Third Time's the Charm?
June 25th, 2009
There will be another special session of the Senate tomorrow. The last two were pretty special. Why not have another? Gov. David Paterson won’t have to act on his threat to go to court to get get legislators to attend. Paterson’s office released this statement late this evening:
“The leadership from both the Republicans and Democrats has notified my office that they will attend tomorrow’s Extraordinary Session. By complying with their constitutionally mandated obligations, there will be no need to seek a court order tomorrow. However, I will continue to use every power at my disposal to ensure that the Senate gets back to the people’s business.”
It is doubtful that any legislating will occur. Paterson is also looking into docking the senator’s pay.
