Reading about the law that was passed, and now the aftermath of it, I'm a bit skeptical that this is a good thing. On the other hand, what other job can you just decide not to go to and do your work and it's totally fine? Is boycotting a bill or series of bills because you disagree with them protected speech? Perhaps not. It's just interesting to see this happening.
In Oregon's case the Republicans had been doing their quorum dodge stuff for a few years to prevent progressive legislature and the citizenry got tired of it and voted this change in.
