Those 14 senators are technically residents of another state, making them no longer eligible to be state representatives.
Why not require “representatives” to obtain permits to reside out of state when legislatures are in session?
Won’t the Dem senators have to pay taxes to the state of Illinois for the days they are spending there? They have been working via the phone and offering amendments via the phone. Shouldn’t they have to pay Illinois taxes for working in that state?
There’s got to be a legislative fix for this idiocy so it cannot occur in the future.
At the minimum, states should have EXTRADITION treaties with other states for the return of any fugitive legislators.
Also need to enact procedures for going forward with legislative business with a reduced quorum if fleebagging can be demonstrated.
Interesting notion.
What state are they in? What are the residency laws there? In NY its just 30 days (ask “yeah I’m a carpetbagger, so what?” Hillary).
