Much ado about nothing

After nearly two weeks of special session, it would be wonderful to report the road home is clear. Unfortunately, the light isn’t shining too brightly yet.

The House returned April 26, passed a handful of bills that had already been passed and, for the most part, went home. They returned this week for another floor session, and the House Ways & Means Committee held a full day of public hearings and executive session Thursday, May 5.

Most of the Senate also showed up for the start of special session, holding short floor sessions nearly every day last week and this week. The Senate Ways & Means Committee has held a couple of public hearings, and finished business Thursday before noon.

Both the full House and Senate will be back Monday, May 9 for floor action.
