Statement From Senate Majority Conference Leader John L. Sampson On Senate Session Tuesday, December 7th

I am calling the Senate back into session on Tuesday, December 7th to vote on the proposed reorganization of the New York City Off Track Betting Corporation. I have spoken to our colleagues across the aisle to urge bipartisan cooperation and action on this and other outstanding issues before the state, such as appropriating federal funding to keep our educators working.
 
New York faces extraordinarily difficult times and tough choices, but the decision to meet our obligation and work together should be unanimous. In the past, when Democrats and Republicans have worked together, the results worked for New Yorkers. This week, we must once again push aside partisan divides and unite behind our shared responsibility to put the best interests of the people first.
