Break time
House and Senate budget negotiators have headed home for the weekend. They plan to reconvene at 10 a.m.
My sense of things is that progress has been made through the easy stuff, and now they need to start working through the slightly more contentious issues. Negotiators still say they expect to have a deal done by the end of next week.
You can hear my colleagues Matt Willoughby and Eszter Vajda and I chat about what's doing with the budget and other things this weekend on Legislative Week in Review.
