Due to the Trump administration’s mismanagement of our economy, many Oregonians are now struggling with high costs for everything from healthcare to fuel to housing. And rising interest rates are stifling economic growth. To address this, Oregon House District 11 candidate Ivan Maluski for State Representative supports establishing an Oregon State Bank to provide low interest lending for Oregonians. It’s not a new idea, but Maluski believes it’s long overdue. "North Dakota has had one for generations,” he says. “It’s helped farmers and ranchers get low-interest loans. Homeowners get low-interest lending on their first-time homes or for refinancing.” What do you think?
