Several Senate Democrats just spoke with reporters to complain about the lack of progress in the Senate. The Republican conference in the chamber, which has 32 members, was scheduled to meet privately at 9:30 and open session at 10 a.m. The Democrats—Sens. Liz Krueger of Manhattan, Michael Gianaris of Queens and Adriano Espaillat of the Bronx—held their news conference at 10:30 a.m. Session still has not started. There are 30 Democrats in the Senate.
