Paterson To Ask Legislature To Reconsider Proposals

NY1 07/25/2010 17:43

Governor David Paterson is not yet ready to give up on some budget proposals state lawmakers have already rejected.

In a special session on Wednesday, Paterson is expected to re-introduce his proposals for a penny-an-ounce tax on sugary drinks and to allow grocery stores to sell wine.

His agenda will also include a cap on local property taxes, and a plan to allow public universities to set their own tuition.

The State Senate needs to approve a single revenue bill to complete the budget, which is now nearly four-months overdue.
