I saw somewhere they went to recess until 3 because there was a scuffle at the speaker's bench over something on local and consent calendar. Not sure what happened or who was involved.

Stickland was having some fun earlier, I kinda like that guy. I was listening to the Senate when the house went to recess though, so I'm not sure what happened.

It was passed in the House, but was ammended in the house. So the Senate has to vote on the ammended version.

So, that hasn't changed from what it is currently. Seems a shame they couldn't also help us old guys.
