State Still Can't Agree On Budget

2009_11_alban.jpg Albany is doing what it does best—not coming to an agreement about important stuff! Lawmakers are holding another special session to try to deal with the state's $3.2 billion deficit, something they've been meeting about for the past two weeks. The Assembly is apparently upset the Senate can't get their act together and may even consider a two-way deal with just Governor Paterson.
