The Democrats have given up the $125 a day they receive for expenses when the Legislature is in session...

Is it me or is the press treating this as if they are all on vacation? If it was Republicans doing the same, all we would hear about is government coming to a standstill, resulting in dying children, dying elderly, and the planet about to blow up.

The salary for a Texas State Senator/Rep is $600 a month plus very nice retirement benefits, but the trial lawyers have VERY DEEP POCKETS as we all know! Don't kid yourself on who is picking up the tabs for these rats.

The Reps should vacate the quorum clause like Bullock did, and just rip the TNRCC, TEA, etc., for the money to fund another session...as in your ear libs - OUR TURN after 130 years of being in the barrel!
