Lawmakers have plenty to do before session ends Thursday

Lawmakers had one thing in mind when they began the 2014 session: Finish on time.
Three special sessions in 2013 left them physically exhausted, mentally drained and to some extent tired of seeing each other.
It seemed every Democrat and Republican in the House and Senate made it a priority to wrap up work in their constitutionally allotted 60 days. Thursday is Day 60, and there remain a bundle of bills legislators are trying to agree on. One — a transportation funding package —is pretty much out of reach.
