It's going to be a short week for one house of the Legislature.

The Senate just voted to convene Thursday at 11:45 a.m., as opposed ot the usual 2 p.m. meeting time. They'll probably be out of town not long before noon.

That'll leave just two full days of session this week, with Friday a scheduled off-day and the legislature only meeting on Monday for around 15 minutes due to bad weather.

More than a third of lawmakers didn't get into town until Tuesday this week.

House Majority Leader Bob Faehn just told me that the House intends to meet at its normal 2 p.m. time Thursday.
