Rocky Start to Special Session

There were repeated deayas as lawmakes tried to hold together an agreement on pension cuts and tax changes.

 

It was originally hoped the session would only take a day, but Tuesday is now the earliest the session could be adjourned.

 

House Speaker Tina Kotel says the deal is still intact and that nothing had been removed at this point.

 

The sticking points for some lawmakers are the cost of living cuts to public employee retirement benefits and the agricultural regulation changes involving genetically modified crops from counties to the state.
