Today the Senate Democratic Caucus gathered to plan for the upcoming 30 day legislative session. It was a regularly scheduled meeting to review budget priorities following the release of the latest revenue estimates, and discuss the legislative agenda.
The caucus also addressed the Whip position. A majority of members voted to vacate the position. The caucus will be meeting again sometime early in the new year to elect a replacement.
