The Assembly will not take up a resolution today to form a conference committee that would approve a budget compromise between the Assembly and Senate, according to Speaker Mike Sheridan spokeswoman Rebekah Sweeney.

The Assembly also has floor sessions set for tomorrow and Thursday, Sweeney said. The Senate is recessed until tomorrow.

Carrie Lynch, spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, said her boss is continuing to meet with LFB staff to talk about alternatives, but couldn't confirm that those meetings include Assembly leadership and staff or governor's staff. Sweeney also couldn't confirm this morning that Sheridan or his staff were taking part in meetings at the LFB.

"We all know we have to get this done," Lynch said. "The goal is to get this done by the end of the week to give the governor time to look it over and make his changes."
