Texas House Speaker Aims Sights On Runaway Dems
The president of the House of Representatives of Texas announced on Friday of new measures targeting the democrats who fled the state to refuse the body a quorum of redistribution.
The Democrats of the Texas State Legislative Assembly fled to States controlled by Democrats like New York and Illinois in order to thwart a special session of the organization to consider rediscovering which could clearly the Republicans up to five seats in the House of Representatives of the United States. The representative of the republican state Dustin Burrows, the president of the Chamber of Representatives of Texas, listed the measures that the body took in response to absences.

“I have activated a new policy indicating that any member absent in order to break the quorum will no longer have its pay check or its storage compared to electronic electronic means. Although the Constitution prohibits us from retaining the restraint, that does not dictate how we emit the salary, “said Burrows. “These checks must now be picked up in person, on the field of the Capitol, to count immediately.”
WATCH:
“From today, to protect the dollars of taxpayers and take into account the passive to come, under the article third of the rule five of the rules of the chamber which authorizes fines for members absent without leave, 30% of each quorum breaking the members operating a monthly budget will be reserved and made unlivable for expenses,” continued Burrows. “Absent members must also appear in person to approve or promulgate one of the following elements: requests for reimbursement of travel, personal action requests, including those increase or decrease the wages of the staff.”
The FBI agreed to join efforts to find the Democrats who fled Texas following a request from the Republican senator John Cornyn of Texas while the republican prosecutor Ken Paxton of Texas announced on Friday that he asked a court to declare the seats of the rebellion of the ongoing democrats, accusing them of proposing a “rebellion outside the state”. Burrows has announced other measures to target absent state representatives.

“The approval of newsletters and house reproduction services: not to appear in person will lead to the cancellation of your newsletters and congested funds,” said Burrows. “We have all hands on the bridge. We continue to explore new avenues to force a quorum and we will continue to move forward until the work is finished. ”
Burrows noted that the special session also aimed to adopt legislation to combat the floods of July 4 in Texas which killed dozens.
“To people in California, Illinois, New York or Massachusetts – wherever you are – hear this: the bill cannot be returned to the committee without quorum,” said Burrows. “Each hour, you stay away, there is time stolen from these Texans in need. Each of you knows that in the end, you will come back. And we will spend the priorities of the special session on the call, but with each passing day, the political cost of your absence will increase, and it will be paid in full.”
