Proposed GIF schedule has been distributed

As I previously posted, the proposed General Improvement Fund distribution law must be on the desks of each member for at least three days (Section 18 of the Joint Rules). It was placed on each desk late yesterday evening, and according to the rules, yesterday does count as day one. Therefore, we can theoretically move GIF out of the House on Friday. We stuck around until about 7:00 p.m. last night perusing the spreadsheet (it's now a habit to try and pick out any projects that may not pass constitutional muster) and waiting on bills to be read across the desk from the Senate. The schedule is 41 pages long and includes both legislative and executive numbers, and if you want me to look for a specific entry, shoot me an e-mail and I will do so.
