A Texas Democrat said Monday the runaways will need $1.5 million to stay in D.C. until August 7 - while another member admitted it was a mistake to go maskless on private jets after five contracted COVID.
Fundraising efforts ensued last week to help pay for the trip as the group insists no taxpayer money is being used for their stunt.
State Representative Armando Walle told NBC News in a report published Monday that the cost of keeping the group of around 60 lawmakers in the nation's capital for the remainder of the special session would reach around $1.5 million.

Charter jets do not count as commercial aircraft for these (and many other) regulatory purposes. A number of conservatives have been resorting to charter planes to fly rather than wear masks - you can also carry guns on charter flights and do many other things that you can’t do on commercial flights.
There are plenty of nice suites with kitchens, just across the river in Arlington, for around $100/night, some with free shuttles to the grocery store so they can cook meals.
“ Make the bastards quarantine in a parking garage.”
Genius!
Probably getting EARLY treatment that others are prevented from having access to.
The fleabags are still getting legislator salaries.
That’s tax dollars right there in their pocket....... for not doing their job.
Are they putting in vouchers to cover expenses?
Using other tax paid perks?
$200/nite in DC is a flop house.
Relying strictly on bribes for this trip——- /sarc
“FleeBaggers vaccinated or not?”
Supposedly, yes.
Real morons .... Abbott will call another special session when this one ends .... and they are breeding.

Fire their staff
Stop their paychecks
Hold snap elections or appoint interim successors
Pass the election law
If they return, arrest and hold without bail as flight risk
It shouldn’t be called a vaccine then.
These people are disgusting.
Smallpox was eliminated with a 95% effective vaccine. It took two decades and nearly 100% global compliance for a 95% effective vaccine to stop the chain of infection. The V penetration rate needed for a 95% effective vaccine to stop the RT to extinction levels was 90% penetration that was exceeded world wide. While the smallpox eradication program was in progress tens of thousands still contracted smallpox and thousands died from the it even though vaccinated this is in addition to the tens of thousands who died from adverse events of the vaccine itself. Society came together and decided that via the social contract that those deaths were acceptable to society whit large and mandated the global use of the smallpox eradication program. The Supreme Court has upheld twice the legality of.forced vaccinations the first time specifically for smallpox in a 9_0 vote of my memory still works. So yes a 90+ % effective vaccine can wipe out a virus if the V penetration rate is high enough in the host population to take the RT down to levels where the virus runs out of hosts and losses it vectors of transmission.
I'm sure that, during his last days in the Bunker under the Reichstag, Hitler would have likewise agreed that "Operation Barbarossa" was a mistake.
Why should I care?

Absentee lawmakers would do this by filing a Declination of Remuneration by Elected or Appointed Officer form with the Secretary of State. The declination becomes effective on the date the form is filed with the Secretary of State’s office, explained Comptroller Hagar.
Anyone have the NAMES of the 5??? I wonder if they are Black or Hispanic.
NO...they are DEMOCRATS! LAWS are only for Republicans to follow.
No, I am saying that the COOF vaccine is nothing like the vaccines you are talking about. It's coverage is more akin to the flu vaccine than the polio vaccine. The COOF is endemic, like the common cold. There is just as much a chance of it mutating to be resistant because of the poke as there is someone being protected by it.
Isn’t there a motel in DC where the rat could earn their own room and board on their backs?
Has anyone else suggested sticking them in a parking garage with accommodations similar to those provided to the National Guard?
