Legislature's joint budget conference committees meet again today ~ Watch Live

Now that both houses of the State Legislature -- the Senate, and the Assembly -- have approved their respective one-house budget resolutions, the stage has been set for final negotiations with Governor Andrew Cuomo on enacting the final 2014-15 state budget by the start of New York’s next fiscal year on April 1. 

The final stages of this year's budget adoption process continue today with the reconvening of the Legislature's joint budget conference committees.

The Legislature convenes 10 public conference committees to settle legislative differences on this year’s budget and reach agreements with the governor on a final budget.  

Senator O’Mara has been appointed to the Transportation Budget Conference Committee (which meets today at 10:00 a.m.), and as an alternate on the Economic Development Budget Conference Committee (which meets today at 11:30 a.m.).
