“One third of Oregon Senate now barred from reelection by walkout penalties”

Earlier this week, I blogged about three Oregon senators. That escalated quickly. From the Portland Tribune:

One-third of all Oregon senators are now ineligible for another term following the 13th day of a Republican walkout in the Senate.

Six more Republicans on Thursday, May 18, joined three Republicans and one conservative Independent in having at least 10 unexcused absences from Senate floor session roll calls. That triggers a new state law, passed by Oregon voters last year, that bars them from another term in office.
