| Montgomery -- The special session is over. Five days, a $6.36 (B) billion education budget and a handful of other offerings made it out of Montgomery. Lawmakers were called back into session after the Senate failed to pass a school funding measure during the regular session.

The 2008 regular session came to a close with only a handful of bills that passed and a long list of other measures that died before the gavel pounded.
