State Rep. Larry Galizio says the Legislature should meet every yearState Senator Ginny Burdick, D-Portland, and State Rep. Larry Galizio, D-Tigard, offered their assessments of the most recent legislative session over the weekend at a town hall meeting in Portland attended by roughly fifty of their constituents.
