the minimum wage bill last
week, which is headed to
Gov. Kate Brown’s desk for
signing, but Senate Republi-
cans have dug in their heels.
One of the last big issues
of the session is a contro-
versial bill to phase out coal
power in Oregon and double
the state’s renewable energy
standards, a negotiated deal
between environmentalists
and the state’s two largest
utilities as a compromise
to more aggressive energy
proposals for the November
ballot.
House Bill 4036 was
passed by the House last
week. But Senate Republi-
cans had been using tech-
niques to try to keep it from

session is not the right time
for such a massive overhaul
to Oregon’s energy policy.
Sen. Bill Hansell, R-Athena,
told the East Oregonian
Friday the complexities of
the bill “once again illustrate
the short session wasn’t
meant to do these kinds of
things.”

sexually transmitted Zika virus
try to postpone travel to the
regions, said Dr. Richard
Leman of the Oregon Health
Authority. If they must go,
they should use mosquito
repellant and sleep under a
treated net.
“We don’t have any proof
at this point that this Zika
infection during pregnancy
is actually responsible for
those birth defects, but as a
precaution I think it makes
sense,” he said.
The main symptoms of
Zika are fever, rash, joint pain
and red, irritated eyes. Leman
said those who display at
least two symptoms after
returning from an affected
country should see a doctor.
He stressed there is no
evidence of transmission
within the state.

The partisan clash and
dwindling willingness for
compromise became most
visible on Wednesday when
Senate Republicans were a

session. Without a quorum,
Senate President Peter
Courtney adjourned the
meeting, which was already
backlogged with several
bills — none of which
controversial — that were
rescheduled from previous
days as a direct result of the
GOP’s stalling techniques.
“I guess they’re not
coming,” Courtney said. “I
want to thank you for being
willing to do the work. This
does not make me happy.
This makes me sad.”
Republicans in both
chambers
enforced
a
constitutional rule at the
start of the session that
requires each bill to be
read aloud, in their entirety,
before a vote — a process
that takes several hours for
more lengthy bills. House
Republicans dropped that
strategy after the passage of

Shown is today’s weather. Temperatures are today’s highs and tonight’s lows.
— Founded Oct. 16, 1875 —
SALEM — With the
Oregon Legislature about to
enter its last week, minority
Republicans are using a
host of tactics in the state
Senate to try to stall some
of the last big policy bills
that are being pushed by the
majority Democrats.
The Democrats — who
have a majority in both
chambers — have been able
to pass some of their priority
bills, including one that
would raise the minimum
wage.
But the Republicans
argue the Democrats loaded
up the short session —
which began on Feb. 1 and
ends on March 6 — with too
many big policy items, and
GOP lawmakers have been
using some maneuvers that
are unusual for the Oregon
Legislature to slow things
down.
Bills awaiting action in
the Senate include proposals
on renewable energy and
housing
affordability,
as well as state budget
adjustments to cover issues
such as a total of roughly
$8 million for costs related
