Despite what Gov. Tim Pawlenty and legislative leaders said several weeks ago would be a flood-only related special session, several DFL lawmakers are planning to introduce an anti-bullying measure when the bodies briefly reconvene.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty and legislators have tentatively agreed on an up to $80 million flood-relief package that they will take up in a special session.

State lawmakers will address damages to possibly more than 10 southern Minnesota school districts when they assemble in special session next month to pass flood-relief legislation. A prominent schools lobbyist hopes that lawmakers also consider helping out Wadena in northwestern Minnesota where a tornado on June 17 destroyed the high school.
