The legislative session must end at midnight and a budget deal between legislators and the governor seems unlikely. The House passed a bill to change the way the seat belt law is enforced and debated medical marijuana for the first time. Over the weekend lawmakers failed to override the governor's vetoes.

I was surprised to read Rep. Siefert's latest blog submission. I'm not sure what's with all the doom and gloom considering he told his local Marshall paper that he is optimistic that the legislative session can end on time.
We're awfully busy with end-of-session negotiations, so I must be brief. Here's what I offer to the blog world at this critical juncture.
The following is an exhaustive list of what minority leader Siefert and his caucus have brought in a positive manner to the 2007 legislative debate:

The following is an exhaustive list of what minority leader Siefert and his caucus have brought in a positive manner to the 2007 legislative debate:
- Rep. Cornish brought everyone cake on his birthday.
- Rep. Finstad's kids stop by the floor once in a while (they're really cute kids.
- With all of Rep. Siefert's random rants on the floor, I've been able to catch up on my constituent email.
- Rep. Berns' kids visit, too, and they're just as cute as Finstad's.
- Bipartisan support for the Education, Public Safety, Environment, and Agriculture bills.
A point of clarification, Rep. Siefert mentioned that 4 of the past 7 years have resulted in special sessions. Oddly enough, he forget to mention his party was in control at the time.
