Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has vowed to pay the fines for a salon owner who was sentenced to seven days in jail for violating the state’s stay-at-home order by opening up her business.
Patrick also offered to go on house arrest in exchange for her release. (Prior to her ordered release from the Texas Supreme Court on Thursday)
7 days in jail, no bail and a $7K fine is outrageous. No surprise Texans are responding. I’m covering the $7K fine she had to pay and I volunteer to be placed under House Arrest so she can go to work and feed her kids. #txlege #TexansHelpingTexans https://t.co/gdtMLAHFV5
