Special session progress update

There’s no floor action today — the 10th day of special session — and at this point, it’s a game of who blinks first, according to Rep. Lynn Kessler, who was interviewed for The Impact this morning with Rep. Richard DeBolt.

Kessler said she’d vote for any of the proposals currently on the table. DeBolt said Republicans would rather rewrite the budget than vote for a tax package.

When an agreement is reached, it will take two days to print the budget and vote, Kessler said. DeBolt confirmed that Republicans would give the budget the procedural “bump” needed to vote that quickly.

Watch The Impact tonight at 7 and 10 p.m. on TVW — or posted as early as it’s available here. Not only will you see the Kessler/DeBolt interview, you’ll also get an excellent explanation of GA-U and how it will transform into Disability Lifeline. And more.
