The rumor mill is churning with talk that Gov. Kay Ivey could announce a special session in coming days that would deal with infrastructure, which could be financed by a hike in the gas tax.
On Wednesday, the governor will unveil her infrastructure proposal in Chilton County’s Maplesville alongside “a host of legislators, local dignitaries and officials from the Alabama Department of Transportation.”
Earlier, former State Sen. Bill Holtzclaw (R-Madison) and Huntsville radio talker Dale Jackson made mention of the rumors on social media.

BREAKING: @GovernorKayIvey is about to announce a special session to deal with the gas tax, (IF TRUE) this will make it easier to pass. #alpolitics

However, a spokesman from the governor’s office acknowledged the discussion of a special session but told Yellowhammer News not to expect an announcement at tomorrow’s event in Maplesville.
