Cutoff

Today is House of Origin cutoff (HoO, for the acronym-minded among you). House bills must pass out of the House today to stay alive (just as Senate bills must pass out of the Senate).

Word from our bosses is that the House will gavel in at 9:00 this morning and start the day off by caucusing on a couple of local-option tax issues we didn’t finish last night: House Bills 2912 and 3179.

After that, it's anyone's guess. We'll keep you posted.
