After Republican leaders of the state Senate scrapped a critical vote to change retirement benefits for public workers last week , it’s unclear when or if the legislation will come back up for a vote. Senate President Robert Stivers said the bill’s supporters were working with members of the Senate and House to see “what can or cannot be changed to get votes in both chambers.” Meanwhile, tensions have continued to rise over the bill after the no-vote, and teachers and state workers have continued to pack the state Capitol in protest of proposed reductions.
