According to my Facebook feed, the House adopted a resolution to schedule the last four days of the calendar.
No word on whether or not the Senate adopted the resolution making April 20, 21, 27, 29 the final days to approve our budget.
Cause, you know, multi-billion dollar budgets can be drafted quickly and with ease.
One has full confidence they will approach this with the diligence, seriousness and importance it deserves.
I seriously wonder how those folks at the Gold Dome can draw their paycheck in good conscience. Something tells me they don’t really care.
(Something of an aside here: I’d be in favor of budget negotiations being done in private with the details only being announced after the fact. Why? Because especially in times like this, something has to be cut, and we all know that everything is a sacred cow and can’t be touched. Consequentially, whenever cuts are announced, someone is up in arms and we’re right back where we started. Reminds me of the episode of The Office where Michael Scott had to fire somebody and as soon as he did they all responded “you can’t fire me” and continued working at Dunder-Mifflin. Yeah that was funny. A lot funnier than how we create the budget for our state — which is also a joke.)
