Legislative Update
As I write, we are headed into week eight of our nine week session. No agreement has been reached between leadership on allocations( final proposed budget amount) so no budget conferences yet. The budget has to be on members desks by March 10th to get out of session on time. Session is scheduled to end March 13th.
The House has proposed a property tax relief bill for the ballot. To date, the Senate and the Governor have both not released any proposed language.
It is looking like overtime and special sessions to me. Just what the members do not want during an election year. They cannot fundraise while in session.
It has been another crazy session.
