Evan Smith: How long a special session?

When I asked State legislators as the regular session was winding down whether there would be a special session, most said there would be none.

 Then, the day the session ended, the governor called a special session, one that started Monday.
So, how long will the session last?
 

State Rep. Ruth Kagi, one who predicted a special session, said that it would be short.
Sen. Darlene Fairley, another 32nd District Democrat, told me Sunday that the Democratic majority leader had told her that the session would last until Thursday or Friday. Then as the special session began Monday, she told me she had heard talk about the session’s taking two weeks.
