Capitol View

Like a worm crawling across the United States

Posted at 8:35 PM on May 17, 2008 by Tom Scheck

GOP Senate Minority Leader Dave Senjem used those words on Friday when asked to characterize the pace of budget talks. DFL House Majority Leader Tony Sertich was asked which state the worm would be in if he started crawling on the East Coast (Yeah yeah!). His response: "The western edge of Colorado."

Nothing significant has happened since the announcement of the Health Care Reform package. The Tax Chairs just headed into the Governor's office with legislative leadership.

For the record:

Lawmakers have until midnight Sunday to pass legislation.
