Is this week the end?

Mike Flood, Speaker of the Legislature, hopes so. The debate begins today and will attempt to wrap up the $334 million in deficit, a hearty sum to trim. Schools and courts will be paying special attention as the heads of potential cuts. Of course if Gov. Heineman exercises a veto the whole or a part they would have to reconvene to override, but his stance isn't clear. Regardless by the end of this week some things ought to be cleared up.
