You would think that the Legislators would be embarrassed to inflict the cost of a special session when they're cutting into the bone on everything else!

Actually, they are not cutting things that need to be cut like tax exemptions and tax credits. The Comptroller provided a list of those.

The issue shouldn't be whether a special session is needed or not (theatrics), but the substance of the proposed budget itself.

It doesn't matter when the budget is passed, it will be a pile of manure.
