Super majority is about control.Not representative of the true public opinion. The walkout stalls bad legislation. It's the only effective control for political overreach.

Our pubic servants are PAID TO DO THEIR JOBS! Walking out on a bill they disagree on is acting like a petulant child, Get in there and do the work. Otherwise, don't try to get elected for a job you do not intend to do.

I think there is already a law preventing walkouts, but, sure, anything extra that would keep them on the job.

I'm not allowed to walk out on my job WITH PAY, if I don't like what's going on

Democrats & Republicans have been guilty of 'calling in sick'. In a democratic-republic, it is the act of a coward, or a scoundrel, to avoid doing their sworn-duty, when they are able. Military Veterans, and others, have endured great pain, and even death, for showing up, to do their job!

The supermajority doesn’t need the Republican votes. They only need two of them in order to completely screw this state into the ground.

No, I don't support this!

With a supermajority hellbent on destroying personal liberties in this state, the only way to stop bad bills is to deny quorum.

This is the only way to not be a partisan government. The issues that were not attended had zero Republican input. We need a democracy that can compromise. One party rule leads to failure.

Democrats have rigged the system in Oregon to the extent that only by walking out are half of Oregon's population being represented. Democrats ignore the will of the voters because they think you are stupid.

Rigged? Like McConnell changing the rules to suit HIS party? Like saying the next SCOTUS justice should be elected by the "next" POTUS - when he didn't want Obama's choice - but completely changing the rules when it was Trump in office. You guys talk out of both sides of your mouth!! Disgusting!

It's part of the checks and balance system. If the bill is so bad that there is no common ground it should be stopped or sent to the people for a vote. If the voters approve, then it should be law. Democrats have used this as well.

I am so sick of KTVZ putting their liberal spin on everything they report. Maybe we should look to see whether Oregon is misappropriating the park funds. Why don't we have a talk with our governor or senator about this? They haven't done anything stupid like endorsing the spotted owl or frog.

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
