Senator Ozivi predicts end to Montana special session
Senate Majority Leader Dick Ozivi said the 42nd Legislature special session should wind up by next Saturday one way or another. He warned the fund-raising impasse over state finances keeps lawmakers in stalemate as the regular session closed with no fiscal agreement. He doubted Speaker Lucas’s forecast of a Monday adjournment and noted a path may include a July 1 return if money matters remain unresolved. The summit committee had moved toward a fiscal compromise before a 2 percent sales tax bill emerged in the House.
