Senate aiming to end session early

April 22, 2009 by senatormcconnell

Senate president pro tem Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, today proposed to move up Wednesday’s session to 11 a.m. from 2 p.m. in an effort to get the Senate’s $5.7 billion budget plan passed. McConnell said lawmakers want to have the legislative session end May 21, which would be two weeks earlier than normal. McConnell has advocated ending the session earlier in order to save money. The Senate has already furloughed for two weeks in an effort to save money.
