Pushing toward adjournment

Both houses of the Legislature are trying, in their own way, to wrap up the legislative session. But with the Easter weekend coming up, the Senate plans to quit at noon on Friday – Good Friday – and the House won’t be in session at all. Then, the Senate plans to take Monday off, while the House is in session. Still, both say the three-month legislative session could end next week. Today is the session’s 74th day.

Last year at this time, it was all over – the 2004 session was 69 days long and ended on March 20.
