Gov. Bill Richardson announced today that he won’t call a special session for health-care reform until the summer.
The decision comes following a meeting today with Senate leaders, Richardson said in a news release. He said he and the senators “agreed to form bipartisan, executive-legislative working groups that will develop consensus on all of the key areas of a universal health coverage plan.”
“We all want a productive special session that results in affordable access to health care,”
He called the meeting with Senate leaders “productive.”
The news will come as a relief to many lawmakers who are focused on re-election and the June 3 primary. Most politicos believed
The working groups may be a chance to improve that relationship.
