“It’s a reality,” said Republican Senator Dean Skelos. “Look at the film, read the transcript, the journal, the roll call, it was 32, actually it was 32 to nothing because [the Democrats walked out].”
“We really hope to resolve this by negotiations,” said Democratic State Senator Eric Schneiderman. “We are here to talk, but they are not negotiating in good faith. They are not willing to give up their claim that Pedro Espada is president pro-temp or even put it aside.”
Democrats have pulled back on their request that a judge issue a temporary restraining order barring Espada from assuming the post of Senate president. But they say they have not ruled out going back to court.
