Lee Newspapers is reporting that the Republicans may revive HB 2, strip out full-time kindergarten, and pass it, then adjourn sine die.
Based on Sideshow Scott Sales' discussion of the possibility, it certainly seems well within the realm of the possible. In other words, the entire sixeightsixty-seven four bill approach was, um, just a giant damn game for no purpose.
I don't know how else to put it, Republican leadership in the House hasn't done a constructive thing all session. Every big decision has been made behind closed doors. Every public pronouncement has been vitriolic and divisive. Every move ill-considered.
The good news is that will only take a swing of a couple thousand votes to massively alter the playing field for next session.
