Atmosphere for a special session credits long wrap up
The air at the Statehouse is roiling over a 700 million gap between projected revenue and required spending. Legislators consider tax increases to close the shortfall as they debate the need for a longer wrap up or a possible special session.

The tradition of a 90 day session exists but is not constitutionally fixed, allowing lengthier sessions in odd or even years by resolution.
