Perry: "We Don't Come Here to be Show Horses"


Some excerpts :

The hunt is on, Gov. Rick Perry, said this morning for the four-fifths vote the Senate needs to prevent a special legislative session beginning bright-and-early at 8 a.m. tomorrow. "There's still some hours in front of us to get some work done," Perry said.

If lawmakers in the Senate aren't able to marshal the four-fifths vote they need to bring up SB1811 again today and pass it, then the budget unravels — and Perry said a special session would start at 8 a.m. tomorrow. He said he hasn't decided yet which issues he would put on the agenda for a special session. But he noted that the governor is free to put any issue he or she sees fit on the list. Many expect that Perry would put the controversial sanctuary cities measure, which most Democrats despise, on the agenda for a special session.

"We work with a different set of rules during a special session, so that may be on Ms. Davis's mind," Perry said.
