Budget Co-Chairs Talking
Spokesmen for Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson and Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch say the budget conference committee co-chairs are continuing to meet away from the committee table.
"It's not like they have ever been at an impasse where they're just talking at the table," said Robson spokesperson Josh Wescott, adding the two leaders have been meeting regularly since the conference committee process began more than a month ago.
"Negotiations are ongoing in a number of different areas," Wescott said.
Huebsch spokesman John Murray said the co-chairs "are continuing to discuss the packages that are out there and using Fiscal Bureau resources to explore alternative packages."
So far, working groups consisting of the other six members of the conference committee have not started to meet, according to multiple sources.
The committee is scheduled to meet publicly tomorrow.
