Governor says special session likely for August
Governor Phil Bryant says he expects a special session to happen next month and said an infrastructure bill will be on the docket.
“Working with the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker I think you are going to see an infrastructure bill before the end of August, probably middle of August, that will create a lot of jobs and make a lot of bridges safe for the motoring public,” Bryant said.
However, the question on everyone’s mind has been where the money will come from for the much-needed infrastructure upgrades. Bryant said the Supreme Court has something to do with where they will get the money as some of it may be coming from sports betting revenue and online sales taxes.
