It seems that today is the day- Sine Die will finally be happening. Floor started at 10 am only to recess 30 min later for caucus. Yesterday there was a conference committee in regards to SB 1449, short titled recall; primary; general election- the bill basically would reimburse ex- Senate President Pearce for the money he spent during his recall. Should be interesting to see how that bill turns out.
This has to be the strangest Sine Die- I have heard many others say the same thing. Generally, Sine Die runs into the late evening, this is the first Sine Die in at least 14 years that has happened during the day, at least that is what one assistant said.
Without my Senator here Sine Die is fairly easy for me- I just need to keep him posted on the occurrences of the day. Usually during those late night Sine Die's senators are running back and forth between the house, staff is every where updating Senators and preparing them for what may come on floor. Its almost eerily quiet , the calm before the storm. Tomorrow interim will begin and many of the Senators will be working on their campaigns for re-election or for Congress, leaving the Senate quiet this summer.
