(Salem, OR) -- A walkout of 10 legislators has kept the Oregon Senate from accomplishing anything for a 12th straight day. All Republicans and two Independent Senators are refusing to show up, which prevents a quorum to take action on bills. Republicans are protesting Democratic-backed bills for reproductive health and gun control. They say many bills are written in a manner that's too complex, which violates state law. Legislators with more than 10 unexcused absences are banned from running for re-election under a new law passed last year by voters.
