The state Senate’s Independent Democratic Conference
(IDC) announced last week that it intends to form a new coalition with the
mainline Democrats for the 2015-16 legislative session. According to a
joint press release issued by Senate IDC leader Senator Jeff Klein and Gov.
Andrew Cuomo, the new Senate coalition will mirror the current IDC-Republican
majority coalition. Both Senator Klein and
Democratic Conference Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins would each have to sign off
on bills before they could come to the floor for a vote.
