House will gavel at 11 am for the big “jobs” special session; adopt rules, then slide into caucus

Don’t expect things to move quickly today, because lawmakers, like armies, move on their stomachs. After gaveling into special session, the House will adopt rules, then recess into caucus/lunch, where they will review the changes to the $516-million jobs bill that Republicans agreed to last night. The Jackson Labs piece of the puzzle, with an additional $291 million in state grants, is expected to start in the Senate, where GOP opposition awaits.
