Ariz. special session expected Thursday

Governor Jan Brewer is expected to call Arizona legislators back to work for a one-day special session tomorrow to work on the state's budget crisis.

 

Agenda items for the special session could include spending cuts and special-election ballot measures to both temporarily raise the sale tax and loosen voter-approved spending mandates.

 

 The special session would be the fourth this year on the state's fiscal troubles. The most recent, held in November, produced $452 million spending cuts and other budget changes that lowered the projected shortfall in the current fiscal year to $1.6 billion.
