Half-way there?

Day 9 of the 17-day special session and the biggest beast of the session is starting to move.

The supplemental appropriations bill, basically the replacement for the current state budget and the mechanism to reduce the state spending to offset massive revenue losses, is now out of the House Appropriations Committee.

Next, it goes to the full House for consideration (a.k.a., "argument," or "floor fight").

So far, senators and representatives have filed 267 bills in the special session, not counting resolutions.
