ALBANY, N.Y.—The Senate's Democratic majority won't attend Democratic Gov. David Paterson's address to a joint session of the Legislature Monday, when he will try to build support for attacking New York's latest fiscal crisis, according to state officials informed of the decision.
"We're not returning for a photo op" for Paterson, a senior Democratic official said of the governor, who is languishing in the polls as he seeks election in 2010. The official, who is close to the Senate's majority leaders, spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak for the senators.
