The Senate has adjourned for the evening and they seem no closer to a deal than before. The fact of the matter is Abel Maldonado (love him or hate him) did not vote for the deal. Even if he had they would still be another vote short of what is needed to pass the bills in question. The midnight deadline means that the Prop 98 guarantee for school funding increases by $3 billion for Fiscal Year 2009-10. We will see if anything new develops as the session is set to begin at 10:00 AM tomorrow.
