Vt. Legislative Session Should End This Week

Posted: Updated:
MONTPELIER, Vt. -

Vermont lawmakers say they hope to wrap up the 2012 legislative session this week.

House Speaker Shap Smith says it really depends on passing a state budget.

Legislators worked Saturday and expect to again this weekend.

Although Smith wants the session to end by Saturday, he's not 100% certain it will happen.

"That's my hope. I've been here long enough to know that there are always going to be wrenches that are thrown into the works," said Smith.

Smith says the state is covered if lawmakers have to stay in Montpelier beyond the weekend because the session is budgeted for another two weeks.
