GOP Senators offer bipartisan path. Get no compromise response


Republicans Seek a Bipartisan End to Session, Democrats Seek a Return to Unlawful Bills, Extreme Partisanship

By Oregon Senate Republican Leader,

In recent days, Governor Kotek attempted to insert herself into discussions on the pause in the Oregon Senate but didn’t come prepared to make good on her commitment to serve Oregonians – all Oregonians.

Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp (R-Bend) released the following statement:

“Republicans entered good-faith discussions with the Governor over the last several days. Our goal was to find a bipartisan resolution for the end of Session resulting in the passage of substantially bipartisan budgets and bills. Unfortunately, the Governor was focused on a return to the status quo: an agenda that is unlawful, uncompromising, and unconstitutional.
If Democrats want us to provide a quorum before June 25th, they must agree to follow Senate Rules, follow the law, and work to put forward constitutional, bipartisan bills that don’t violate a parents’ sacred right to love and care for their child. In the meantime, we will continue to work every day on behalf of the Oregonians we took an oath to represent.”
