Oregon Republican Senator talks tough

Interesting.
quote:
After Senate Republican Leader Herman Baertschiger Jr. said Tuesday that his caucus was “prepared to take actions” to prevent passage of a major climate change bill, Gov. Brown announced on Wednesday that she was ready to answer Republican stonewalling by calling lawmakers back for a special session.
quote:
The governor’s hint that she would consider sending troopers in the event of a second walkout triggered an aggressive response from Boquist, which was captured by a KGW news team at the Capitol.
“This is what I told the superintendent,” Boquist said, referring to OSP Superintendent Travis Hampton. “Send bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”
Interesting.

Does a State Governor have the authority to send LOCAL law enforcement after anyone?

No idea, just this from the link. This is one of those stories where a few teaser lines in the OP isn't enough.
Eta....This all has to do with a climate change bill that expects to kill many small businesses. The Senator reps a small town/city that would feel the repercussions.

In recent emails with Boquist, legislative lawyers have provided copies of their earlier legal opinions that the Legislature has the ability under the state Constitution to have a sergeant at arms or — with the governor’s approval – the Oregon State Police arrest absent members in order to compel their attendance at the Capitol.
Boquist, however, chalked up the lawyers’ conclusions in support of the practice as partisan favors to Democrats.
