On March 25, Senate Minority Leader Fred Girod and five of his Republican colleagues committed an act that some in their party felt was a betrayal: They showed up for work.
As the chamber took up a proposal to ban firearms in state buildings and pave the way for other bans, six of the Senate’s 11 Republicans showed up to the floor, ensuring that the chamber had the minimum 20 members present required to take up business.
That bill passed over lengthy and fiery Republican objections, and Girod, R-Lyons, now faces more than cries of outrage from those who believe he should have once again led a Senate walkout. He might have to defend himself against a recall.
