Fletcher signs special session proclamation order.
Gov. Fletcher has signed a proclamation calling the Legislature back into a special session. The proclamation lists alternative fuels, restoration of many capitol projects vetoed by Fletcher from the last budget, as well as some new capitol projects. The session is expected to start at 4:00 P. M. this Thursday.
Meanwhile, Speaker Jody Richards is suggesting that the House is going to use the special session to investigate Beverage's allegations of bid rigging at the Transportation Cabinet.
However, I do NOT know how Jody plans to avoid the constitutional proscription against the Legislature taking up issues/items NOT contained in the Governor's proclamation, as Section 80 of our constitution provides:
He [the Governor] may, on extraordinary occasions, convene the General Assembly at the seat of government, or at a different place, if that should have become dangerous from an enemy or from contagious diseases. In case of disagreement between the two Houses with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper, not exceeding four months. When he shall convene the General Assembly it shall be by proclamation, stating the subjects to be considered, and no other shall be considered. (Emphasis is all mine).

Now let me see if I have this right...this idiot Governor wants to have a special session to pay for special projects that he vetoed in the first place...and he wants to do this so that he can pass out big checks across the state during the general election.....Brilliant!!!
