After meeting with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who made a special trip to Albany to make a final push for same-sex marriage, Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos stopped on the second floor of the capitol to meet with the governor to try and work out the unresolved issues including the aforementioned bill and rent control.

“We listened the mayor make his presentation, a very thoughtful presentation on the issue of gay marriage,” said Skelos.

“The governor and I talked about outstanding issues and really they haven’t changed in terms of gay marriage, rent regulations. [I have] a sense of disappointment in terms of what happened last night where Democrats allowed the rent regulation to expire, property tax cap and we’re going to continue to our discussions concerning rent regulations. I think people from the different points of view will be coming up. We’ll have discussions with them and see if those issues can be resolved.”

He went on to say, “the governor has indicated there are a lot of issues to be resolved and he intends to keep us here until that occurs and I understand his point of view.”
