 During the session, Perry became involved in a heated debate with Comptroller Carole Strayhorn about the merits of his school finance proposal.Strayhorn initially planned to oppose Perry in the 2006 Republican primary, but she instead ran as an independent in the general election.Another special session was convened on July 21, 2005, after Perry vetoed all funding for public schools for the 2007–2008 biennium.
