The standard procedure is to stall everything for months and then complete the business in a flurry during the rush to adjournment in June (when the fishing season starts). Sometimes it gets rather comical, with state troopers dispatched to the airport to round up fleeing legislators to achieve a quorum.

C'mon, now, that was in 1982! We haven't had anything that wild happen since then. And that was when the legislature and governor were different parties; even as much public support as the governor has lost, the GOP majority in the legislature won't want to embarrass Uncle Frank anymore than they have to to get reelected.

It was pretty funny though.
