SALEM, Ore. - More than a week after GOP lawmakers walked out to prevent a vote on cap-and-trade legislation, the Democratic leaders of the Senate and House adjourned the 2020 legislative session early.
..."Senate Republicans are willing to attend the Sunday floor session to pass emergency budget bills, for example, the relief for flood victims in Eastern Oregon," Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger Jr. said in a statement.
The House Speaker rejected that idea.
“The only deal I will agree to is if Republicans in both chambers return and agree to take a floor vote on every bill that has earned support through the public process that governs our legislative body," Speaker Tina Kotek said in a statement.

It's crap like this that irritates me. You have 100 things that need to be taken care of but refuse to move because of 1. Take care of the 99 first. It ain't rocket science.
