In a decision announced today, the Oregon Supreme Court ruled to uphold Ballot Measure 113 (2022), affirming the will of the voters. Please read our full press release here #orpol #orleg

RE: @TinaKotek 's Central City Task Force Recommendations:

A tax moratorium in a time of unprecedented wealth in Oregon? Seems misguided. What our city needs is a commitment to fund essential services for our communities! #ORpol #InvestInCommunities 💪https://t.co/R2RqnScra7

[Our Oregon @OurOregon]

Bend leaders urge @SenatorKnopp to end walkout, warning families in his own district could lose urgently needed support to help address "homelessness, out of reach housing prices, public safety, funding for our schools, and clean water and transportation infrastructure." #orleg

[Central Oregon Daily News @CODaily]

Bend Mayor Melanie Kebler has sent a letter to Sen. Tim Knopp of Bend, urging him and Republicans in the Oregon Senate to end their walkout that has lasted more than a month. She says the city is at risk of losing critical funding. https://t.co/GiQzC4xyDA

[Oregon League of Conservation Voters @OLCV]

In 2022, a majority of Oregonians voted to bring an end to obstructionist walkouts. In 2023, “a majority of Oregonians support the measures that Republican and Independent lawmakers are stalling.” @ORSenateGOP: it's time to get back to work. #orpol #orleg https://t.co/khJGpjFHu7

[The Bulletin @thebulletin]

Bend Mayor Melanie Kebler has drafted a letter imploring Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp, R-Bend, to get back to work as Oregon Senate Republicans are in the midst of their fifth week of a walkout, denying a quorum.

[Rep. Travis E. Nelson 🩺 @IamTravisNelson]

This shutdown hurts the people. Schools, hospitals, public safety, mental health funding, addiction treatment infrastructure, support for foster kids, & more are all in danger of losing out as a result of the Republican Senate shutdown.

[Our Oregon @OurOregon]

The devastating impacts of the @ORSenateGOP's obstructionist walkout are coming into full view. For students and patients. For families and seniors. For all of us.

It's time for Senate Republicans to show up and get things done. For all of Oregon. #orleg #orpol

[Our Oregon @OurOregon]

ICYMI: An unofficial @ORSenateGOP "committee" went about as you'd expect for no-show @SenatorKnopp: "people in the room stood up one after the other to tell Republicans to stop staging a tantrum over bills they don’t like and get back on the job." #orleg https://t.co/4BxnOCSmeB

[Oregon Food Bank @oregonfoodbank]

Join us, @basicrights and all Oregonians who have a right to gender-affirming care. The Republican walkout denies this right to people who face hunger at higher rates, often having to choose between healthcare and feeding themselves.

[Our Oregon @OurOregon]

Your weekend reminder that @ORSenateGOP, desperate to deny abortion rights, is also holding up drought & wildfire protection, affordable housing, mental health support, and more with their obstructionist walkout. #orpol #orleg

[Our Oregon @OurOregon]

The “sabotage mission” that @SenatorKnopp has helmed isn't just disastrous for his own caucus, it’s devastating for ALL Oregonians. @ORSenateGOP is blocking things we really need: Drought & wildfire protection, affordable housing, and more. #orleg #orpol https://t.co/fnbvu6D8Oo

[Our Oregon @OurOregon]

“Traci Bean drove to Salem from Tillamook, saying that rural voters deserve to be represented, adding that her elected [@WeberforOregon] is one of those participating in the walkout. ‘She’s not representing me …” #orpol #orleg

[The Register-Guard @registerguard]

Republicans and an Independent invited the public to speak about greater oversight. Instead, speakers demanded they end the Senate walkout.

👀“But when time came for public comment, people in the room stood up one after the other to tell [@ORSenateGOP] to stop staging a tantrum over bills they don’t like and get back on the job.” #orpol #orleg https://t.co/bOTupfn5Ti

[Our Oregon @OurOregon]

All of Oregon is paying the price for the shameful @ORSenateGOP walkout. It's time for @SenatorKnopp and the walkout senators to do the same. Thank you for your leadership, @RobForOregon, @KateForOregon, and @ORSenDemocrats #orpol #orleg

[Ben Botkin @BenBotkin1]

The takeaway: Senators who walk out will face fines of $325 a day starting Monday for unexcused absences. Senate just passed this 16-2.

⁦@ORSenateGOP⁩ once again threatening the health and healthcare of Oregonians. The need to go to work, like any Oregonian. #orleg #orpol #DoYourJob https://t.co/OsBmMhUBCB

[For All Families Oregon Action @FAFOAction]

From La Grande to Bend to Newberg, editorial boards across the state agree on one thing: It’s time for Senate Republicans to end their obstructionist walkout and get back to work. #orpol #orleg

[Climate Solutions | on bsky @climatesolution]

The Oregon Senate GOP walkout is costing taxpayers money. And it’s costing all Oregonians sorely needed progress on housing affordability, behavioral health support, drought and wildfire protection and more. #orpol #orleg

[OR House Democrats @ORHouseDems]

Since Roe was overturned violent threats against abortion providers have spiked in Oregon. The Reproductive Health & Access to Care Bill (HB 2002) helps protect providers' physical safety. This has always been about providers being able to do their jobs. #orleg #orpol
