Working Holiday for NYS Senate

By WBNG News

It looks like New York State Senators may have to work through the holiday weekend.
Governor Paterson says he's keeping the Senate in special session through July 6th.
He hopes during that time Democrats and Republicans can work out their differences and come up with a power sharing agreement.
Wednesday, Republicans claimed Democrats doctored the official minutes of the session three weeks ago when they led a coup that ousted the majority...
A move they claim is criminal, and believe will clear the way for the courts to intervene in the power struggle.
Democrats say the official journal is correct, claiming the vote for a new Senate president happened after the Senate adjourned.
They also add corrections to the official journal are routine.
State Supreme Court Justice Thomas McNamara is reviewing all of the arguments.
So far, he's refused to rule on whether the leadership vote was legal.
