AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday he is considering a special legislative session if House and Senate leaders can come to an agreement on public school finance and property tax cuts — something they couldn't do in the regular session.

"The final chapter is not written," Perry said. "There is a very good chance we'll be back here, and hopefully legislators will address it."

"If they don't want to work to finish the job, then I think I may make, or I should say, they should make plans for a long and uncomfortable summer when they go home and they meet with those constituents and explain they did not act on education reform and property tax relief," Perry said.
