NY Budget Delayed Again
The continued illness of a Democratic New York state senator on Wednesday has again stalled votes on budget bills, meaning that final passage could take at least until the end of the week.
The Assembly finished passing the nine bills that make up the $131.8 billion budget on Wednesday morning. But in the senate, where Democrats have a 32-30 majority, Republicans insisted on a full debate over the legislation on Wednesday.
About 2 p.m., Senate Democrats were forced to adjourn when Ruth Hassell-Thompson left the Capitol to return to an Albany hospital for medical attention.
