So this is how it works in Salem?
Vote the “wrong” way and leadership pulls you off the floor?
During the HB 4145 work session, Rep. Tran voted NO.
Mid–roll call, a recess was called by Rep. Kropf.
Fifteen minutes later she came back — visibly shaken, reportedly in tears — and changed her vote to YES.
That’s not persuasion. That looks like pressure.
Derek LeBlanc has already filed a conduct complaint with the Legislative Equity Office — a Committee Rep. Kropf himself serves on.
If you believe every legislator is free to vote their conscience, you might want to watch that clip again.
The deeper you look in Salem, the uglier it gets.
Oregonians deserve answers about what happened during that 15-minute recess.
