THREE DO OR DIE VOTES LEFT:

1. House into the night

2. Senate in the AM Thu

3. Minneapolis City Council within 30d

[CalVike]

It just passed the House 71-60. 1:35 am in CA .. Later in MN. Go Vikes! I think Senate session starts 9 AM Central time.

So, to be clear, there is one main vote left, that being the Senate. Right? I assume the MCC will approve it if it gets to them. Correct?
