Senate Republicans staged walkouts, leading to legislative standstills in Salem. Voters got pissed off and passed Measure 113, which kicks any politician who have 10 or more unexcused absences off the next ballot. Republicans staged a six week walkout, then bitched to the Oregon Supreme Court that it mean the following election. The Supreme Court said no, follow the plain reading of the bill. 10 Republican Senators are now finding their seats vacant. I'm sure FF disagrees. But hey, at least it would also apply to Democrats.
“Voters got pissed off and passed Measure 113” I think this part needs to be emphasized. This isn’t some Dem plot. The voters of Oregon got pissed at the Republican minority shutting down the government and by AN OVER TWO TO ONE MARGIN said that if you don’t show up for work you don’t get to keep your job. 68.32 to 31.68 is a fucking blowout. https://ballotpedia.org/Oregon_Meas...for_Legislative_Absenteeism_Initiative_(2022) I’m not even sure 68% of folks think the earth is round.
Wouldn't it be nice to no call no show for six fucking weeks and keep your job as if nothing happened?
