A meeting with Gov. Charles W. Turnbull demanded by the Senate last week for no later than this week has been scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday, March 16.
The Senate called for the meeting in response to reports of Government House criticism of the Legislature and to a letter from the governor stating that the senators had "inadvertently" omitted Personnel Division positions in the fiscal year 2000 budget.
Sen. Almando "Rocky" Liburd proposed the meeting to address all current government crises, not just the fiscal situation. That would include, he said, garbage hauling, schools, potholes, police and fire equipment, and any other current concerns. He asked Senate president Vargrave Richards to arrange the meeting.
Sandra Brunett, Richards' executive assistant, confirmed the date of the meeting, but she didn't have the agenda as of Wednesday, nor did Government House spokesman Lee Vanterpool.
