WOULD NOT WALK OUT WITH YOUR

AGREEMENT WITH THEM, ANYWAY.

CORRECT BILL TO VOTE ON THAN

REPUBLICANS TO SHOW UP AND DO
THE JOB THAT OREGON RESIDENTS
ELECTED THEM TO DO.
>> THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN
THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT
OREGON REPUBLICAN SENATORS HAVE
SKIPPED TOWN TO DENY A QUORUM
ON A MAJOR VOTE, BUT THIS TIME
AROUND, GOVERNOR BROWN IS NOT
COMPROMISING TO ENCOURAGE THEM
TO COME BACK, INSTEAD SHE IS
TRYING TO BRING THEM BACK TO
SAY THEM SYLLABI FOR SPIRIT
>> OREGON'S CONSTITUTION ALLOWS
THE GOVERNOR TO MOBILIZE STATE
POLICE. THE THING IS, A WHOLE
LOT OF OREGONIANS ARE CHEERING
ON THEIR ABSENTEE SENATORS
BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT CAP AND
TRADE TO BECOME LAW.
>> WE WILL HEAR FROM SOME OF
THOSE CONSTITUENTS IN A LITTLE
BIT.
BIT.
BIT. >>
BIT. >> Reporter: THIS IS THE SECOND
TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT I
WILL GET TO THAT IN JUST A
MOMENT.
MOMENT.
MOMENT. TODAY I LEARNED JUST HOW RARE
AND SOMEWHAT CHAOTIC THIS IS.
EARLIER INSIDE THE CAPITAL,
GOVERNOR KATE BROWN HELD A
BRIEF PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT
HER DECISION TO SEND OSB
TROOPERS AFTER THOSE ABSENT
REPUBLICAN SENATORS, SHORTLY
AFTER OSB SENT A PRESS RELEASE
SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO USE
THEIR ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP
WITH THOSE SENATORS TO TRY TO
COMMUNICATE WITH THEM
PEACEFULLY.
PEACEFULLY. IN THAT PRESS CONFERENCE, THE
GOVERNOR EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION
OVER THE POSSIBILITY OF NOT
VOTING ON THAT CAP AND TRADE
BILL.
BILL.
BILL. >>
BILL. >> IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HISTORIC
FOR OREGON, HISTORIC FOR THE
COUNTRY, AND FRANKLY HISTORIC
FOR THE WORLD, UNFORTUNATELY
SENATE REPUBLICANS FAILED TO
SHOW UP AND FAILED TO DO THEIR
JOBS.
JOBS.
JOBS. >>
JOBS. >> I BESEECH MY FELLOW
LEGISLATORS TO COME TO THE FLOOR
. I NEED YOU, THE LEGISLATURE
NEED YOU.
NEED YOU.
NEED YOU. PEOPLE OF OREGON NEED YOU.
TO PASS BUDGETS, TO TAKE CARE
OF OUR CITIZENS.
>> Reporter: THAT RIGHT THERE
WAS AN EMOTIONAL AND VERY
DISAPPOINTED PETER COURTNEY, HE
SAYS THIS WAS A HEARTBREAKING
DECISION.
DECISION.
DECISION. THE SENATE PRESIDENT READ OUT
LOUD HIS LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR
ASKING HER TO SEND TROOPERS OUT
, HE SAID IT WAS THE SADDEST
DAY OF HIS LEGISLATIVE LIFE BUT
HE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE.
A SPOKESPERSON FOR'S OFFICE
THAT IF REPUBLICANS DO NOT
RETURN WILLINGLY, THEY COULD BE
HANDCUFFED.
HANDCUFFED. ABSENT SENATORS WILL ALSO BE
FINED $500 EVERY DAY THEY DO
NOT SHOW UP AND AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER, THIS IS THE SECOND
TIME THEY HAVE WALKED OUT THIS
SESSION AND DEMOCRATS A PART OF
THE DEAL MADE LAST TIME WAS
THAT REPUBLICANS WOULD NOT WALK
OUT AGAIN AND DEMOCRATS IN TURN
WOULD KILL TWO CONTENTIOUS
BILLS.
BILLS.
BILLS. SENATE MAJORITY LEADER SAYS
TODAY THEY BROKE THEIR WORD.>>
WE WERE ELECTED TO SERVE THE
PEOPLE OF OREGON, WE ARE
LAWMAKERS, WE ARE EXPECTED TO
OBEY THE LAW AND THE LAW SAYS
WHEN YOU ARE ELECTED TO THE
OREGON LEGISLATURE, YOU HAVE TO
SHOW UP FOR WORK.
>> Reporter: THE REPUBLICAN
CAUCUS SAID IN A PRESS RELEASE
THE SENATORS ARE OUT-OF-STATE.
THEY SAID IN PART, QUOTE, WE
