No targets, no news to share. The Capital Investments Conference Committee moved on to environmental issues yesterday and staff expected the meeting to adjourn by dinner time last night. And the Education Appropriations Conference Committee met yesterday afternoon, continuing its work on language differences in K-12 sections of their spending bill. Again, no one can talk about money since they lack necessary spending targets. Perhaps the news for the day is that both the House and Senate have canceled floor sessions for Friday and appear ready to take the weekend off.
Word is that legislative leaders are getting even farther apart on spending targets.
So, folks, the prospect of an adjournment before Passover and Easter is nil.
