Today @NCCapitol (Feb. 2): Taking it easy
Lawmakers don't anticipate pushing through much legislation this week. Gov. Pat McCrory will give the State of the State address on Wednesday night.
Posted — Updated"It is anticipated that no recorded House votes will be taken on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday," House Rules Committee Chairman David Lewis announced on Thursday. Senate leaders haven't been that explicit but said they would dial back their work until after they hear from the governor in the State of the State address.
The House will meet at 4 p.m. Monday. The Senate is scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. There are no bills on either calendar, and no committee meetings are scheduled.
At noon on Tuesday, a group of bipartisan lawmakers, including Reps. Paul "Skip" Stam, R-Wake, and Grier Martin, D-Wake, will meet in the legislative press room to call for reforming how the state's legislative and congressional districts are drawn.
