(ABC NEWS) – Republican state lawmakers in Oregon remain in hiding after walking out of the state Capitol last week to block a vote on a climate change bill.
The legislation would establish a carbon cap to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It’s likely to be approved by the Democratic-controlled legislature, but lawmakers can’t vote on the bill without a quorum.
While Oregon Governor Kate Brown dispatched state troopers to bring senators back to the Capitol, the whereabouts of the GOP lawmakers remains unclear, according to The Oregonian’s Hillary Borrud.
