    you’re dreaming if you think that the price tag of a special session will make them get a budget passed by June 30. It’s peanuts compared to the big picture. July, maybe August.

    The General Assembly has until June 30 to pass the budget….that is the real deadline as that is when the fiscal year ends.

    June 3rd is the deadline for the regular session to get everything passed EXCEPT the budget.

    If the legislature fails to pass a budget by June 30 – which it WON’T b/c it costs $10,000/day to keep the legislature in session and b/c lawmakers don’t want to keep coming in when they have their regular jobs to return to – then that will be considered as missing the deadline.
