SALEM, Ore. – On the marble steps of Oregon’s Capitol, Democrats finally admitted what we already knew on a loudspeaker for all to hear. That is: Democrats are willing to sacrifice bipartisan legislation on wildfire, behavioral health, housing, and education over an agenda that is unlawful, uncompromising, and unconstitutional.
Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp (R-Bend) released the following statement:
“If Democrat leaders truly prioritized bipartisan budgets and policy proposals Oregonians desperately need, they would work to resolve this impasse in a bipartisan fashion. Instead, Democrat leadership is clinging to an unlawful, extreme agenda driven by hyper-partisan special interests that fails to address the needs of our state. Oregonians aren’t props to be used for political gain only to be discarded the second absolute power is restored.
Democrats must end the theatrics so we can deliver bipartisan results for Oregonians.”
