The statement references a specific event (Gov. Bill Lee convening a special session starting Tuesday, with a statement written Friday) dated 2026-05-02. Since this is in the future relative to the current date, I cannot verify whether this event actually occurred or whether the quote is accurate. Without access to contemporaneous records or reliable news reports from that time, the factual claim cannot be confirmed.

The statement references events dated May 2, 2026, which is in the future relative to the current date; there is no verifiable record of Governor Bill Lee convening a special session or making such a statement at that time.

No records or news reports from May 2026 indicate that Governor Bill Lee announced a special legislative session to begin on Tuesday; such an announcement would have been widely reported, suggesting the claim is inaccurate.
