2011 Legislative Session

Days 69 and 70 - Another couple of days of "same old, same old". Everything is sort of on hold now that the budget forecast is out and the state is short almost $800 million additionally. The budget writers will be very busy trying to find the balancing point. There are a lot of revenue ideas floating around right now, like legalizing marijuana and taxing it and the "25th" month. Incidentally, the last time the Legislature used the 25th month, it took 16 years to fix ... Not a real good plan.

I'm picking up Brock today for Spring Break ... Looking forward to that. Next week looks like it will be a fairy long grind with a cutoff coming on Friday and a lot of fiscal work to do as well. It's a fairly nice day over here, so maybe we'll be able to find something to do outside. Stay tuned for Monday ...
