Dave Coburn: 'Their oath of office swears them to upholding the constitution and doing their duty.'
I have spent the last year as a frontline grocery worker during this pandemic, and I always showed up to work and met my responsibilities to my coworkers, my friends and my family.
I believe our state lawmakers should do the same, and I support legislation that would impose consequences on legislators who walk out when the Legislature is in session.
It is particularly frustrating to see walkouts this year, as so many of my friends, family and coworkers have desperately needed elements of COVID-19 relief. It feels beyond childish to walk away, rather than work with others to improve bills, or vote against them.
