Jefferson City, MO. – Missouri Governor Matt Blunt is considering calling a special legislative session for his plan to use student loan agency profits for college buildings.
The potential special session would start in January -- the same time legislators convene their regular session.
Two advantages for the governor in calling a special session are that it ends sooner than a regular session, and its agenda can be limited by the governor.
Blunt's plan calls for the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority to pay 350 (m) million dollars to the state. Most of that money would go toward campus construction projects.
