Let the excuses begin

New York has not had an on time state budget in two decades. Some Republicans are already conceding defeat in this year's battle. Last Tuesday, the GOP controlled state Senate passed a contigency budget... despite the fact that the budget isn't due until 1 April.

For once the beneficiary of a public relations blunder, the Democratic Assembly speaker denounced the Senate's move. As well he should. Senators should get busy preventing a late budget in the first place, rather than laying the groundwork for excuses.
