Please call your legislator and politely ask them to support Representative Kim Thatcher's E-Verify bill (HB 4052).  Oregon government entities will be required to use E-Verify, making certain that newly created jobs go only to citizens and legal workers. Tax payers should not have to pay the wages of illegal aliens working in government jobs.  The bill has been sent to the judiciary committee for review.  The members of that committee should be encouraged to allow a hearing. Judiciary members are:  Representatives Alan Olson, Jeff Barker, Wayne Krieger, Gene Whisnett, Mike Schaufler, Matt Wand, Carolyn Tomei, Wally Hicks and Chris Garrett.
