Snow Day

By Sunlight Foundation & Participatory Politics Foundation

I’m in New England where, ironically, it’s been beautiful and sunny all weekend. But I hear there’s been a bit of snow in Washington D.C. At least, that’s the excuse those lazy senators and representatives (and the rest of the federal government) are giving for canceling their work day today and postponing all votes until Tuesday.

Anyhow, I’m postponing the weekly “The Week Ahead in Congress” post until Tuesday morning, so grab the RSS feed to stay on top of Congress’s legislative schedule. There should be some interesting stuff coming up in the latter half of the week, like a jobs bill in the Senate and a bill to repeal the health insurance industry’s antitrust exemption in the House.

If you’re in D.C., hit someone in the face with a snowball for me, and I’ll see you on Tuesday. Otherwise, I’ll be here throughout the day with links and updates on health care, jobs, financial reform and the rest of Congress’s agenda.
