Governor Blunt indicated Wednesday he is considering calling a special session of the legislature to deal with MOHELA. That's the sale of student loan assets to raise money for building projects and scholarships on the state's public university and college campuses.
In May, lawmakers couldn't agree on the issue, but Blunt and the MOHELA worked over the summer to get a deal done, provided lawmakers approve it in 2007.
Huh.
Lawmakers couldn't agree on MOHELA, but Blunt thinks a special session is in order to work it out, even while lawmakers are already at work.
But lawmakers, Democrat and Republican alike, agreed a special session was needed in September to restore the MAWD program cut in 2005. But Blunt passed on that notion because he didn't get the Medicaid fraud package he wanted.
