	New York Legislature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New York Legislature is the legislative branch of the U.S. state of New York, seated at the state's capital, Albany.
		The Legislature is bicameral, consisting of two houses: the New York State Assembly and the New York Senate.
		The Assembly is the lower house of the Legislature, and consists of one-hundred and fifty members, each chosen from a single-member district.

	HOW THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE COULD, AND SHOULD, WORK
		Significant legislation cannot be passed without the agreement of the Governor, the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, the Majority Leader of the New York State Senate, the majority of the Democrats in the State Assembly, and the majority of the Republicans in the State Senate.
		Moreover, the legislature’s current contingency budget proposal, if enacted into the state constitution, could be used to contradict other constitutional requirements, including the requirement that the state balance its budget, and the requirement that it provide a sound basic education for all the children of the state.
		One of the strangest aspects of New York’s political culture is that is considered a shocking violation of prevailing norms if the State Assembly, State Senate, or City Council pass a budget on their own, prior to cutting a deal with the Mayor or Governor.

	The Legislature's Spurious Budget Reform
		The Executive Budget amendments to the constitution were approved by New York voters in 1927 with the strong support of a bipartisan reform coalition spearheaded by then-Governor Alfred E. Smith, a Democrat frustrated by his limited ability to control and shape spending under the previous system.
		Indeed, it flatly prohibits the Legislature from acting on the governor's bills after a new fiscal year begins.[4] From any governor's standpoint, the "final action" clause in the proposed amendment is a real poison pill; if enacted, it would mean the Legislature could effectively kill any executive budget merely by doing nothing.
		School aid for the new fiscal year would be both automatic and veto-proof, even if (as was the case in 2003) revenues are dropping and the governor needs to close a huge budget gap.

Pataki signed a law a year ago reducing what he called "unduly long sentences" for drug crimes, he predicted that hundreds of nonviolent drug offenders would be released from prison.

		For the New York Racing Association, the measure also ensures that its VLT partner, MGM Mirage, would remain as Aqueduct's VLT operator even if NYRA loses its franchise, which expires at the end of 2007.

	Brennan Center for Justice: Reform of the New York State Legislature
		The report concludes that New York’s legislative bodies discourage rank-and-file lawmakers from participating fully in the legislative process and, in turn, deprive citizens of full representation in Albany.
		Since the report’s release, all of New York’s major daily newspapers, from upstate and downstate, have used their editorial pages to call the public's attention to the report's findings.
		The report’s findings are based on quantitative, historical and comparative data developed through analysis of all “major” laws enacted in New York from 1997 through 2001, interviews with sitting members of New York’s Assembly and Senate and their staff, and a national telephone survey of other states.

		If the Legislature is truly convinced that higher state taxes and spending will hold down local property taxes, it should insist that this be done.
