Interesting they don’t try for improving the bill with amendments or offering something they think will appeal to voters statewide.
Here’s hoping journalists will ask 2022 candidates for the legislature if they will support such a time suck and, if they do, what they think is being accomplished by the tactic. Anyone do a calculation of how much “extra” it costs — hourly wages for Capital employees would be the bulk of the extra, but other items (printing of the legislative records being extended and added utilities are the only other two off the top of my head).
Nobody’s supposed to sayeth this phrase out loud, but a “special session” would entail some cost and additional hours spent on things the legislature could’ve easily completed in regulation time absent the aptly-named time suck.
It's my belief that the Republicans may actually need to have the bills read out loud. That way, they can follow along with a finger on the text and attempt to say those hard words out loud. It could be a helpful learning experience for many of them.**

Here's hoping the Dems trot out the speed-reading robot, the equivalent of a cream pie in Curly's face.
On the other hand, this is probably the only way our Republican legislators are ever going to have any slight opportunity to learn what's in any bill . . .
…and pass up the chance for a nap, regularly interrupted by fundraising rage emails???
