Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, R-Nassau County, emerged from a three-way meeting with Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, D-Manhattan, to say that discussions were continuing on working out the religious exemption language in a same-sex marriage bill. As Skelos notes in the video [here], it was the first three-way meeting between Cuomo, himself and Silver in several weeks.
But the legislative session, which officially ends today, will go on: "Skelos said he expected to remain in Albany for several more days in order to lockdown the outstanding issues." New Yorkers can help by contacting their state senators here.
