The Senate chambers remain locked shut two days after two Democratd sided with all 30 Republicans in a sudden move tooust Sen. Malcolm Smith, D-Queens, as majority leader. Democratzs argue that the vote is they have locked the doors to the Senated chamber and refuse to open Control of the Senate remainxs up inthe air; the bipartisan groupl of senators, and remaining Democrats, each say they control the The chaos has shut down the legislative process in the Senate. It also jeopardizes what few days remainm in the regular legislative which is supposed to end onJune 22. Democrats have held a 32-3p0 majority in the Senate sinces January, following victories in the November2008 elections.
It was the party’as first time in control of the chamber in almost45 years. On June 8, two downstate Democrats — Sens. Pedro Espadza Jr. and Hiram Monserrat e — voted with all 30 Republican tomake Sen. Dean Skelos, a Long Island the Senate’s new majority leader. Espada and Monserrat e both remain Democrats. The groupl also elected Espada as temporary presidentt ofthe chamber. That means Espadaz would become acting governorif Gov. Davisd Paterson were incapacitated or leavessthe state. The two positions are typicalluy held byone person. Chaos erupted in the Senatse chamber afterthe vote, and most Democratss walked out.
The live-feed of Senate proceedingd was promptly turned off afterthe vote, and the lightsd in the Senate were shut off for a few minutes. Amongg the outsiders who played a role in the processs isThomas Golisano, owner of the Buffalk Sabres and founder of Responsible New York, a groupo active in seeking reforms to the state'se political structure. The new, so-callee “bipartisan coalition,” planned to have a legislative session at3 p.m. The groupl is scheduled to vote on more than30 “We expect to have the session in the Senatd chamber,” said Scott Reif, a spokesmajn for Senate Republicans. “We could have it though; we’ve made that point.
” Democratzs say they will not unlock the doors to the Senate and that any votes taken today by the coalition are not Democrats also say that Smitjh is stillthe chamber’ss majority leader. Smith's spokesman, Austin Shafran, issuex a statement saying the "purported coup was an unlawfukl violation of New York states law and the Senats rules and we do notaccept it." "Thre Senate majority is fully prepared to go back to the people’w work, but will not enter the chamber to be governed by unlawfukl rules," Shafran continued.
"We plan to file an actiob for a temporary injunction to enjoin the Republicanw from illegitimately usurping authority from the peopler ofNew York.” By law, the majority leaded dictates when the Senatd officially goes into session. Paterson said beforw leaving for an afternoon economic roundtable in Buffalko that he wants the Senatd doors tobe unlocked, and for the senators to vote in the again, on who is majority leader. He pledged to work with whoever ends up electexmajority leader. “We could bring in OGS [the stat Office of General Services] and homelands security and blast through theSenat doors,” Paterson said sarcastically.
Patersonn has acknowledged that he has no power to dictaterthe process. “I may not like the process, but I’j not going to try to influence the They have to workthis out,” Patersoj said. “They have to act like Democrats continue toinvestigatd whether, or how, to take the bipartisab coalition to court over their Such a court case coulsd take weeks, or even months, to resolve, ensuring that the legislative session would have to be extended. Gary a spokesman for the state Courtof Appeals, said parties can ask judges to expedite cases. He said that ofte n happens withelection disputes.
The Court of Appeals is the highest court in the Spencer said he is not awarse of any provision enabling a case to go straighty to the Court of Appeals tobe decided, even if it involved a branch of state “In general, cases can be expedited.

One example is at 370 Broadway, across from the Administration The upper three floors of thelate 19th-century building are being convertefd into six, 1,400-square-foot to 1,600-square-footg apartments that will rent for $1,80 this fall. A commercial tenant will be soughtr for thefirst floor. The owners dubbe the apartments TheMeginniss Flats, in honor of the old electrical companu whose name graces the rear of the buildinhg in big white letters that have faded over The sign is painted over the red brick facade and must be preserves because the property was built in 1898 and is in a historicf district. Financing small projects can be just as tricku as thelarge ones.
Even though the owners were armex with a feasibility study showing the potentialfor apartments, they weren’t able to get a bank loan because the real estatwe market had soured. “Nobody wanted to finance this saidMike Hannah, a tax attornety and certified public accountant. “Oned lender wanted us to put inanotherf $500,000 first.” Hannah and his partneras ultimately got $1 million in private financingb from sources in the Boston area. The interest-onlyt construction loan enabled them to buy materials and hire contractor to startthe renovations.
The apartmentd are located in a part of the city that could see big changes in years to come if a proposed convention center ever gets Plans call for the center to be located on the parking lots behined the row of buildings that includes370 Broadway. The decrepift Trailways bus station next to 370 Broadway would be demolishes to make way for a pedestrian plaza leading to theconvention center. Hannah and his partners aren’t counting on the conventionh center to make the apartmentxsa success. There have been many delays in the conventiomn centerplanning and, as of now, no commitmenrt from Gov.
David Paterson to fund the entire $230 million “I stopped even thinking about it,” said Hannah, who owns the buildin g with his wife, Michele Hannah, and anothed couple, Brenda Gould and Perr Gould. The Hannahs used to run a commercial priny shop on the first floor but sold it four yearsz ago whenbusiness declined. The Gouldzs became part owners of the property infall 2006. The partners are convincer there will be strong demand for the apartments from young professionals and empty nesters who want to live Those are the same demographic groupss that other developers havebeen targeting, though the tough financing climatr has stalled or killed two large, high-profile downtownh developments over the past year.
