Special Session?

In March, someone described the state budget process as "a complex, mind-numbing process."

Special sessions to fix technical glitches sometimes answer to description too but they are much shorter (one hour vs. 45 days), and thus more endurable.

The Senate Leadership team believes it would be prudent to meet on the day of our regular committee meetings on May 20th to fix some of the budget language. This would include the line item the Governor had to veto for technical reasons. E-mail me if you want more detail.

To do this the Governor would have to call us into Special Session; he is considering the request.
