Oregon GOP walkout over Democrats’ ‘extreme’ bills stalls two-year budget plan

The process of creating Oregon’s two-year budget plan has stalled as Republican senators continue their boycott over Democrats’ “extreme" bills involving abortion and sex reassignment.

"This is an incredible opportunity, but if we’re going to take advantage of it, be responsible stewards of our tax dollars, and deliver the solutions Oregonians are counting on, every lawmaker needs to be doing their job," said Senate Majority Leader Kate Lieber.
