In a bold move to force absent lawmakers back to the Capitol, the Texas House just voted to revoke direct deposit access for the derelict Democrat members who fled the state. They will not receive their paychecks until they physically return to Texas grounds.
But that’s not all — each absent member is being charged $500 per day for every day they remain away. The fines are stacking up quickly, and frustration is boiling over in Austin.
This comes after weeks of political gridlock, with Democrats breaking quorum to block voting legislation. Texas leaders say enough is enough, and this latest measure is designed to hit where it hurts — their wallets.
The standoff has ignited fierce debate across the nation. Supporters say the lawmakers abandoned their duty and deserve the consequences. Critics claim the move is political retaliation.
