Scarnati: No Meeting Scheduled Yet
Earlier this month, Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati sent a letter to all four legislative caucus leaders asking for a meeting concerning the state's looming financial crisis.
He tells WESB and The HERO that, so far, no meeting date has been scheduled.
"I think all the leaders recognize the importance of (the meeting)," he says. "Some leaders are a little bit more preoccupied with elections right now than others. "
He says he believes after the November election attention will turn to getting a meeting together and getting the issue on the table.
Scarnati says his intention is to set up a meeting with Senate leaders Dominic Pileggi and Bob Mellow and House leaders Bill DeWeese and Sam Smith in November or December.
He says in the meeting they will "discuss how we're going to address a looming billion-dollar-plus budget deficit that we're moving into."
