Oregon: Baker City

BAKER CITY -- U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Pendleton) answered questions on health care and alternative energy policy to a lunchtime meeting of the Baker City Rotary Club while on a campaign swing through eastern Oregon Monday.

Smith told the crowd of 60 gathered about the work he did with Democratic Senators including Ron Wyden (D-Portland), Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on important legislation that needed support from both sides of the aisle.
