Gov. Linda Lingle, state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa, D-21st (Nanakuli, Makaha), and state House Speaker Calvin Say, D-20th (St. Louis Heights, Palolo Valley, Wilhemina Rise), emerged from an afternoon meeting today with no immediate decision on a special session to help Hawaii Superferry.
The leaders have chosen to wait until House and Senate Democrats hold private caucuses to discuss the options before deciding whether lawmakers should come back.
House Democrats have scheduled a caucus for Wednesday afternoon. Senate Democrats had not scheduled a caucus as of this afternoon but planned to meet soon.
House and Senate leaders have said previously that they believe they have enough votes to help Superferry, and lawmakers said yesterday that a special session was likely.
