The April 1st budget deadline is inching ever closer. But Tuesday, lawmakers already began passing portions of the $132.5 billion spending plan. They're optimistic about getting the budget through early, but as our Solomon Syed explains, some groups are planning a last minute rally at the Capitol to sway legislators.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- "As is often the case, the devil's in the details."

As a handful of bills were printed and put in front of lawmakers for passage Tuesday evening, some key details in the budget are still missing. Still topping that list is how, exactly, will the restored education funding be distributed?

"Just the fact that we were able to put $272 million back in education is a great relief to me, so certainly I support the parameters of the deal," said Assemblyman Cathy Nolan.

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says the formula for how the money will be doled out has already been figured out. Now all that's left to do is run the numbers, which is expected to happen Wednesday. The same goes for the health care budget bills.

In the meantime, some have already found the bad in the budget and several groups plan to make their voices heard on an even bigger scale than they did last week when fake $4 million checks, 40,000 postcards and hundreds of protesters arrived at the Capitol, resulting in dozens of arrests.

These groups will hold a so-called "Capitol Camp-in" Wednesday, just before larger portions of the budget are expected to be voted on. They're planning to stay here all night, even sleep throughout these hallways, to protest across the board cuts even lawmakers admit are tough to swallow.

"There's probably the most significant pain we've ever seen in a budget. But you have to expect that when you have a $10 billion deficit," Assemblyman Jim Tedisco said.

"But make no mistake about it, we don't agree on everything in this budget. Make no mistake about it, we don't agree with everything with Governor Cuomo on this budget," said Assemblyman Minority Leader Brian Kolb.

The protest will call for even more restorations to education funding, as well as an extension of the millionaire's tax. But with those details already mostly settled by the time they take to the Capitol, protestors will likely be seeing red.
