"Two months ago, the 2001 legislative fight for sprawl control ended in a meltdown, with blustering Democrats drawing lines in the sand and steaming Republicans fending off charges that they were lapdogs for developers. Now, Gov. Bill Owens wants lawmakers to roll up their sleeves and try it again. His decision to call a special session on growth in September raises the obvious question of why -- after five-and-a-half months of partisan rancor and special-interest bickering the first time around -- he thinks it will be different this fall?"
