Gov. Kate Brown Is Sending the Oregon State Police to Look for Senate Republicans

Gov. Kate Brown has ordered the Oregon State Police to go and find the Senate Republicans and return them to the Capitol for a vote on carbon reduction bill.

Gov. Kate Brown announced late Thursday morning she would ask the Oregon State Police to retrieve the Senate Republicans, who fled the Capitol in order to deprive the Senate of a quorum and block the likely passage of House Bill 2020, the carbon-reduction legislation that passed the House earlier this week.

"After many hours of well-intentioned, respectful negotiations on Wednesday, the Senate has come to an impasse," Brown said in a statement." The Senate Republicans have decided to abandon their duty to serve their constituents and walk out. The Senate Democrats have requested the assistance of the Oregon State Police to bring back their colleagues to finish the work they committed to push forward for Oregonians. As the executive of the agency, I am authorizing the State Police to fulfill the Senate Democrats' request. It is absolutely unacceptable that the Senate Republicans would turn their back on their constituents who they are honor-bound to represent here in this building. They need to return and do the jobs they were elected to do."

The Senate Republicans walked out earlier this session, that time in order to deprive the Senate of a quorum (two-thirds or 20 of the Senate's 30 members must be present for a vote) when it was due to vote on a corporate tax increase.

Eco fascists showing their true colors. Glad to the see the GOP stood their ground against a pointless bill.
