The state Senate met yesterday in a rare Sunday session and a couple of bills of interest were dealt with.
The technical clean-up legislation to the so-called “belt-tightening” bill passed the Senate and now goes to the Governor for her signature.
In addition, the Senate refused to concur with the House changes to SSB 5760 which is our alternative public works legislation, paving the way to begin negotiations on a possible compromise bill between the two chambers.
House and Senate budget negotiators continued to meet to try and hammer out compromises on both the operating and capital budget spending plans as the final day of session is now less than one week away.
