Political notes from Free Press staff writers Terri Hallenbeck, Sam Hemingway and Nancy Remsen


6.03.2009

 

Long day's journey into night

The House has voted on the "companion" to the budget bill, but has yet to act on the "technical corrections" bill that fixes mistakes in various bills.

Among the must-have fixes: a typo that should have read $2,500 but instead read $1,250.

The pace is so painful that senators _ sitting by the side waiting for their House counterparts' changes _ are making motel reservations in anticipation that they won't want to be driving home at 11 p.m.