WILL NOT STAND BY AND BE
BULLIED BY THE MAJORITY PARTY
ANY LONGER.
ANY LONGER. OREGONIANS TO DESERVE BETTER.
REPUBLICANS ALSO SAY PART OF
THE INITIAL DEAL DURING THAT
FIRST WALKOUT WAS A RESET ON
THIS CAP AND TRADE DEAL, BUT
DEMOCRATS DENY THAT.
GOVERNOR BROWN HAS SAID IN
RECENT DAYS, SHE WILL CALL A
SPECIAL SESSION IF SHE HAS TO.>>
JUST A MOMENT AGO WE ACTUALLY
TALK TO ONE OF THE REPUBLICANS
WHO LEFT TOWN, HE SAID THAT
WALKING OUT WAS NECESSARY TO
STOP A BILL HE ARGUES THREATENS
THE LIVELIHOOD OF TOO MANY
OREGONIANS.>> WE HAD 1000
LOGGERS IN THE CAPITAL THE
OTHER DAY AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO
HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE THINKING
OF THOSE WHO ARE PUSHING THIS
BILL FORWARD SO THE ONLY OPTION
WE HAD TO SLOW THIS DOWN TO GET
THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC AND
THE MAJORITY WAS TO DENY A
QUORUM AND WALKOUT.
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS,
OF COURSE WE ASKED HIM WHERE
ARE YOU?
ARE YOU?
ARE YOU? HE DIDN'T TELL US SPECIFICALLY,
HE ONLY SAID HE'S NOT IN THE
STATE RIGHT NOW AND THAT HE IS
ALONE.
ALONE.
ALONE. HE
ALONE. HE SAID THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS
REMAIN UNITED HERE EVEN WITH
THE STATE POLICE LOOKING FOR
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. HE
THEM. HE WOULD NOT VENTURE A GUESS
ABOUT HOW LONG HE THINKS THIS
WALKOUT MIGHT LAST.
>>> LET'S BRING IN OUR
POLITICAL ANALYST TO BREAK THIS
DOWN FOR US.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
HOW RARE IS THIS?
PUT IT IN CONTEXT FOR ONE PARTY
TO WALKOUT AND THE GOVERNOR TO
HAVE TO SEND STATE POLICE TO
BRING THEM BACK.
>> IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT
IT IS VERY RARE.
ONCE THE REPUBLICANS HAD TO
SEND SOME POLICE TO GET
DEMOCRATS BACK IN A WHILE BACK
AND ONE TIME THE GOVERNOR HAD
TO SEND TROOPERS TO I THINK IT
WAS AN OSU, BEAVERS BASEBALL
GAME TO TRY TO GET REPUBLICAN
LEGISLATORS BACK IN.
>> WHAT ARE THE STAKES WITH ALL
THIS?
THIS?
THIS? >>
THIS? >> THE STAKES ARE REALLY HUGE,
THEY'RE BOTH HUGE IN TERMS OF
POLICY AND THIS IS A VERY BIG
BILL IF YOU TALK ABOUT CAP AND
TRADE.
TRADE.
TRADE. WE'VE BEEN DEBATING THIS FOR
ABOUT 10 YEARS AS WHAT OREGON
SHOULD HAVE IN TERMS OF LEADING
TO A CARBON REDUCED FUTURE.
REPUBLICANS THINK IT'S TOO
COSTLY AFFECTING PEOPLE IN
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STATE IN
DIFFERENT WAYS AND DOESN'T
DELIVER ENOUGH RESULTS.
IMMIGRANTS BELIEVE IT'S THE
MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF OUR
LIFETIME, SO EACH GROUP HAS GOT
TO TRY TO GET NOT ONLY A POLICY
SOLUTION THEY LIKE BUT ALSO
POLITICAL SOLUTION.
POLITICAL SOLUTION. >> SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
>> THE GOVERNOR WILL DO WHAT
THE GOVERNOR SAID AND SHE'S
GOING TO DEMONSTRATE LEADERSHIP
AND I THINK THE STATE POLICE
WILL BRING BACK REPUBLICANS AND
THEY WILL HAVE TO SIT ON THE
FLOOR, I DON'T THINK THERE WILL
BE ANYTHING LIKE A SHOOTOUT AT
PER BOX.
PER BOX.
PER BOX. >> NO HANDCUFFS COMING OUT?
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
I THINK THE STATE POLICE ARE
VERY PROFESSIONAL.
VERY PROFESSIONAL. THEY'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH
REPUBLICANS, THEY KNOW WHO THEY
ARE.
ARE.
ARE. THE
ARE. THE REBEL COUPLING THE
REPUBLICANS DON'T WANT TO
