Meetings, mods and... not much more

This week, legislators will be in Olympia for Committee Assembly Days. Senate committees will convene today and tomorrow, some joint committees will meet Wednesday, and House committees will convene Thursday and Friday.

Other signs of life on campus – About a dozen House members were here this weekend as part of the “Committee on Committees” to work on potential changes to House committee structure and recommendations for chair positions. The House will vote on their recommendations later this week. Incoming freshman will be on campus all week for their orientation, and many legislators are scoping out their temporary office spaces in the the "mods," or modular office buildings, while the John L. O’Brien building is under construction.

Oh, and about that special session – still no decision.
