Beebe avoiding fights at fiscal session

LITTLE ROCK – Gov. Mike Beebe says he wants to avoid picking fights with the Legislature as it convenes Monday for its first-ever fiscal session under a 2008 constitutional amendment requiring lawmakers to meet and budget annually. Beebe opens the month-long session Monday with an address to a joint session of the House and Senate that he says will be more scaled back than the “state of the state” speeches he traditionally offers. “The overwhelming feedback I’ve gotten from the majority of the members has been they want it quick-in, quick-out and limit it to the budget and setting the lottery scholarships,” Beebe said in an interview with The Associated Press last week. “So my approach is going to be consistent with that, a much more limited address that just talks about where we are.”
