Today is the last day of the regular session, otherwise known as Sine Die Day. The legislature has a lot to get through before midnight tonight, not the least of which is passing a balanced budget. Both chambers passed their version of the budget more than a week ago, and the conference committees have been trying to hammer out a compromise ever since. It should make for an interesting - and long - day in Annapolis.
If the General Assembly fails to pass a budget, they will go into a special session during which they can only work on the budget. Tired advocates, lobbyists, and legislators are hoping this doesn't happen. Either way, we'll know by tomorrow morning.
