MORAHAN PLEDGES STATE SENATE ACTION SOON by Ken Mahnoney

State Senator Thomas Morahan says the senate will get its work done this year despite the deadlock that’s brought business to a virtual halt for more than three weeks. The Rockland Republican told WRCR listeners this morning that work actually began yesterday with the passage of scores of pending bills. The votes came after a Republican senator, Frank Padavan of Queens, walked into the Senate chamber while the Democrats were holding their own, separate session. As Morahan explained, Padavan’s presence inadvertently created the quorum needed to pass legislation. Morahan also predicted that a bi-partisan agreement would come soon on a leadership plan that would break the current deadlock.
