Senate Republicans Skip Floor Session

(Salem, OR)  --  Oregon State Senate Republicans say they'll be back at the Capitol today after staging a walkout yesterday.  GOP members of the upper chamber said they skipped yesterday's evening floor session because "Senate Republicans will not work late into the night to fast track an agenda pursued by the Democrat majority" that features back room deals with special interests.  Frustrated Democrats say the after-hours sessions have been made necessary because of the Republicans' insistence on forcing bills to be read aloud, verbatim, before votes.  The current session is scheduled to end on March 6th.
