From LoHud.com:
New York lawmakers say last week’s loss of a Democratic vote could prompt more cooperation in the New York Senate, which devolved into squabbling and gridlock last summer. Or it could mean more of that partisan divisiveness.
“Without a clear majority in the Senate, Democrats need to work with Republicans in a bipartisan way,” said Sen. Dean Skelos, leader of the Republican minority. He said Senate Democratic Conference leader John Sampson has indicated he’s willing.
“The true test will be in this year’s budget, which must not increase taxes or spending, and must include initiatives to create jobs, as Senate Republicans have proposed,” Skelos said.
