The second-highest elected official in Oregon’s state government will be the guest speaker at the next meeting of the OAN Government Relations Committee. As secretary of state, Kate Brown works on many issues of importance to nursery growers. For one, she is leading a workgroup that is grappling with the thorny issue of defining public waterway rights. The OAN is a key member of this workgroup, serving as an advocate for nurseries who are primarily private property owners. The meeting will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday, June 8, at the OAN offices.
