Important Events for the Coming Week
May 19th - 23rd
Negotiations continue on the FY '09 budget without any light of day, as yet.  The projected
deficit is creeping towards $2.2 Billion.  Arizona does have a significant deficit and we
anticipate negative impacts upon programs and clients.  We, like you,  anxiously await
further budget news.

The House and Senate have concluded the "usual" committee hearings.  Only the
Appropriations Committees will meet or others with committees may meet with permission
of the Speaker or President hearings.  Some bills that have been sent to a conference
committee may meet but there's usually very short notice on those meetings.  

At only committees meetings during the week will be Senate committees handling
confirmation of Executive appointments or conference committees.
