The Governor continues to push for real action from the legislature when they return for special session in early November. Glenn Blain of the Daily News writes -”Gov. Paterson vowed Thursday to bring lawmakers back to the Capitol - and keep them there until they agree to cut the budget.
“They’ll come back and we’ll stay there until we get it done,” he said after meeting legislative leaders in his Manhattan office.
Paterson also said the state’s budget deficit had reached $3.2 billion, up slightly from the $3.1 billion he predicted last month.
New York’s estimated 2010-11 budget deficit is $6.8 billion. In July, state Budget Officials pegged the current year deficit at $2.1 billion and $4.6 billion for the upcoming fiscal year.
