Legislators working on a Sunday?

The Legislature will be going on
vacation in a few weeks and the

Assembly obtained the support to
hold sessions on weekends before
the holiday break, to discuss
and approve a number of pending
legislations, including the

United States - and the Tax
Reforms.
One of the more important pieces
of legislation to be discussed
today is the "presupuesto

budget - that by law requires to
be approved before the end of
November.
