Day 15 - Sitting back on the House Floor waiting for the day to start at the scheduled 9:00 am. It looks like we have about 12 bills to run today, but the real question is "Will we be working on Thursday"? We couldn't get an answer to that question last night. We've Caucused on all but three of the bills on today's Calendar and should be able to run them quickly, but if history is any indication, the Democrats will have to Caucus for two hours on the various bills, then break for lunch and then run a few bills in the afternoon. Frustrated doesn't even begin to describe my mood this morning.
We've heard that the Democrat Majority wants to run the Capital Budget this morning; unfortunately for them, we can kill HB 2020 if we don't give them 3 votes. That gives us a little power to negotiate for Workers Comp Reform. Based on everything I've heard the last two days, we could be hear a really long time. I still think the Democrat Majority is holding out for the June 16th revenue forecast and hope for some sort of indication revenue is going up. If the last few months are any indication, revenue will not be going up and then the real decisions will have to be made.