OVERPLAY THEIR HAND SO THAT IN
FACT THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE
WAY OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARIES OF
MODERATE POLITICS, AND THEY
LOSE EXACTLY THOSE SEATS THAT
THEY NEED TO WIN, SO EXACT THE
FIRST EXAMPLE SALEM A SENATE
SEAT WILL BE A. THOSE SEATS
WILL BE UP FOR GRABS NEXT
ELECTION AND REPUBLICANS CAN'T
LOOK LIKE THEY ARE WAY OUT OF
LINE ON THIS EVEN THOUGH THEY
WANT TO EMBARRASS DEMOCRATS.
THEY WANT TO EMBARRASS THE
DEMOCRATS BUT THEY DON'T WANT
TO TRASH DEMOCRACY AND THEY
DON'T WANT TO TURN OREGON INTO
A LAUGHINGSTOCK KIND OF LIKE
THE TONYA HARDING YEARS, WE
DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
>> IS CAP AND TRADE ULTIMATELY
PASS?
PASS?
PASS? >>
PASS? >> I THINK SO, IN SOME FORM.
I THINK THE VIEWERS WATCH WHILE
THEY TRADE OVER THIS EMERGENCY
CLAUSE WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE
POLITICS OF IT MORE THAN THE
SUBSTANCE OF IT BUT I'VE A
FEELING THAT AFTER A DECADE,
OREGON IS READY TO PASS CAP AND
TRADE AND IT WILL PASS THE
SESSION.
SESSION.
SESSION. >> WILL HAVE ABOUT 20 SECONDS
LEFT, BUT DOES THIS SIGNAL A
CHANGE IN OREGON POLITICS?
>> I THINK YOU ARE EXACTLY
RIGHT TO RAISE THAT ISSUE
BECAUSE OREGONIANS HAVE PRIDED
THEMSELVES ON THE KIND OF
POLITICS AT THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY KIND OF LAUGH THAT A
LITTLE BIT.
LITTLE BIT. WE LIKE TO COMPROMISE AND WE
LIKE TO FIND COMMON GROUND FOR
THE TOXIC POLITICS OF THE REST
OF THE NATION ARE NOT OREGON
POLITICS AND THIS MAY IN FACT
BE KIND OF A MARKER IN TIME
WHEN OREGON POLITICS TIPPED
OVER A LITTLE BIT INTO THAT
MORE TOXIC NATURE THAT GOES ON
THROUGH THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. >> WE WILL BE WATCHING TO SEE
WHAT HAPPENS, THANKS FOR
JOINING US.
JOINING US. >>> DURING THAT DISCUSSION OUR
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CAME IN AND
HANDED ME THIS, WE HAD SENT AN
EMAIL EARLIER TO OS P ASKING
THEM A COUPLE OF DETAILS.
SOME OF THE THINGS WE WERE
WONDERING ABOUT HOW SERIOUSLY
THEY WERE ABOUT ARRESTING
SENATORS AND WHAT LANES THEY
WERE GOING TO AND I WILL REACH
YOU A COUPLE OF THE ANSWERS.
WE ASKED HOW MANY SENATORS AND
WHO THEY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT
WITH THUS FAR AND THEY SAID THE
AGENCY HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH
SEVERAL SENATORS BUT THE
DETAILS WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED
AT THIS TIME.
WE ASKED WITH THE RESOURCES
WERE LIKE WITH THE USB AND WHAT
THEY WERE DOING TO LOOK FOR THE
SENATORS RIGHT NOW AND THEY
POLITELY DECLINED TO ANSWER
THAT ONE, WE ALSO SET WILL THE
OSB TROOPERS PHYSICALLY ARREST
OR HANDCUFFS SENATORS AND THIS
IS WHAT THEY SAID, THEY SAID
THE OS P WILL GO TO GREAT
LENGTHS TO AVOID THE SCENARIO
AND NO PHYSICAL CONTACT IS
PERMITTED ABSENT OF PERMISSION
OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF OSB SO
THE LIKE POSSIBLY BUT THAT IS
NOT AT ALL WHAT THEY WANT TO DO
AND OUR OUT-OF-STATE RESOURCES
ASSISTING OSB SIMPLY SAID YES
AND ADDED NO ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS.
COMMENTS.
COMMENTS. THESE ARE THE KIND OF QUESTIONS
WE ARE ASKING THIS IS WHAT WE
TRIED TO FIGURE OUT, WE ARE
ALSO WANTING TO HEAR WHAT
VOTERS THINK ABOUT THIS, WHAT
DO THEY THINK ABOUT THE
SENATORS WALKING OUT.
WE ARE DOING NOW IN SALEM.

