Impact of Albany gridlock on Putnam
The failure of the state Senate to reconvene could have particularly negative consequences for Putnam, Deputy County Executive John Tully said today.
While 36 counties and the City of New York await the extension of their current sales tax rates, Putnam is one of the few that must put together its 2010 budget by September.
Most others have November deadlines for their budgets, Tully said.
Other measures affecting counties that are caught in the state Senate leadership impasse, according to the New York State County Executives Association, include:
Pension reform
Industrial Development Agency reform to foster job creation and construction
Stimulus-related legislation to help the state leverage additional federal support
Legislation providing procurement flexibility for local governments

Thats what happens when the Senate Republicans and Democrats traded their “VIRTUE” for “The end justifies the means” The Democrats did it first but the Republicans did it last, so they now control the Senate. The Democrats have to get use to the fact that Skelos and his “TEAM” out smarted Smith and his “TEAM”.
