Senate Recesses While Discussions Continue On Severance Tax

The Senate just recessed to the call of the President Pro Tempore. The Senate has no scheduled voting days between now and the election, but it can be called back into session at any time by the Pro Tempore.
Discussions between the Senate, House and the Rendell Administration continue on the Marcellus Shale natural gas production severance tax, so the issue is not dead.
There is an intent by the Senate to come back into voting session to act when (or if) discussions lead to an agreed-to severance tax package, as long as it happens before election day.
