A recent survey conducted by AARP Oregon found baby boomers think Oregon’s legislators should make improving the state’s long-term care system and not improving its schools one of their top priorities for this legislative session.

The survey, which interviewed 656 people who are 50 and older, found 74 percent of the organization’s members think the state’s legislators should make long-term care their top priority or rank it high on their priority list, while 70 percent of its members thought this way about education.

The survey found 81 percent of the organization’s members thought job creation should be a priority, 67 percent were concerned about public safety, 57 percent were concerned about mental health services and 38 percent were concerned about child-care assistance for low-income parents.
