But this year, major elements of the 2010 - 2011 budget were passed over the course of several weeks in June after Gov. David Paterson decided to insert them into
his weekly emergency appropriations.
«This is a fear that I have and in order to counteract this they are going to have to come pass
my weekly emergency appropriations, where if they don't want to have a budget, they are at least going to have to address the cuts that we have to make,» Paterson said.
That's partly why, he added, he decided to start including his budget cuts in
the weekly emergency appropriation bills he's sending to the Legislature.
