Sticking to custom, the House and Senate are downshifting from an already fairly light schedule in deference to the holiday-shortened February school vacation week. The meetings of the House and Senate Ways and Means committees, sitting jointly, highlight a calendar that features only informal House and Senate sessions scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday.
