SPECIAL SESSION - WEEK THREE
This week marks the third week the Arizona Legislature is meeting in special session to try to resolve the budget crisis, but not all lawmakers will be in attendance this week.
More than a dozen lawmakers already have committed to be out of town for the National Conference of State Legislatures' annual convention in Philadelphia.
While Governor Jan Brewer signed enough of the budget passed by lawmakers to keep vital parts of the state running, lawmakers and the governor are still working to trim another $2.6 billion to close the current shortfall in the fiscal year.
There were some technical problems getting about $400 million in federal stimulus money to the state, but those problems seem to have been worked out.
