Where’s Waldo? Oregon On The Lookout For AWOL Republican Politicians
Oregon citizens and state troopers are keeping an eye peeled for AWOL Republican state senators who by being absent from their legislative jobs are stonewalling a vote on stricter pollution standards to battle climate change.
All 11 of the chamber’s GOP senators walked out of a legislative session Thursday and are in hiding to block passage of the historic bill. They don’t have the votes to stop it the old-fashioned, democratic way.
The walkout leaves the Senate two people short of a required quorum before a vote can be held.

Get a bounty hunter out on them. First one who brings back two gets 5K that will find them in a hurry.

These guys should be voted out of office. They should be putting forth an argument that states their point of view. If they have a point then we will vote for what they propose, itherwise we will not. I live in Astoria, Oregon and am usually proud of the people in this state, yes we have problems but we need to get together and solve them not run away and throw a snit.

I think they are being fined $500.00 a day.
You're right. The Oregon Governor is fining them $500/day.
@LiterateHiker Hope they have to pay this themselves, not getting help from some rich out of state oligarch.
