Budget Not There Yet as Legislators Try to Spend

That "conceptual" agreement on the budget didn't quite happen today as Governor Cuomo acknowledged progress but said he is preparing budget extender bills just in case...Those bills would enact his spending plan by forcing lawmakers to choose between change and a government shutdown.
The medical/malpractive proposals and prisons are sticking points...Other items like mandate relief, rent control and tax caps have been put off till later.
