Response to Wayne Scott's Support for Unneeded OSP Study

In response to Rep. Scott's continued support for a study examining the feasibility of farming the resources of state troopers to local sheriff departments, Mike Caudle released the following statement on Thursday:

"There are already 364 fewer Oregon State Police officer positions than there were when Majority Leader Scott took office in 2003. Last year, a committee Rep. Scott chairs passed legislation eliminating 20 state trooper positions. Now Rep. Scott is fighting for a study examining how to cut more funding for the OSP. Does Wayne Scott plan on continuing this effort until the state police is abolished?"
