Republican Senate Walkout Continues

(Salem, OR) -- For the second day in a row, five Republican State Senators in Oregon failed to show up for the floor session preventing a quorum. They are the same Senators who prevented a quorum on Wednesday. Republicans say they're opposed to bill summaries that aren't written to an 8th grade level. Democrats say Republicans want to prevent a vote on a bill that would protect reproductive and gender-affirming health care. Under a new law passed by voters last November, legislators who have 10 unexcused absences will be barred from running again.
