Will there be a special session for the Texas Legislature this summer?
Houston Community Newspapers Online - The Courier - 05/29/2005 - Capitol notebook: "There could be, but not because of school finance reform, according to Rep. John Otto, R-Dayton.
Otto, who's been in the middle of House and Senate negotiations on House Bill 3, which will provide new school funding revenues so property taxes can be cut, said a special session would be called only if the Legislature doesn't pass the state budget.
'This, House Bill 3, and House Bill 2 (which will change the school funding formulas) - those aren't absolutely necessary for us to pass,' Otto said. 'If we didn't pass them, the Governor would wait until the Supreme Court made its ruling to call us back into session.'"
