Ind. Gov't - More on: House (sans Dems) has convened at 10 am

Updating this earlier ILB entry, WISH TV is now reporting:

Bosma announced the House Rules Committee would extend the legislative deadline for bills on their second and third reading until next Friday, meaning legislation previously considered by the body will not die as previously thought.

This does not mean, however, that the controversial right to work legislation would surface. It has yet to have a first reading, meaning it is not eligible for a second.

The vote to extend the deadline will be the chamber’s first order of business once a quorum is present.

[More] House has now adjourned until 1:30 pm Monday.

[More at 2:50 pm] Mary Beth Schneider of the IndyStar has now tweeted:

Dem leader Bauer says Ds not coming back this week; says Ds will not take their $155 per day expense pay while on walk-out.

Tea party to hold "Dems get back to work" rally Friday at noon on east side of Statehouse. If labor protesters also here, might not be good.
