Marriage Equality on Agenda as Paterson Calls for 'Extraordinary Session' on November 10
"Paterson wants what is technically called an extraordinary session on Nov. 10 that would address the deficit and take on unfinished business... The regular session ended in June. The special session is expected to include a possible vote by the Senate to give final legislative approval to a same-sex marriage bill. Paterson has predicted the bill will be passed and signed into law in coming weeks. Paterson also is asking legislative leaders to call a rare joint session of the Legislature on Nov. 9, where he plans to address the Senate and Assembly on the need to act on the deficit and reduce spending. The governor also has scheduled a public meeting with legislative leaders Thursday in New York City."http://www.towleroad.com/2009/10/marriage-equality-on-agenda-as-paterson-calls-for-extraordinary-session-on-november-10.html
