Here is the latest......
Senator Burton spoke with the Speaker last night and urged him not to convene 
an Assembly session during the scheduled recess, since the Senate is not 
going to interrupt their vacation. Burton's request, in conjunction with the 
Speaker's trouble in getting enough of his members to return on their own 
dime (he didn't want the Assembly to pay for people to fly back from European 
vacations for 48 hours - and few members were willing to pay for it 
themselves), means there will probably not be a hearing on Hertzberg's Edison 
bailout plan tomorrow.
Since Hertzberg plan is different from the bill the Senate passed, Burton 
wants Hertzberg to include the Senate in discussions on a solution that can 
get passed in both houses. Since it is not expected to be any hearing on any 
bills/Edison bailout before both houses return from the summer recess on 
August 20th - we look  for negotiations to occur on extending the MOU's Aug 
15th deadline.
