The Capitol Press Corps banded together for a marathon day/night on the House floor Thursday. Representatives began debating HB 1, the general appropriations bill at 9am Thursday... but didn't approve it until 3am Friday morning --- SEVENTEEN HOURS later.

Our friend Harvey treated everyone to pizza around the time members got to page 74 of the 304 pages of amendments. These are some of the state's top political journalists doing what they do best... chowing down really fast before something important happens on the House floor.
(Note the Wheat Thins in my purse. I snuck them past the Sergeant-at-Arms so I could snack and work at the same time.)
