First day of session, again

After a short break following Thursday's adjournment sine die, legislators are heading back into Olympia for the first day of special session.

Legally, when the Governor calls for a special session, legislators can go up to 30 days. But the Governor has asked, and legislative leaders agree, the goal is to wrap up work in seven days. The focus will be finalizing the supplemental budget and reaching agreement on a package of jobs bills.

There will be a pro forma session today at noon, but no floor action is scheduled.
