I don’t often reference him, but Limbaugh lined this out nicely last Thursday and Friday.
It’s a big honkin’ money laundering scheme.
Unions pay dues, dues go to rats, rats keep the Unions employed and well paid, Unions pay more dues...
Every single state legislature should be writing a rule about members who “flee” to avoid a vote. Something like, if you’re gone more than X consecutive days, you are automatically counted as a Yea vote. Something, anything, to prevent this kind of chicanery from happening anywhere else again.
Says it all. Taxpayer funds going to socialist candidates. I know here in Tennessee it is coming to an abrupt halt. We are RTW so the screaming and yelling will be just a few socialists.
That is a fine line. Look what the socialists have done to the Constitution.
How about if you are absent X number of days,then you have resigned your position and a special election will be held ASAP
They all have some sort of self governing committee such as an ethics committee to police their members.
I would think that publicly announcing that you are leaving the state to avoid a quorum and to derail the legislature because you do not agree would be a grounds for disciplinary action.
legislatures are designed to be self governing. If they don't have the guts to discipline their members they need new leadership.
Yep, just as the union thug leaders will negotiate members demands to ensure members dues keep being deducted from payroll checks. The thugs need those dues to live high as well as keep Rat politicians elected.
Yeh Jimbo but the Tea Party is funded by Corporations and the Koch bros dontchyaknow.... At least the leftists keep chanting those hypnotic mantras of lies to soothe their troubled cores.

What is the official definition of bribery??
In biology it's called a "symbiotic relationship." Like sharks and remora suckerfish (but it's hard to tell which would be the politician and which the union thug).
Make it like flight from justice laws.
Wow—thanks for ‘digging’ up the list on contributions. Then again the leftist Rats never let factual truth get in their way of grandstanding.
