Democratic leader concedes on Oregon climate bill after Republican walkout
« on: June 25, 2019, 07:24:11 pm »
he Democratic leader of Oregon's state Senate on Tuesday said that a sweeping climate bill did not have votes needed to pass after Republican Senators walked out to avoid the vote.

"What I'm about to say I say of my own free will. No one has told me to say this," Senate President Peter Courtney (D) said Tuesday.

"HB 2020 does not have the votes on the Senate floor. That will not change."

GOP state Senators walked out five days ago to protest the cap-and-trade bill.

Despite Democrats in Oregon controlling both state chambers and the governor's office, Republican had the numbers to deny quorum needed for the legislation to be approved.

Courtney on Tuesday pleaded to Republicans to return to the Senate, noting budget bills that have not been approved.

Fishrrman's assertion:
This is A LIE.
It's being made by the democrat-communists to "fake out" the Republicans into returning.
...After which, the democrat-communists will claim "quorum" and promptly pass the bill.

Normally I would post the Star Wars meme '"it's a Trap"  But I have grown tied of the bullshit.   

But it is a TRAP.
