I was thinking about this, who is going to pay for it? The individual democrats or will they expense it out and make the people of Texas pay for it. If they make the people of Texas pay, lets look at the cost.
They showed up on Sunday and are returning on Friday, the legislation dies if no action is taken by Thursday night, so 5 days.
57 dems at 40/room/night = 2280/night x 5 nights = 11400.00 hotel
3 meals per day at 6/meal = 18 x 57 = 1026 x 5 = 5130.00 food
Also add in gas and entertainment and you can probably hit 20,000.00 easy.
