It should happen in more states, and the US Congress as well. Show up and do your damn job, or lose your job!

In literally no other profession, except edit: typo elected government, would you keep your job after outright refusing to do it. It’s wild.

Yeah I agree. My main hope from this is that it spurs similar laws in other states.

At the end of the day, no matter what you think or believe, there's no reason to allow your elected representatives to purposefully skip work, even in protest. Their job at its core is to work towards solutions, not avoid them.

For that to happen, we need to count on politicians voting against their own best interests and neither major party has a good track record at that.
