"The meetings don't hurt," Tsafos said. "But I don't think it really moves the dial."

I wonder if these two are still on the "expert witnesses" list that will be called by the Senate Conoco caucus.  I`d love to see hear their tax and gasline and market advice vs Brena and Ruggiero`s.  But the outcome of a true vetting of SB26 will probably not be supportive of the Conoco caucus` expectations. 
So don`t expect a real vetting of the House`s work in truly refining SB26 into a real and ROBUST fiscal plan, and not another one that spends hard fought-for savings, and kicks the can down the road for another year. 
The Senate has no plan but to lay the heaviest burden on those who can least afford it by calling the "dividend cut-only" raid on the PFD a "fiscal plan". That hasn`t been demonstrated yet to the voting public. And we`re waiting..
