#4 Virginia's legislature is in session right now - due to end 2/28.

Yesterday the Senate voted to not vote (as they were supposed to) on the severely tweaked second year of the biennial budget. Their reason? They think they're going to find out by next week how much ~~pork~~ Virginia is supposed to score in the ~~non-~~stimulus bill.

They're dreaming.

We're f*cked.

Wonder if they're going to have to stop the legislative clock again?
