State Still Can't Agree On Budget

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. State Senate President Pro Tem Malcolm Smith told NY1, “I think the governor wants the $3.2 billion; we're trying to indicate to him that we may not get exactly there, but we're very close, and I think that's where the stalemate is."
