Morning obra,

We had a great day in Salem yesterday for the Velodrome bill's first hearing. It passed through committee with a lot of support from legislators...and now Eugene is officially on board. We're talking 3 velodromes now!

you would have all been very proud of Steve Brown, whose testimony was very thoughtful and effective.

I have posted a full recap, including an audio recording of Steve's testimony:

Now the bill will be assigned to another committee. When we figure out which one, we will need everyone to contact the members of that committee. Stay tuned. We have crossed another hurdle, but there is still work to be done.

cheers,

--Jonathan
