When Indiana House Minority Leader Brian Bosma’s media availability began this afternoon his Property Tax Cap Countdown Clock showed 6 days 11 hours 14 minutes and 50 seconds remaining till next week’s 3rd Reading deadline for action on bills passed by the state Senate. 

During the availability, Bosma suggested that he will reset the clock when it hits zero to reflect a new deadline, the end of the 2009 session of the General Assembly.  (That’s a move that would seem to contradict the purpose for the original deadline and the clock.)

Bosma also stated that he sees “no reason” for a Special Session this year.  That would eliminate a need to reset the clock a second time.

Regardless, when the availability ended the clock showed 6:11:05:20 meaning that the availability lasted just 9 minutes and 30 seconds.  (See the clock does serve a purpose.)
