Johnson, 62 is on three powerful budget committees in the Legislature. She is conducting legislative business from her hospital bed this week. As of yesterday (Tues) there is no estimate on when she will be able to return to her State Senate duties at the capitol.
On her Facebook page the senator is requesting well-wishers not to send flowers, since ethics rules require her to report any gift over $50 and it is difficult to determine costs of the flowers. Cards can be sent to her district office: PO Box R, Scappoose, OR 97056
Johnson is serving her second term in the Oregon Senate. Since 2009 she has served as vice co-chair of the joint Ways and Means Committee, which sets the state budget.
(The Senator will be taping her weekly radio show: This Week with Betsy Johnson. The show is heard on Coast Community Radio's KCPB 90.9 at 10:30pm Friday nights, it can also be downloaded as a podcast on Friday, from our website at coast radio dot org)
