Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is offering up a suggestion on how to deal with Democrats who flee the State of Texas and how to prevent such action in the future from impacting a special session. Patrick s solution? Change the quorum rules.
The Lieutenant Governor took to Twitter on Thursday afternoon saying he supported a special session for August 8th and that quorum rules should be changed to a majority plus one, like it is in most states .
Patrick added that he believed voters would support the majority plus one plan. That way the Democrats would not be able to shut down a special session.
