Fletcher calls special session. Will Richards immediately adjourn sine die?

The news is that Gov. Fletcher will call Legislators back in a special session on July 5th, in an "urgent need" to "advance the interest of all Kentuckians, in clean coal burning technology, renewable energy sources, such as biomass, wind and solar, as well as encouraging conservation", according to the Gov.'s letter. Many House Democrats have consistently suggested there is no need for a special session, which their Leader, Speaker Jody Richards, has called "a prescription for disaster" and "very political".

Since only the Gov. has the power to call a special session, Democrats have no choice but to respond to the special call. But nothing stops the Speaker from adjourning the session sine die once it starts.

Is that what, maybe, Speaker Richards has "up his sleeves"?
