Back in session at the Capitol Building. A lot of very tough decisions need to be made in the next two days. Decisions that will impact how next year’s budget will unveil itself. Michigan government will be reshaped by this Thursday.

Early thoughts: I’m a terribly concerned that legislators have had the past three days off. Saturday and Sunday sessions were canceled and Monday was lost to us because of Yom Kippur (Though I noticed the post office was delivering mail on Monday)

The House Majority leadership must be extremely certain that we can complete our work to avoid a shutdown. I wish I shared their confidence, this morning.

Time will tell, and I’ll keep you posted as things unfold today.