CORRECT BILL TO VOTE ON, THEN
THEY REPRESENT US, THE PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: MOST WERE
SUPPORTIVE, BUT NOT ALL.

YOU WOULDN'T WALK OUT WITH YOUR
EMPLOYER IF YOU WERE NOT IN
AGREEMENT WITH THEM.

READING THESE COMMENTS ALL DAY,
VERY STRONG OPINIONS ON BOTH
SIDES BUT I HAVE TO SAY
ESPECIALLY ON OUR FACEBOOK
PAGE, A LOT OF PEOPLE VOICING
THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE SENATORS.
SOME OF THE MOST INTERESTING
COMMENTS WERE WHEN MAGGIE
TWEETED OUT A PICTURE OF THE
SIGN THAT YOU JUST SAW IN HER
STORY.
STORY.
STORY. STELLA WROTE TO MAGGIE THAT SHE
IS GLAD THEY WALKED OUT, SHE
SAYS THE GOVERNOR SEEMS TO

WE HAVE AMANDA WHO SAYS LET'S
CALL THE FBI IF IT'S ACROSS
STATE LINES, SHE SAYS
SERIOUSLY, I'M A REPUBLICAN, I
VOTE WHO FOR WHO IS BEST ON
EITHER SIDE AND SHE SAYS SHE
DOES NOT SUPPORT A WALKOUT.
THEN WE HAVE COLE WHO SAYS I
SWEAR IF I HEAR ANOTHER HEMP

SENATOR BOQUIST'S COMMENTS.
THE LAST COMMENTS IS VOTE

NEED 20 MEMBERS FOR A QUORUM
AND THEIR TWO SHORT.
I ALSO WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS
GOFUNDME PAGE SET UP BY SOMEONE
