1. It is about time.

They only were holding up 41 million to the schools. I think some legislators finally realized voters with kids at home because of closed schools versus voters being at work was a REALLY BAD THING.

I am sure they are going to replace the property tax issue shortly. They are dicking around with Pittsburgh's bankruptcy too, and I am sure Rendell will win on that one too.

Later,

2. The slots issue should be decided next month or February

The sticking point has been granting the Delaware Indians rights to one or two casinos.
