With the end of this week, lawmakers will continue working on a new state budget while the full House and Senate consider all the bills that cleared committees.

This House of Horrors can't shut down soon enough. "No man’s life, liberty, or property are safe while the Legislature is in session.” — Judge Gideon J. Tucker, Final Accounting in the Estate of A.B. (1866).
