Is the Special Session Going to Happen?

From the Strib:

Gov. Tim Pawlenty has scheduled an announcement at 3 p.m. regarding a special legislative session.

Pawlenty has said he could call a one-day special session for as early as Tuesday if he and legislative leaders could work out an agreement on language.

Earlier today, Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller sent Pawlenty a letter asking for the one day session to deal with flood relief in southeastern Minnesota.

“No surprises. No excuses. No delays. Please call a special session,” Pogemiller wrote.

This is crucial; let’s hope Pawlenty has come to his senses.

  1. 1 1 Bill

    Special session tomorrow.
    No tax bill
    no transportation tax increase
    no new lga for minneapolis

    The governor wins big again.

  2. 2 2 Big Kahuna

    I better hear tomorrow that the Gov held to that Bill.

    The tax and spend DFL is so out of control we are lucky to keep any of our paychecks as it is.

    LGA best be completely off the table!! We have two major cities whos’s spending is so out of control they fund social and neighborhood project before Fire & Police. Rooftop gardens are more important to these folks than basic needs.

    I hope the line is held on LGA and the people who live in the cities can find out how much it really costs to have all the programs they want.
