Legislature opens 2021 session with a heavy infusion of reality
Ritual and rhetoric are subdued; members of color reach historic high in Oregon.
The new Oregon Legislature was light on the usual ritual and rhetoric during its opening day on Monday, Jan. 11 though they were present but heavy on the realities that have reshaped state politics during the past year.

Newly elected senators and representatives will take their oaths, choose the presiding officers who control the flow of legislation, receive assignments to the committees that shape the legislation, and start the process for almost 3,000 bills and resolutions filed beforehand. (That total is about average for an odd-numbered-year session.)
But because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and more recently the anti-lockdown protesters who invaded the Capitol during a Dec. 21 special session the 160 days scheduled for the 2021 session will be like no other in a century, since the 1918 influenza pandemic. ....
