[Resent id=8727905 2011-04-21 19:30:49 from davidtaylor] Day 102 - Here we go again, back on the House Floor waiting to see what if anying we'll do today. Yesterday we ran one bill ... that's one as in single, uno, 1. It's been pretty frustrating that past few days, but the end is near ... at least the end of Regular Session. According to the Chief Clerks Office, a full 30 day Special Session could cost the taxpayers as much as $426,000. In a year where every dollar matters, the Democrat Majority couldn't get their crap together and end the circus on time.
Looks like we'll be running a few bills this morning and finally get some work done. None of the bills are real big issues, but at least we're doing something. It still sounds like we'll finish the Regular Session Friday evening (sometime between 3:00 and 9:00 PM) and move into a rolling Special Session on Momday. Based on everything we're hearing, the House Democrats and Senate are lightyears apart, which could mean a long Special Session. Apparently the House and Senate will have an agreed list of bills necessary to implement the budget (NTIB), but getting to that agreed list may take awhile.
In case you missed it, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) found Boeing was retaliating against it's largest union when it decided to put a second 787 Dreamliner plant in South Carolina. Apparently, Boeing can remedy the complaint by building a new plant in Washington. Seriously?!?! This is incredible. Does the government want Boeing to relocate all it's operations to another Country? That's exactly where this ruling could lead. Wow!
We're making a Procedural Motion right now to move to the 8th Order of Business to consider Workers Compensation Reform. The motion failed, but we did get one Democrat vote with us and four other Democrats refused to vote. Things are getting very interesting ... I'd love to be a fly on the wall of the Democrat Caucus. Special Session could be all sorts of fun.
