Twins special session on, off?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is telling top state lawmakers to wait until after Labor Day to discuss calling a one-day special legislative session to vote on, among other things, $353 million in public spending for a new Twins stadium. The Minneapolis Star Tribune takes this as a negative sign for stadium prospects (Pawlenty "essentially advised legislators to chill out," writes the Star Trib); ballparkdigest.com insists that "legislative insiders say the special session is a lock because [House speaker Steve] Sviggum would have never called for one unless Pawlenty was on board."
