The Clock Is Ticking
I'm still waiting to see if I'll be forced to go on an unplanned vacation next week. The Minnesota Legislature still has been unable to reach agreement on a budget and next Thursday looms as the deadline. If no budget is passed by June 30, my department will shut down except for a few essential functions. I remain optimistic that it won't come to that. Even if it does, I have some vacation time upon which I can draw, but I was hoping to save that for Europe. Politically, I can't see how a shutdown would be anything but a disaster for both parties. Let's hope everyone involved can find some common ground. There will be time enough for posturing afterwards.
