It’s not clear yet whether Gov. Spitzer and legislative leaders will be able to announce any agreements later today when they hold another public bargaining session. Neither the governor nor Joe Bruno nor Sheldon Silver indicated such in brief speaking appearances this morning on other topics.
In fact, Senate Majority Leader Bruno, R-Rensselaer County, again was critical of the governor when asked how things were going. Asked if the governor has, in Bruno’s view, sufficiently pushed the Democrat-led Assembly on key issues, the senator said: “No. I haven’t seen it.’’
Assembly Speaker Silver, D-Manhattan, said the two houses will probably have to go to conference committees (a bipartisan panel of Senate and Assembly members) if they are to resolve their differences on a DNA crime database bill. The Assembly wants to allow criminal defendants more access to DNA evidence than Bruno or Spitzer.
