About this listen
Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS) now commands over $22 billion every two years. But with that size comes dysfunction.
In this episode of Oregon D.O.G.E., host Senator Daniel Bonham is joined by Senator Diane Linthicum, Rep. Ed Diehl, and analyst Alex Lopez to examine whether DHS is still serving Oregonians—or just expanding itself.
🎯 Topics covered:
- 14.2% budget increase while rural Oregon is still ignored
- 62,000 pages of regulation confusing providers and families
- Millions in DEI spending, lawsuits, and leadership bloat
- A billion spent on non-citizen coverage, while veterans wait
- $155M unionization effort with zero added caregivers
- A foster care system failing kids while spending skyrockets
Lawmakers ask: Is this about people—or policy gone rogue?
