Albany, NY - A state official says Gov. David Paterson will call a special session of New York's Senate Wednesday if battling senators fail to resolve a two-week power struggle.
Paterson would compel senators to session if they don't settle the leadership question by the end of Monday, the regular session's last day.
Senators would have to attend but Paterson can't make them vote.
The state official says Paterson is preparing a list of essential legislation requiring action, most of which will extend laws about to expire. Some will let New York City and other local governments arrange taxing or borrowing. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the governor's hasn't yet announced his plan.
The dispute has gridlocked the Senate since June 8.

On what authority can he compel their attendance?
And they ARE working. Who says voting on legislation is more important than what they're doing now?
