HOPES FOR DRUG-LAW REFORM DASHED
ALBANY ( GNS )-- Hopes for a last-minute deal to overhaul the state's drug
laws collapsed Thursday as Republican Gov. George Pataki and the
GOP-controlled Senate remained far from Assembly Democrats on how to do it.
A host of other major issues also remained unresolved on the last scheduled
day of the Legislature's session, including efforts to ban smoking in
restaurants and hike the minimum wage from $5.15 an hour to $6.75.
Pataki and the Assembly and Senate leaders met for an hour at day's end and
said they will continue talks on the big issues. The Assembly will extend
its session into next week, and the Senate might return as well.
