Tuesday marks the start of Oregon’s biennial short legislative session. Over the next 35 days, state lawmakers will consider changes to the budget and some big policy proposals. Among them: Whether to allow adults in state custody to vote, millions of dollars to create jobs and a measure to let us pump our own gas.

On this special episode of OPB Politics Now, Lauren Dake and Tiffany Camhi break down the topics that are likely to be the fiercest fights.
