Elvis hours in the Minnesota House

Posted at 12:57 PM on April 18, 2007 by Tom Scheck

Up all night! Sleep all day!

The Minnesota House is taking up their budget bills this week which means state lawmakers, House staff and the press corps is going to be awfully tired at the end of the week.

There appears to be a legislative stare down between the GOP and DFL in the House. Make no mistake, DFLers are offering plenty of amendments on these budget bills but the GOP is all too happy to debate every amendment to death. The House hopes to take up the E-12 education budget bill and the state government finance bill today/tonight. They also have the higher education bill, the economic development budget bill and the health and human services budget bill to go. They hope to finish all of the bills by Saturday and take up the Tax bill next week.

Up all night, sleep all day!
