Things are looking tenuous in Albany:
“I think we’re going to have a real good, complete, concluding package,” Skelos said. “I think we have all of that resolved. Language is being worked on, and hopefully we can conclude by tomorrow.”

Even if a majority of the 62 senators would support same-sex marriage in a floor vote, as advocates suspect, Skelos said bringing it to the floor hinges on what happens in the Senate GOP conference — which is overwhelmingly opposed to it.
