Hutchison wants Perry to call special session

From QR:

"I do hope that the Governor chooses to call a special session now," Hutchison said. "In the budget there is an allocation for teacher pay raises, for judge pay raises, for the buying of textbooks on time. I think it's time that we have that session to do what's right. It's in the budget and I don't think our teachers should start in the fall not having the pay raise that was intended for them to have."

Hutchison spoke outside of the Texas Supreme Court, where Justice Owen was sworn in to become Judge Owen on the 5th Circuit Court.

She also said that Texas needs "leadership to be shown now more than ever."

Seems like a smart move by Hutchison to me. It's a win-win situation for her. Hutchison is highlighting Perry's failure to broker a deal between Dewhurst and Craddick. By doing so, she lays the foundation for her run and she gets to criticize Perry obliquely.

Plus, though it seems unlikely to me, she may even goad Perry into calling a special session.

UPDATE: Gary Scharrer's SAEN take is here.
