It's Friday...

And it's nearing the end of a very busy week. Members adjourned early this morning and will be back to the floor at 10 a.m.

Yesterday's game plan of running the 520 tolling bill changed. So we won't even venture to guess what we'll run today. But today is last call for most bills. 5:00 p.m. is the cutoff for all bills except those considered "necessary to implement the budget" (NTIB).

Right now, the House Health and Human Services Appropriations Committee is holding a public hearing on HB 2377, the temporary sales tax increase that voters could approve to pay for health care services and the Working Families Tax Rebate.

Rep. Eric Pettigrew, sponsor of the bill, and a lineup of health care advocates will talk to the press later this morning following the hearing.
