Oregon House Republicans are calling on one of their own to resign. A video surfaced last week of state Rep. Mike Nearman, R-Independence, telling a group of supporters how he would let them into the closed state capitol building. He did just that five days later. We’ll talk about this, and look ahead to the last weeks of the legislative session, with Oregon House Minority Leader Rep. Christine Drazan, R-Canby.
