Everyone wants to know when the 2014 Legislation Session will end. But which Capitol insider will come closest to predicting when session will end?
According to Kevin Cate and Franco Ripple at CateComm, who have organized an online competition to reward the political aficionado who comes closest to predicting when Sine Die will occur, the average of all of the picks from lawmakers, reporters, and insiders indicates Friday at 7:26 p.m. will be the witching hour.
The earliest prediction (so far) comes from Alan Brock, who says session will end at 4:56 p.m. PR maven Ryan Wiggins’ prediction clocks in the latest at 11:13 p.m.
There are nearly fifty entries so far in the #CateSineDie contest with one from Speaker Weatherford, who predicted session could end “not soon enough.”
Closest to predicting when session will end without going over will win a $200 bar tab, if the prediction was made before noon on Friday, April 25. Participants can still make their predition or revise a current one by Wednesday. But if one of those picks nails the time of Sine Die, the prize is $100.
