Reliable state Capitol sources tells me it’s likely the House will have to concede to the Senate $11 billion budget plan adopted in the wee hours of the morning. It could take all day for the House GOP leadership to accept that. But if true, Gov. Janet Napolitano largely gets the budget she has wanted since January, and rank-and-file lawmakers have got to be asking themselves what they have been doing for the last six months.
   A final budget vote today also likely would lead to an immediate end of the legislative session, leaving a sizeable number of unfinished bills on the table.
