If it causes a special session it would... (0.00 / 0)

Keep in mind if the budget fails, we come back in a Special Session. 

If you've been watching, you know that there are about $500 million dollars of stuff (good and bad) floating around that might be in this budget now that got put there by the conferees. 

I assure you if there is a special session, all that stuff will actually be debated in the light of day, and some of it wouldn't survive.

In a special session, you start from scratch and do a complete "do over".

Right now, it's only an up or down vote.

There's a lot of members who'd like to get a second shot at this budget, cuz it's easier to do AFTER you know what legislation has passed.

Has anyone thought.... (0.00 / 0)

About having a rule that doesn't allow the budget to be passed or the conferee report approved until a certain say 2 week period after all other legislation has passed out?
