Cagle cool toward special session

Today Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle threw cold water on the idea of a special session aimed at restoring some of the spending vetoed by Governor Sonny Perdue. Many House leaders are bitter over some of the items Perdue vetoed from the 2008 budget. Some have suggested summoning themselves back to Atlanta to try to override some of those vetoes. But Lieutenant Governor Cagle says House leaders haven’t made the case to make such a rare move. Under Georgia law, only the governor may officially call a special session.
