No Session Date Yet
-
- September
- 24
Despite a state Senate press release this morning to the contrary, the state Assembly said it hasn’t agreed on a date to return to session.
Assembly officials said while Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has notified his members to keep open the week of Oct. 22, they have not formally agreed to come back until it’s clear that agreements on outstanding issues have been reached.
There’s a whole host of issues out there, from campaign finance reform to reforming the Wicks Law.
Still, the Senate seems more confident about returning.
“I have spoken this morning with Speaker Silver and he has agreed to bring the Assembly back into session on October 22 as well,” Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno said in a statement.
