Business Not As Usual
By Paul McIntosh, Executive Director
pmcintosh@counties.org

The 2008 legislative session has been anything but business as usual. Notwithstanding the $24 billion, two-year deficit, there have been multiple other factors that have changed the dynamics and processes that legislators, staff, and the lobby corps are generally accustomed to for this time of year.
 
The year began with the Governor presenting his January Budget, which identified a $14.5 billion deficit and called for the Third Extraordinary Session to address the state’s fiscal crisis. (Recall that there had already been two Extraordinary Sessions since the Legislature adjourned in December; one for water and one for health care reform.)  The Legislature met the 45-day timeline for action on mid-year cuts, despite the added timing and scheduling complications resulting from the early February Presidential Primary.
