But now -- about 2:30 p.m., the House has yet to act on its budget bill and the Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez has said the Senate will do its own budget bill.
House just recessed a few minutes ago for committee meetings. The Tax & Revenue Committee will begin working on a capital outlay bill.
Meanwhile, the Senate has been out for more than an hour. They're waiting, supposedly for a fiscal impact report on its own capital outlay bill, one that would use short-term "sponge" bonds to fee up $140 million in capital outlay money (which then would could that much of the general fund deficit).

House Speaker Ben Lujan said the next House floor session probably will start between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. The House Dems are about to go into caucus. House Republicans too.
It's gonna be another long one.
