Senate president adjourned without appointing replacement; members expect return for veto session
Summary
A speaker at a meeting said Senate President Masterson adjourned the chamber without appointing a replacement, and members expect to reconvene for a veto session; the speaker also thanked staff for rushing to assemble amendments.
Commenter, a speaker at the meeting, said Senate President Masterson "adjourned without appointing a replacement" and that the chamber "can't unadjourn, so you can't put the honey back in the comb." Commenter added, "I guess we'll be back for veto session" and thanked staff "for trying to rush to get all of the amendments put together."
The speaker said Minority Leader Sykes had relayed similar information and briefly corrected a mistaken name, saying "Tyson, pardon me... Masterson adjourned without appointing a replacement."
