Word is there won't be a budget report read in tonight when session starts at 7:oo. Negotiators are still working, and plan to keep at it through the evening, but they're just not there yet.
Imagine - state lawmakers missing a budget deadline. Shocking, no?
Because we're in the middle of the two-year budget cycle, legislators don't need a continuing resolution to keep the lights on while they finish up. But a few programs could run into trouble without some kind of mini-CR. Mark Binker explains all that very nicely.
Check back later...
