Gov. Bill Richardson plans to call lawmakers into special session at noon on Wednesday to try again to fix the state’s massive budget deficit.
Richardson made the announcement at a news conference held shortly after the regular, 30-day session expired today at noon without a budget fix.
Richardson said he wants the session sooner, rather than later, in part because it’s an election year.
