((It was quiet outside the Supreme Court Monday evening when the news came: there would be no decision from the nine justices tonight.
But it was a far different scene earlier in the day, when the area outside the highest court in the land was more like a zoo ... with Gore and Bush supporters joined by advocates for nearly every other cause.
As arguments got underway, Justice Anthony Kennedy got right to the point.
"Can you begin by telling us our Federal jurisdiction here? What is the Federal question?"
At issue: did the Florida Supreme Court go too far when it ordered a manual recount in the pivotal Florida election? The justices peppered the lawyers with questions about which ballots should be counted dented, dimpled or punched through all the way?
O'Connor: Why isn't the standard the one that voters are instructed to follow for goodness sake? It couldnt be clearer why dont we go that standard.
As the court deliberates, the Republican-lead Florida Legislature forged on with its plans to intervene in the election. State House and Senate committees both approved plans to assign the states 25 electors to George W. Bush. A full House vote could come Tuesday.))

There's also five million dollars for some performance bonuses.

The Governor believes localities can fund four percent raises themselves, with money saved on Virginia Retirement System contributions-- because the stock market did well this past year.
