Derelict Democrat lawmakers punished with paycheck restrictions

Texas is punishing the Democrats who ran from their duties. The derelicts must now pick up their paycheck in person, forcing them to return to work if they want to get paid. CBS News reported:

Texas House members who left the state to block a Republican redistricting bill aimed at adding five GOP congressional seats will be required to collect their monthly paycheck and per diem in person, House Speaker Dustin Burrows said Thursday.

"Direct deposits will be suspended for these members until the House restores a quorum," Burrows stated in a memorandum to House members and staff of the 89th Legislature.
