It's July: no politics until August.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!

Special Session - Not?

You Pawlenty supporters out there may be spared after all. Despite the Governor's many invitations, Representative Erik Paulson (House Majority Leader) and Senator Dick Day (Senate Minority Leader) are both saying no to Pawlenty's latest proposal for a Special Session.

Steve Sviggum, Speaker of the House, would appear to be the one hope of the stadium supporters. In an interview on Taxpayer's League Live, Sviggum obviously was not concerned about public opinion or opposition. But to overrule his Majority Leader could cost him the Speakership. (Hmmm, maybe we should have a Special Session...)
