The Legislature, Day 48 - UPDATED

The pace in the House and Senate will pick up heading into Wednesday, the deadline for bills to cross from one chamber to another. I look at the volumes and types of bills, and mention some of the lesser-known proposals, in this article from The Associated Press.

* TABLE GAMES: The Senate Finance Committee expects to dive into the racetrack table games bill after the crossover deadline. In the meantime, there are several in-depth examinations of the issue, as well as this update from MetroNews.

* STATE ROAD FUND: The House passed Manchin's proposed relief to the state's main highway account, in the form of line item transfers to general revenue. Today's vote sends the bill to the Senate. The Charleston Daily Mail reviews both that measure and a related Senate-spawned item.

* FILM IT IN W.Va.: The Daily Mail also reveals the role of Jennifer Garner, the Charleston native turned Hollywood star, in shaping the proposed West Virginia Film Industry Investment Act.

* STREAM PROTECTION: The Charleston Gazette raises a red flag over a proposed bill addressing state stream protection rules.

* LANDFILLS: The Gazette also offers this view of a push in the Legislature for a new landfill in McDowell County that would accept out-of-state garbage.

The House convened Sunday evening in an effort to reduce the Day 50 crunch.

The Charleston Gazette also set the stage for this week's activities.
