ALBANY, N.Y. -- In any other year, a measure that would allow the building of power plants and a plan to index tuition at state colleges would be a big deal. But this isn't any other year.

The legislature is expected to take up those measures tonight, but all eyes remain on hammering out deals on a property tax cap, rent control for New York City and, of course, a same-sex marriage bill. Like yesterday, Governor Cuomo waited until the end of the day to update reporters on where the key issues stand.

Cuomo said, "These are very, very complex matters we're talking about. Property tax cap will be the first time in the history of this state that there is a tax cap. So these are important, weighty matters and if they're not done immediately is sort of the essence of what we're doing here. The rent regulation, property tax, mandate relief is a complicated bill, it's an important bill. We want to do it, we want to do it right. And if it takes a little more time, it takes a little more time."

Cuomo also said during that news conference that it was up to the Senate Republican majority whether the same-sex marriage bill would be brought to the floor for a vote. The marriage bill has been the subject of noisy protests at the Capitol. Cuomo meanwhile again met quietly with three GOP senators in order to hammer out an amendment that would provide broader religious exemptions.

"There's language related to it, but it's not in print yet, but regardless it wouldn't affect our vote on it and even those who voted against marriage equality could support that because the religious groups want that. And we're support that as well," Assembly Majority Leader Ronald Canestrari said.

But we've learned that Conservative Party Chairman Mike Long has told lawmakers who have his party's support not to vote for the amendment. Long has threatened to withdraw support from GOP lawmakers who vote for the bill. With the measure remaining deadlocked at least publicly at 31-31, it's anyone's guess when the bill is voted on.
