During the Democrats' hiatus from the Senate, Republicans applied every pressure they could think of to bring them back. They withheld their paychecks, fined the Democrats $100 each for missing a session day and put Republican senators in charge of Democratic staff.

Those fines will not be collected and the other measures will not be carried out, Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald said he'd received assurances from Democrats that they would participate in future session days, relieving his fears they would again leave the state to prevent passage of the state budget later this year.

The stupid party lives up to its reputation again.
