Budget? Create jobs? Hello?
The House is working next week. According to the Journals, the Senate has spent a total of 12 days in session this year. Just a reminder, today is February 18th.

SR 13 - A resolution to urge the Governor to work with the Civil Service Commission to require that state employees either work on President's Day or take the day off as an unpaid holiday to reflect the state's dire financial challenges.
