And now it’s the 96th day…

The House has started its session, after some initial milling about, and is taking up Health & Welfare budgets that top its Third Reading calendar. GOP leaders said they’ll do a few bills from the calendar, suspend rules and take up a few appropriations from the Second Reading calendar, and call it a day. The Senate, when it convenes, plans to run through bills from its Second Reading calendar. Neither house plans to go into its amending order today; both likely will finish their sessions by noon.
