Albany Budget Cheat-Sheet

The New York Times' City Roomnabbed a copy of something called the Executive Budget 3-Way Comparison Matrix, which gives a rare peek into the final budgeting wrangling currently taking place in Albany between Gov. Mario Cuomo, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate majority leader, Dean G. Skelos (and their aides, we presume).

The 31-page memo highlights in fascinating detail where each of those three parties stands on issues yet to be resolved, such as the environment, proposed, tuition raises and "member items" - also known as earmarks. (Don't worry, both legislators agree that they should stay).

Below, courtesy of the New York Times, is the downloadable, embeddable document.
