JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Gov. Haley Barbour is calling lawmakers
back to the Capitol for a special session starting May 21.
He wants them to keep the state employment agency in business
and has three other items for lawmakers to take up.
The issues were left unresolved when the 3½-month regular
session ended in mid-April. Not yet on the docket is Medicaid,
which Barbour says could be added later.
Only a governor can call a special session, and only he can set
the agenda.
Legislative financial officials say the first day of a special
session costs $59,895. The tab for each subsequent day, without
travel expenses, is $39,420.
