Senate Walkout Day 10

(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Senate has been prevented from having a quorum for a tenth straight day as all Republican and Independent Senators continue to refuse to show up. They're protesting bills on reproductive health care and gun control, along with bills they say don't meet a requirement to be written in a simple manner. The walkout is preventing the Senate from completing any work. Under Oregon law, legislators with ten or more unexcused absences can't run again. Republican Senators Dennis Linthicum and Daniel Bonham along with Independent Brian Boquist have met that threshold.
