El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n sobre el fallecimiento del tesorero del estado de Oreg\u00f3n, Ben Westlund:<\/p>\n
Conoc\u00ed a Ben en 1997 antes de que me eligieran para servir en la legislatura de Oreg\u00f3n. Me impresion\u00f3 enormemente su seriedad y dominio de los temas. Esa primera impresi\u00f3n nunca vacil\u00f3 en la d\u00e9cada que servimos juntos. Tuve la suerte de trabajar con Ben en muchos temas, incluida la legislaci\u00f3n que cre\u00f3 las Cuentas de Desarrollo Individual para ayudar a las familias de bajos ingresos a cumplir sus sue\u00f1os. Fue un honor trabajar con \u00e9l y lo extra\u00f1ar\u00e9. Mary y yo estamos pensando en Ben esta noche y nuestras oraciones est\u00e1n con Libby y toda la familia Westlund.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
