Much To Do

Nov 16, 2020

Congress returns to Washington this week after a six-week hiatus for the election.  Since the end of July, we have only met for a few weeks, and the work we need to complete has piled up.  This Congress ends at noon on Sunday, January 3 when the new Congress will be sworn in and start all over again as any bills pending from the old Congress die.

A Do Nothing Congress

Oct 6, 2020

Congress was sent home by Speaker Pelosi last Friday without securing a deal with the White House or the Senate on the next COVID bill.  While we were told we might get a 24-hours’ notice to return, our calendar doesn’t show us coming back to Washington until November 16.
