ALBANY — With a special session — and a legislative pay hike — still
up in the air, Gov. Andrew Cuomo huddled quietly on Sunday with leaders
of the Assembly and Senate, two sources told POLITICO New York.
Spokespeople for Cuomo, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Senate
Majority Leader John Flanagan and Jeff Klein, head of the Senate's
Independent Democratic Conference, declined to discuss the meeting or
even say where it took place. One source said the meeting was short, and
may have focused on scheduling a date for Cuomo’s annual State of the
State presentation, which will come in late January.
But in the days and weeks before Thanksgiving, Cuomo called for state lawmakers to return to the Capitol to revive the expired 421-a housing subsidy and enact a “serious” ethics reform package at the same time gubernatorial appointees effectively torpedoed a pay raise for legislators.
