At the conference committee meeting Mr. Bishop, which finally convened past 7 p.m., said he was angry at the situation. “I’m absolutely beyond words as to how to explain this newest wrinkle in the process,” he said. “This is a complete reneging of the agreement.”

And he put the blame for what he said was the collapse squarely on Ms. Granholm, saying she needed to show leadership to resolve the situation which he said the worst example of runaway, out of control govern-ment he had ever seen.

Mr. Bishop said he was not giving up on the process, however, and recessed the committee meeting until 9 a.m., Wednesday, and said, “I hope the angel of common sense and reason comes down on all of you.”

That part is official.

Unofficially the buzz around town all day (coming from Republicans and Democrats... yes... I have friends in Lansing with a D behind their name) has been that the House and Senate actually had an agreement over the weekend prompting hopes of an official signed resolution today.  That agreement, the story goes, was scuttled by a sudden flurry of phone activitiy from the Governor's office.  As far as the "why," no one cares to go on the record at this point.  

Suppose time will tell.

Stay tuned TOMORROW now.
