The Republican constituents of these representatives have to talk with them about whether they are in the Big Tent or the wrong tent.
Voting to increase the gas tax by 83% after some of them voted to pass a 25% increase on the gas tax bill, not to allow a ballot question about a super-majority to raise taxes, and not to allow Right to Work has nothing to do with keeping their promise not just to run as Republican candidates, but also to vote as a Republican legislators.
