Legislators to return to Montgomery for Special Session

Alabama legislators return to Montgomery on Monday looking for something that eluded them for the last five months: agreement.

Legislators are resuming a special session called by Gov. Robert Bentley over a projected shortfall in the general fund budget.

Bentley is asking lawmakers to approve $302 million in taxes, including a tobacco tax increase.

Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh said Senate Republicans have developed their own plan.
