Special Session II

The likelihood of a special session has increased. Senator Dean Johnson, Speaker Sviggum, and the governor have been talking, trying to come up with a mechanism for calling the legislature back into session. As things stand now, the plan is to get several "working groups" together so they can hash out agreements on the key issues. There would be four or five working groups, working on the budget, the bonding bill, sex offender/criminal issues, the stadium issue, and possibly a garbage group that will take up everything else.

Senator Johnson is going to talk with his caucus and possibly report back tomorrow afternoon. Stay tuned.
