The Texas House Democrat trip to Washington, D.C., is costing thousands and the tab is growing. Author: Baylee Bates Updated: 8:37 PM CDT July 14, 2021
AUSTIN, Texas For a second day more than 50 Texas House Democrats remain in Washington, D.C., even though they re supposed to be in Austin for the legislative special session.
As tax payers, we pay them to work for us, but where is our money going now that things are at a standstill?
According to Rep. Brad Buckley (R-Salado) Texas tax payers spend a price tag with several zeroes for the legislative special session. Should they choose not to return and this session ends, the tax payers of the state of Texas will have spent a million dollars and the body has been unable to conduct any business, said Buckley.
Rep. Brad Buckley, R-Salado, referred to the Democrats flight to D.C. as âpolitical theatrics.â
âThey flew away on private jets, loaded down with beer and snacks, and theyâre having a grand old time in Washington, D.C.,â said Buckley, a Killeen veterinarian. âYou know, the peopleâs business for Texas is done in Texas, and they need to be here.â
Nancy Boston, chair of the Republican Party of Bell County, said she was disappointed by the Democratsâ decision to break quorum.
âI think itâs a shame the people who were elected skipped the state; theyâre not doing their duty. I think itâs below the dignity of the Texas Legislature to do that â to break quorum,â Boston said in a phone interview Tuesday. âIf they donât want to do the job, they shouldnât run for it.â
On Thursday, I visited the Capitol in an official capacity â as a member of the media.
My purpose at the Capitol was to cover the first day of the first special session of the 87th Legislature.
My fifth trip to the Capitol â on July 2 â was a trip I am glad I made. After obtaining my credentials that would grant me access to the House floor and to the Senate floor, I walked around and inquired about procedures with the sergeant at arms.
After conversing with him, he gave me a reminder: Wear a coat and a tie when you come for the session.
