Legislature may hold off on some issues

With a month left in the legislative session, state lawmakers are talking about putting off the remaining thorny issues until after the November elections, according to the AP.

 

On Tuesday, Gov. David Paterson held his last in a series of closed-door meetings with legislative conferences. And as with the Senate’s Republican majority, his meeting with the Assembly’s Democratic majority was full of jokes and pledges to work together while putting the animus of the clashes with former Gov. Eliot Spitzer behind them, AP reports.

 

There were no agreements on priorities or hashing out compromise, which many lawmakers said would seem fitting with four full weeks left in the six-month legislative session, AP reports.
