New York Governor David A. Paterson shortly before 1:45 p.m. called a halt to the squabbling at the leaders meeting and declared this non-session special session officially dead, the Daily News reported.
"I think it is clear that this special session on Nov. 18 will not yield the result that we want today...What I think we will do at this point is we will end this special session of the leaders meeting."
Paterson said he'll wait until he submits his 2009-2010 budget on Dec. 16 (about a month before he is constitutionally mandated to do so) to reconvene this discussion, adding: "I would like to, in terms of the way that we assess the budget, remain dedicated to closing this year's budget within this year."
The governor did say, however, that it's unlikely another special session will be held before the end of the year.
