The days are winding down, the Governor and the Republicans have come to an agreement in regards to the budget so the winding down process has begun. Today we a Committee of the Whole Calendar with the majority of the bills being budget bills. This will give Senators the opportunity to ammend, discuess, and debate these bills before they go to third. Right now its being estimated that we will get everything down by Thursday which will be great- but thats pending everyone agrees, no bills get held up either here or in the House.
So everyday has become like a waiting game- wait to see when floor will begin, wait to see what the schedule for the day will be. Now that we have neared the end - meeting requests have minimized as have my research efforts since most bills are either in the house or have died. I have started planning for my interim and what I can do to keep busy while the Senator is busy campaigning- any ideas?
It has been an interesting legislative session, to say the least. I'm sure your days seem considerably longer now that everything is winding down. As for ideas, I like the idea of reading a physical dictionary from begging to end; I'm sure something better will come to mind within a few pages.
