I just checked their website.  They show a calender , indicating dates that
have events.  It shows that they meet every Wednesday and that yesterday -
the day they decided major budget issues - was scheduled for a Legislative
meeting, just like every Wednesday, and with no details ever specified.  I
don't see anyway on the website to know what is actually going on.  i
checked the Minutes archive and the last entry was June16.  So I think it
will be quite awhile before they get the info put on their site.
