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.

ODOT Leadership is totally incompetent! They spend a billion dollars they don’t have and come to the taxpayers to bail them out. As far as increasing gas tax and registration fees we already pay.40 cents per gallon and our gas prices are $2 per gallon more than the rest of the country. No more mone!

We need a 'No Camp Zone ' radius around urban and sub urban areas and then have a few managed campsites within the new limit. Only 2 options. The risk to property owners and the option to live on the fringe is not right. Not a problem before 2020 and it's over time to get back to before.
