    Its symbolic.

    Getting their allowance docked is only going to be an inconvenience. Texas hardly pays its legislators a princely salary, they get IIRC about $7,000.00 per year plus per diem. All of those guys have other income that will tide them over very well.

    There'll be a special session called to deal with this issue and and redistricting. It will eventually pass.
