Oregon farmers, truckers, loggers and senators rebel against Dems

Oregon farmers, truckers, loggers and senators rebel against DemsNational media has been quick to cover Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s militaristic response to republican legislators who have cut senate sessions and left town.

In an effort to save Oregon agriculture, transportation and natural resource industries from bearing the burden of a boundless cap and trade bill (Oregon HB 2020), 11 republican senators ditched the state capital to prevent a quorum in the chamber. It was a stand made to force the far-reaching plan into a referendum vote rather than allow a super-majority legislature, packed with politicians lacking business experience, to set policy.

Brown’s reaction was to condemn the senators for dereliction of duty and charge the state police with the task of rounding up the truants and compelling them to return to Salem. Despite the Oregon State Police’s statement that they are following their constitutional obligation, it has been suggested that the forced return of legislators to a special session Brown has called July 2 might fall under Oregon Statute 163.255 of second degree kidnap. Whether the senators have committed a crime warranting arrest goes unanswered.
