Senate, Assembly approve extender budget

May 10, 2010 11:55 pm
From Casey Seiler at Capitol Confidential:
The Senate approved the one-week extender on a straight party-line vote, 32-29 [which means Columbia County's representative Steve Saland and Greene County's James Seward both voted against the measure], while the Assembly vote was slightly more mixed: 82-56.
From Rick Karlin and Jimmy Vielkind at the Albany Times-Union:
Assemblyman Tim Gordon told the protesters he would vote against a budget extender. He had been undecided about the vote; by tying the furlough provision to a measure that funds the government, Paterson has jammed several legislators, particularly Capital Region representatives whose constituencies include large numbers of state workers. "If it's not legal, it's very difficult to vote for," said Gordon, I-Bethlehem. "I've been deliberating all weekend, and I've come to my conclusion: I'm voting no."
