Republicans Prevent OR Senate Quorum For Ninth Straight Day

(Salem, OR) -- GOP state lawmakers continue to thwart the Oregon Senate's attempts to convene. Republican lawmakers refused to gather for session again yesterday, preventing a quorum for the ninth day in a row. Republicans say it's a protest over bill summaries that aren't written to the level of an 8th grader, but Democrats say it's a stall tactic to prevent a vote on a reproductive health care bill. The Senate won't meet again until Monday. Leaders from both parties are trying to reach agreement to end the walkout. Some Republican senators now have nine unexcused absences. If they get one more, Oregon law prevents them from running for re-election.
