Sly transition of the day:

Sampson said he’d like to look at his bill and the Assembly’s bill to see if there could be any compromises. When asked if there’s still time before law expires on June 30 he said that’s up to Republican Senator Dean Skelos, who insists he’s still in charge of the Senate. Albany observers believed Republicans won’t let the law sunset because they don’t want to alienate Bloomberg, who’s a generous donor. For WNYC I’m Beth Fertig.
