FLASHPOINT for May 30, 2007

Wednesday, May 30, 2007 | 7:21 a.m.

The legislative session is over. Oh, the 63 lawmakers are still there. But, for all intents and purposes, it is over. The budget deal announced Tuesday by Gov. Jim Gibbons and legislative leaders ensures that the process now just needs to work itself out. Bills need to be printed, lobbyists need to sneak in a few more trinkets for their clients, hiccups need to be resolved. But it is over. Oh, there is that small issue of transportation funding. But don't worry - that issue is over, too. The governor's bill is dead. Business lobbyists who supposedly had come to the table are slowly pulling back their chairs. Not to worry, though. They may finish on time. They may get a few more dollars into education. And no taxes will be raised. Honk if you are thrilled.
