The problem will be finding floor time, especially in the Senate, where Supreme Court nominations, appropriations bills, (budget) reconciliation, and post-Katrina/Rita measures leave little time for anything else, ... Steroids are likely to carry over to next year.

I don't anticipate the Senate will leave it intact.

I think it will pass next week. It fell apart when the Lt. Governor adjourned the senate because they did not have a quorum.

I need more time than that to research my options. I'd like to serve in the Senate. I'll probably make a decision in May or June.

Office hours can be completed from the time the senate meeting ends on Wednesday nights until 2 p.m. of that next Wednesday.

It was pretty interesting; we actually had enough time to go see both the House and the Senate in session. We also had a chance to go see the representatives and senators that we wanted to see; of course none of them were in their offices, but we did get to talk to their aides.
