Finally. Sine Die.

We made it. Barely.

After an intense final day, the House and Senate adjourned sine die early this morning. Legislators are leaving Olympia with a balanced budget and some big wins under their belts including passage of the basic ed funding bill, expansion of rights for domestic partners, strengthening of payday lending regulations, and more.

If you watched us on TVW last night, or followed legislative news in the blogosphere, you know there are still some issues left on the table. Legislators will have to come back for a special session but as of 10:41 this morning we don't have any details on when that will be.

Many legislators will now be packing up and heading to their district offices. And catching up on sleep.
