Special wish from Gov. Perry
Gov. Rick Perry, for one, looks forward to next Tuesday when the Capitol could be empty of lawmakers since the 140-day session must end by midnight Monday.
Perry, addressing a group in North Austin this morning, said: “Hopefully a week from now they’ll be gone.â€?
He said afterward that while he has the power to call a 30-day special session, he has no immediate plans to use it.
“We have plenty of time to get school reform, a tax bill, a budget done, workers (compensation reform) and have a very successful session. That’s what I think everyone is focused on, not on the what ifs, if the sun doesn’t come up tomorrow.�
He wasn’t pressed for inklings on sunrise (or not).
