Oregon’s legendary governor took office 55 years ago, on January 9, 1967.

Tom McCall remains one of the state’s most renowned political figures.

His bold achievements set a new standard for the rest of the nation: The Beach Bill and the Bottle Bill, the SB100 landuse law—all legislation that emerged from the McCall years form an indispensable fabric of Oregon life today.
