Next on 'New York NOW': State Worker Layoff Planning Begins
Gov. David Paterson has called state lawmakers back to Albany for a special session this week, as the budget is now approaching an all-time record for tardiness. New York's fiscal state is not getting any better and at a Monday press conference, the governor said planning for the layoffs of state workers 'is going to begin immediately,' a plan first floated by Budget Director Bob Megna on last week’s 'New York NOW.'We'll have full coverage of the special session and analysis at our Reporter Roundtable on this weekend's program.
Also, those involved with The Champlain-Hudson Power Express Project say it will bring up to 1,000 megawatts of clean, renewable wind and hydro-power to New York. The U.S. Department of Energy has held public meetings throughout the eastern edge of New York this past month, where residents and industry leaders peppered officials about the project. This week, we'll take a look at the proposed underground power line that would run from north of Lake Champlain and down along the Hudson River.
*Fri., July 30 at 7:30 p.m. | Sun., August 1 at 11 a.m. and 11 p.m.*
