If you can go missing from your job for over a month evidently you are not needed.

Democrats have always been derelict in their duties, they just are making it more visible now.
To: goodnesswins; indylindy
I do with that Governor Daniels would look into that possibility.

They should be denied pay and new people installed in their places.
They can either participate or get lost for good.

Question for FReepers: Is this pattern of Democrat Legislators leaving their jobs and now having occurred in multiple states, going to backfire big-time on the Dems poltically? IOW, will there be a severe voter backlash against the Dems for, what amounts to, shirking their responsibilities? Or, will they be rewarded politically for being “heroic”?
Personally, I think it’s going to be the former.

Frankly the entire US would be better off if both dems and republicans would stay away from the legislature and stop passing all these silly laws the seem to wind up voting in when the legislature is in session.

In the Army, when you have been gone that long, you are declared a deserter and the US Marshalls are sent out after you. You come back, are court martialled for desertion and given a bad conduct discharge.
These guys are deserters, so it’s time to round them up, bring them back in handcuffs and leg restraints, try them and imprison them.
To: zot; Interesting Times
I guess the Dems have decided that not representing the people is the best way to represent them. Or their version of “I’ll hold my breath until you agree to do what I want to do.”

Time for the GOP brain trust in IN, such as it is, to come up with something novel and painful for the absent rats. Gentlemen, it's time to turn the screws and make ‘em shout ‘UNCLE.’

“Time for the GOP brain trust in IN, such as it is, to come up with something novel and painful for the absent rats. Gentlemen, it's time to turn the screws and make em shout UNCLE.”
But don't emulate the GOP in Wisconsin which, after a lot of tough talk, forgave all the fines and penalties after the Dems came back. No penalty for all of the misbehavior.

I missed this completely because I didn’t even know they’d gone. The media isn’t doing a very good job per usual.

Their salaries for their legislative session have already been paid.....not sure about the per-diems. The teachers' union are funding their stay.
In Case You Missed It....
........
Meanwhile, IFT President Rick Muir was shockingly honest about union efforts to pay Democrats hotel bills in Illinois.
Rick Muir, president of the Indiana Federation of Teachers, said he expects a compromise on most bills. I wish they could stay out until they defeated these bills entirely. My gut tells me thats probably not reality, he said. He said unions are sending money from member political contributions to the state Democratic Party, which is helping pay the expenses of the absent Democrats. Wall Street Journal........
Wonder how they'll come up with the $350/day fine that is now imposed.

The Governor should declare the seats vacant because the rats are no longer residents of their respective districts and appoint replacements and go on with the business of the people.

It’s ok to disenfrachise Republican voters but not commies.

To: Libloather
Wisconsin law considers failure of an elected official to attend to his duties for 30 days constitutes abandonment of the office and it is declared vacant.
I think every state should have that provision, although 30 days may be too long. I would endorse two weeks as reasonable, and I assume the absence does not trigger the application of the law in case of injury or illness.
Knowing the creativity of elected criminals like Reid/Pelosi or their ilk, "out of state" suddenly scheduled fact finding missions must be limited to no more than a week, and not more than two per active session. Miss emergency sessions at your own risk.
