It's official: Gov. Haley Barbour has called state lawmakers back to Jackson for another special session to deal with the 2010 state budget. The session begins on Friday, July 10, at 10 a.m.
Under Mississippi law, the governor sets the agenda for all special sessions, and this one has only three items for consideration:
• A budget appropriation for the Public Service Commission
• A budget appropriation for the Public Utilities Staff
• A budget appropriation for the Legislature to pay for the special session.
