Close But No Cigar on the Senate Conferees.  I was 3 out of 5 with my predictions this morning for the Senate conferees on the omnibus supplemental budget bill.  3 out of 5 will get you in the baseball Hall of Fame as a hitter, but it would make you a below average free throw shooter in the NBA.  At any rate, the Senate has named its conferees and they are as follows:

Senator Richard Cohen-Chair of Senate Finance Committee
Senator Chuck Wiger-Chair of Education Finance Division
Senator Tony Lourey-Chair of the House and Human Services Budget Division
Senator Tom Saxhaug-Chair of the State Departments Budget Divsion
Senator Michelle Fishbach-Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Finance Committee
