Session Scoop: "Horseshoes and Hand Grenades"

al...most...there...

As you may have read, Midnight tolled on April 9 without the House and Senate having agreed on a budget bill, and leaving the 2012 session unfinished.

At a later point, a Special Session will have to be called to resolve these issues.

Here at the Scoop, after months of meetings, testifying, early breakfasts at Chick and Ruth's, more meetings, late night dinners, and more meetings...we're catching our breath. While the overall session came up a little short of the finish line, the bills we were most interested in made it out of committee, up for vote, and came back with favorable outcomes. So we're taking a couple days to decompress from the rigors of Session 2012.

We'll be back next week to update you on some of the bills we followed, and some other fun nuggets from this year's session.
