GOVERNOR PATERSON ANNOUNCES “EXTRAORDINARY” SESSION ON WEDNESDAY 7/28

Governor Paterson has just announced that he will be calling the legislature into “extraordinary session” on Wednesday to “consider legislation to complete the state budget.”  He stated:  “The State budget is 15 weeks late, we have yet to close our $9.2 billion current year deficit or reduce our out year gaps, and have no plan to address an additional billion dollar problem that may arise if the Federal government does not provide FMAP contingency funds. New Yorkers cannot afford to wait any longer for a final State budget.”  Governor Paterson will call the Legislature into extraordinary session on Wednesday, July 28, at 6 p.m., to consider legislation required to complete the State budget, as well as other critical policy issues that were not addressed in the regular session of the State Legislature.
