Governor David Paterson has called for special session of the Legislature on November 11. Among the items on the agenda is a property tax circuit-breaker and same-sex marriage equality legislation.
The main thrust of the session is to get the Legislature to pass Paterson's deficit-reduction plan. If experience tells us anything, the legislators won't do it; they'll opt for something else. Likewise, it remains to be seen if the Senate bothers to take up the marriage equality legislation - the Assembly passed it this year, but Senate leaders have stalled on bringing it to the floor.
Legislators have to show up for the special session, but under state law, they don't have to actually do anything.
The governor's release, with his preferred agenda for the session, is here.
