Session Schedule

The House leadership has deleted more days from an already thin schedule. February has been trimmed to one week of session, which is unusual. We expect that a majority of the time in May and June will be used for budget negotiations, which makes session days from January through April critical.

Although a majority of May and June are used on budget negotiations, a lot of other legislative work will get completed in those months because of the 2010 elections. The legislative work that gets completed in May and June are the issues we are working on now.

We will continue to inform and educate members of the House and Senate on your issues.

Again, we thank you for your continued patience and trust as events occur in the General Assembly. Our strategies and goals for each of you are changing as well, and must be updated and revised as the legislative schedules change. As always, our office will continue to seek the desired results for our clients, your issues and your members.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions or if you need assistance navigating the legislative process during these uncertain times. We are here to assist you in getting in touch with your local House or Senate member. Meeting constituents may help calm the "raging waters" and a common ground can once more take shape.(Feb.26.doc)
