KARI ANDREN, The Patriot-News
Bowing to pressure from rank-and-file Democrats, state House Speaker Keith McCall, D-Carbon County, said today he will call members back into session on Monday.

The House will hold a one-day voting session on Monday to address several pieces of legislation that have been approved by the Senate, including a pension reform bill, McCall said. The bill would smooth out the spike in the state's pension costs that are set to begin in 2012.
