The Republican-led House Administration Committee meets in Austin today to discuss the fines levied on last summer’s runaway Democrats.
Dozens of Democrats broke quorum and fled the state to obstruct a vote on congressional redistricting.
The chair of the committee notified most of the Democrats in January that each of them owes a seven-thousand-dollar fee for being absent, plus another two-thousand to reimburse the state for the cost of bringing them back to Austin. So far, all of the Democrats have failed to pay up.
