‘Trying to neck this thing down’
The House Majority Caucus just wrapped up a 35-minute closed-door meeting, and topics covered include the question of a cost-of-living adjustment for PERSI; the Land Board's upcoming vote on education funding this afternoon; the budgeting timetable for the session; and the need to submit bills by Monday's deadline for bill introductions in non-privileged committees. "We talked about we are serious about deadlines for introduction," said House Assistant Majority Leader Scott Bedke, R-Oakley. "We're trying to neck this thing down and get out of here." Senate Republicans have scheduled a caucus meeting for tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.
