Special session? Yes.
House Speaker Joe Hackney just announced that Gov. Mike Easley is expected to call a special session at 7:30 p.m. And he has recessed the veto session until 9 p.m.
Looks like we're in for a late night.
Strategy-wise, it looks like they're aiming to pass some sort of compromise before acting (or not) on the veto.
