Statehouse Update – 4:30 p.m.
The House is in session. They are going through committee reports. I am still waiting to get my hand on a copy of the budget lawmakers will work with tonight.
I do feel a sense that they might actually get out of here on time, mainly because they don’t have a choice and either way the Governor wins this round.
If they don’t pass and a special session is needed, Daniels wins because he can lambast them for not doing their job. If they pass a budget, it will be his budget and he can declare victory.
Not a bad place to be.
There are 7 1/2 hours left before lawmakers are scheduled to adjourn.
