“I’m not making any plane reservations to be gone between now and Jan. 1,” Rep. Jean Price, D-Great Falls, said. Price said she supports a special session if called by Gov. Steve Bullock, who is also a Democrat.
“He must be confident he can do something,” she said.
However, two Republicans from the Great Falls area said they hoped a session would not be called. One said she was not convinced it was needed and tools were in place to resolve the problems. The other saw it as an added expense to taxpayers.
