Governors address about state's fiscal crisis not well receivedby Ranbir Boyal
Syracuse, NY -- New York officials say the Senate's Democratic majority will skip Democratic Gov. David Paterson's joint address to the Legislature Monday in Albany, NY. Paterson plans to talk about trying to create a coalition to address the state's latest financial calamity.
A senior Democratic official close to the majority's leaders says the senators won't return to Albany for what the official termed "a photo opp" for Paterson. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak for the senators.
The Senate's Republican minority and the Assembly's Democratic majority and Republican minority plan to attend the rare midyear address to a joint session of the Legislature called by Paterson.
