Good morning. It's the Ides of March which may have some significance on this next to last day of the 2013 legislative session.Though committees continue to meet, the major action at this late date has to be in the chambers. In the House, which goes on the floor at 10 a.m., we'll be focused on #50 on the agenda, the ERB solvency plan as twice amended. It needs to pass on the floor and go back to the Senate for concurrence before noon tomorrow.The Senate is scheduled to go back on the floor at 10:30 a.m., with an agenda of 147 items. However, they will concentrate on the 80 or so House bills which still have a shot at making it through before adjournment.
