SENATORS PREPARING FOR TWO-WEEK SHUTDOWN

State Senators are wrapping up their last few days of work before shutting down for two weeks.  Even though lawmakers in the upper house have held debates and voting sessions since the new session started January 3rd, the House hasn’t been able to conduct business because of differing opinions on leadership. Late Friday, the Senate canceled its sessions for the weeks of January 23rd and January 30th in part, because the House had not organized itself.
