Senators Get a Long Weekend
July 10th, 2009

Gov. David Paterson has called off today’s extraordinary session. Senators won’t be back in session until Wednesday at 1 p.m. Sure the men and women of the Senate have been worn ragged over the past month or so but there are a few small (gigantic!) legislative issues that have yet to be addressed.

Senators still need to come up with a solution for governance of New York City schools, among other things. Crain’s reported yesterday that a deal was reached to have the Senate simply pass the Assembly’s bill and later add amendments to it.

The amendments would install more checks on Bloomberg’s power over the school system. If that is truly the course of action senators will now have a few more days to think about it.
