Statehouse Update (3:00 p.m.)
I’ll be filing these throughout the day. Here’s what I know so far. A number of lawmakers say things are still “close” as far as working out their final hang ups on unemployment insurance and whether reclassifying independent contractors as full-time employees will be part of the deal.
As on lawmaker put it to me, “We are making meth. We’re either going to get a final product, or it’s going to blow up in our faces.”
Lawmakers have still been meeting behind closed doors all day. And I’ve got several sources keeping an eye for me on when they’ve got a deal. Once they get something, I’ll get something. And when I get something, so will you.

I can respect a single standard either way, but is there a particular reason it's o.k. for the General Assembly to work behind closed doors but for any other unit of government's legislative body it's a horrible thing?
