A tweet from Governor Greg Abbott has raised the political stakes of a special session following the end of the regular legislative session.

On Monday, May 31, he tweeted, “No pay for those who abandon their responsibilities.”

He was referring to House Democrats who walked out late Sunday night, leaving the chamber without a quorum, before the midnight deadline to pass bills.
