No Comments »

Omaha.com reports that “talk is swirling in the State Capitol that the Nebraska Legislature might wrap up its business early and adjourn the 2009 session three days sooner than anticipated. … That would mean sine die Friday, May 29, instead of the scheduled end of the 90-day session Thursday, June 4.”  State Sen. Mike Flood of Norfolk, speaker of the Legislature “emphasized it was too soon to tell whether the session could adjourn early.”  According to the story, “that could be determined only after seeing the progress remaining on the major issues.”  Bills dealing with abortion and the death penalty are still awaiting debate and could consume a large amount of floor time.
