Rep. Mayo's Report on the Special Session

We just came back from a recess that started at 12:30.  We came in a two, it is now 2:15 and we are taking a break til 4:30. 

The House passed its half of the general fund appropriation bills this afternoon and we are awaiting the senate's half of the appropriations.

The Speaker also announced that when we come back at 4 we may have word on a Medicaid solution shortly after that.

The House passed the Education funding bill which included full funding of MAEP as well as the teacher incentives.

Here is the location of the whole bill with an amendment that was added on the Floor

Unless the governor extends the session to Medicaid we will probably be gone sometime tonight.
