The end is nowhere in sight

Nancy Badertscher, over at the AJC’s Gold Dome Live, is reporting that

The Legislature is temporarily moving to a three-day work week and now expected to end the 40-day session in mid- to late April.

Lawmakers had planned to meet this week through Friday, but voted to end the week on Thursday and then go to a three-day week for two weeks, or through March 25.

Mid-to Late April means the general session will probably end pretty close to this year’s qualifying period. There’s going to be a lot of grumpy legislators who won’t be able to start fundraising for their re-elections. But, they are doing the people’s business so I guess it’s better that they stay and get the budget fixed so the people can get on with their business.

So if you’re sitting on some dough and want to give it to a good Democratic candidate, then pass some change over to Mike Freeman who is the only Democrat running in the 9th District (Flip Flopper Nathan Deal’s seat). Freeman is running against like 8 bazillion Republicans and can use your support. Contribute here. If Perdue gets his act together there will probably be a special election sometime in May.
