Reply to comment by PlentyCommission166 in Hey Penobscot, two of your senators skipped work and couldn't vote for the bill to approve heating assistance today. It failed by 3 votes. by victorspoilz

Oregonians dealt with this by citizen ballot initiative that passed this year, which "amends the Oregon Constitution to disqualify state lawmakers from reelection if they have 10 or more unexcused absences from legislative floor sessions." Maine has citizen initiatives too, though it doesn't allow for constitutional amendments.

Worth noting that everyone who wasn't there for the vote is marked with an E in the roll call, which means they had an excused absence. When lawmakers miss a vote unexecused it's marked with an A.
