Closing Days Around the Corner
The Senate is still bogged down on SB 191. Tuesday and Wednesday are the last days that bills originating in the Senate can pass without unanimous consent. Many suspect that if SB 191 is still around after Wednesday, the session will be dead. The only way that important legislation could pass this year would then be during a special session.
It has been said by many that the budgets may need to be delayed so that future revenue reports from the next couple of months can be examined. They may reveal that many noted budget cuts could be avoided. That is if those reports show positive gains.
So in tight financial times, the Senate’s solution is to waste an entire regular session playing stupid games, then cost the taxpayers another 300,000 - 500,000 dollars for a special session. Guess that 61% pay raise was not enough to actually get some work out of you clowns - Way to go
