Day 90 without a real budget. Another deal was announced today by the Governor and the leadership of the Senate and House Democrats. Supposedly, this time, the deal will stick and the votes are there to pass it. I don’t think that much changed from the last announced deal but I will learn more on Wednesday when the Senate is back in session. We were told today that we would go into session on Wednesday and stay until the budget is done. The Governor said that he wants it done by Sunday, I don’t think that it will be until Monday or Tuesday. The House Republicans are reportedly still not on board so the House D’s will have to come up with almost every member to pass these bills. This entire situation has been a mess from the beginning and it looks like it will be a mess at the end.
