Let the Countdown Begin

Word around the Capitol is that this is the last week of the 2009 Legislative session. Realistically, it won't happen this week. There are just too many bills to get through. Today debate is taking place on drainage districts, fee increases for nursing homes and creating new community programs in Iowa that have a 'green' affect. The Senate is waiting to get bills from the House, including any bills that are bounce backs having first passed the Senate, then gone to the House are are back in the Senate. The Governor's bonding bill hasn't been seen either. So much for the Democrat's April 2nd deadline.
