So the House and Senate are at loggerheads over the budget and it's unclear when lawmakers will wrap up the session.

It's anyone's guess, but the legislature's bill drafting director Gerry Cohen does offer some historial information on when sessions end help you make your best bet in the office pool.

* 2008: July 18
* 2007: August 2
* 2006: July 28
* 2005: Sept. 2
* 2004: July 18
* 2003: July 20

In 2001, redistricting pushed the session end to Dec. 6.

Correction: The post now states the correct reason why the 2001 session ran until December.

bniolet says "It's important to note that in 2001, when the legislature was coping with a recession, budget negotiations pushed the session all the way to Dec. 6."

actually the 2001 budget was adopted September 26, 2001. It was redistricting that prolonged the session to December that year.
