SALEM, Oregon, May 9 -- The Oregon State Legislature issued the following news release:
Over the weekend, Senator Tim Knopp (R-Bend) finally admitted that the Republican walkout is about their opposition to bills protecting abortion rights and advancing gun safety. Republicans previously claimed they were walking out on their jobs because of a sincere objection to the Senate's process, an objection which was already rebutted by nonpartisan legislative counsel and the courts.
