JUNEAU — Lawmakers are being warned that if they do not gavel out on Sunday, workers will be adding the roar of jackhammers to the end-of-session din in the state Capitol.
The executive director of the Legislative Affairs Agency, Pam Varni, said structural reinforcement work will begin Monday at 7 a.m. and continue through 3 p.m., each day when contractors will stop making noise.
Varni says she’s informing legislators that they may want their meetings to occur later in the day as the noise will be disruptive and could be too loud for them to conduct business.
Session is scheduled to end Sunday but big pieces remained unresolved heading into the weekend.
Building upgrades will continue through the summer. Legislators are under contract to be out of the Capitol by May 2.
