State Senate To Vote On Gay Marriage Bill

A spokesperson for State Senator Dale Volker says the controversial same sex marriage bill could be voted on today in the senate.

As for the battle to plug New York's multi-billion dollar budget crisis, Governor David Paterson says negotiations with lawmakers are over and he's taking the deficit into his own hands by reducing and possibly delaying state aid to schools, hospitals and local government services. However, lawmakers say progress is being made in closed door meetings.
