With two quiet vetoes, Gov. Tina Kotek pushed back on drive to decriminalize sex work in Oregon
There\u2019s a growing push in Oregon to decriminalize consensual sex work \u2013 in other words, to stop charging people who engage in prostitution with crimes. But recently, it\u2019s gotten some push back from perhaps the most influential place: The governor\u2019s office. Earlier this month, Governor Tina Kotek quietly vetoed two attempts to use public money to study the idea.
