The two-way budget agreement between Assembly and Senate leaders, translated into legislation passed by the Assembly today, does not include revenue from legalization of mixed martial arts ("ultimate fighting"). Gov. Paterson had budgeted $2 million a year in annual revenue from legalization, and the rejection of that proposal is a big victory for Assemblyman Bob Reilly, D-Colonie, the leading opponent of MMA in the Legislature.
Reilly told me just now outside the Assembly chamber that the Legislature had "put good before money" by rejecting this "vicious sport," legalization of which would have sent the opposite message from anti-bullying initiatives. "To a large extent, I think it's my doing," Reilly acknowledged when asked.
While Paterson can veto legislative add-ons to his budget, I don't see any way he can get around this without the agreement of the Legislature.
