Eye exams, budget, minimum wage and the race is on

The honorables are definitely pushing to get out of town by a week from today. Whether they’ll make it or not, who knows, but they’re putting on a good show.

After passing the budget update, the House and Senate took two different routes.

The House stayed late Friday to take up a passel of bills. Among those was a modification to the infamous eye exam provision from last year’s budget.

The Senate decided to work today, and will take up the minimum wage boost in committee today, among other items.
