This was Second Deadline week in the House, which means it was another hectic week in which committees had to act favorably - by Midnight Thursday (yesterday) - on bills or companion bills that made it through First Deadline in the other body.
Among the major topics discussed this week were: dedicating funds for roads and bridges; authorization for the Enbridge pipeline moved forward; ranked-choice voting was debated; and the Ag bill had more debate than usual.
Now our legislators get a week off for Spring/Easter/Passover break, which began today and runs until 8 a.m. on April 9. Many legislators are likely to hold town halls, meet with local officials and constituents, and use this time as an opportunity to get feedback about how they are doing and what issues their constituency hopes will be resolved before the session adjourns.
