Albany, NY - New York's gridlocked Senate has adjourned again after meeting in another extraordinary session called by Gov. David Paterson.
No bills were debated or passed in Sunday's 3-minute session.
Two Senate factions continue to refuse to recognize each other's leaders so no legislative action was made on critical bills, including some that would extend laws that expired during the standoff.
The Senate has been gridlocked since a June 8 coup by a Republican-dominated coalition against the Democratic conference.
Senators' staffs are trying to negotiate a compromise.
Paterson says he'll use a statewide tour to turn up the heat on senators who remain gridlocked.

Who has a 3 minute session? The gas alone costs too much to bother showing your face at all! If you want to come to work - then come -- if you do not want to come we will call a special election and elect somebody who will want to work!!
