Blogging from the Senate floor

Senate just voted to go into recess until 7:30 p.m.
We’re waiting to see if the Senate will pass the continuation budget on to the governor, which would give lawmakers another 30 days to arrive at a final 2009-10 budget. A spokesman for the majority leader says he’d rather see work on a final budget rather than voting on continuation.
(Meanwhile, on the House side, the first attempt to pass the K-12 budget was ended after it could not get enough votes to pass.)
As far as the regular budgets, Senators are waiting to vote on the corrections and general government budgets, which will come from the House. (General government includes revenue sharing.)
The Michigan State Police budget will originate here on the Senate side.
Rick Albin and I remain at the Capitol and will keep you posted.
