to secure sufficient quantities to ensure uninterrupted treatment until puberty is complete. Treatment continuity, along with proper follow-up with a specialized physician, is essential for achieving optimal results,' Dr. Tarif added. This new concentration is being made available, expanding treatment options in line with the latest global scientific standards. This will allow for a better patient response in the treatment journey by minimizing interruptions. Securing the reliable availability of this human growth hormone reinforces medical efforts to provide comprehensive care for children and reflects the Egyptian medical community's commitment to delivering advanced treatment solutions for patients in need. 'The Egyptian government, within the context of the Egypt Vision 2030, has shown strong commitment to reducing the prevalence of short stature among children, aiming to improve public health for current and future generations, and help build a healthier, more productive workforce, in line with the national vision for sustainable development,' Sameh Elbagoury, Sandoz Egypt Country Head, said. 'Our top priority at Sandoz is to develop affordable biosimilars for high-quality biologics and ensure that as many patients as possible have access to them. Introducing the 15 mg concentration of our well-established Omnitrope growth hormone allows us to help local authorities meet the increase in demand for growth hormones, reflecting the positive impact and notable success achieved by the Presidential Initiative for the Early Detection of Anaemia, Obesity and Short Stature,' Elbagoury added.
