You know it's been an odd week when the Legislature rejects a plan to buy itself more time.

But that's where things stand as of this morning, and this week's Capital Notes Podcast examines the week so far, from stalled spending cuts to the specter of IOUs and beyond.

Capitol Weekly's Anthony York and I also take a look at the big news about the mayor who's not going to run for governor in 2010.

(And yes, the podcast was recorded late Thursday... so beware the shelf life should some budget breakthrough happen from here on out.)
