Senate GOP Leader Dean Skelos Storms Out Of Budget Talks In Dispute Over Prekindergarten
GLENN BLAIN
State Budget talks appeared to hit a major snag Friday morning over the issue of universal prekindergarten.

Senate GOP leader Dean Skelos stormed out of a four-way leaders meeting in Gov. Cuomo’s office just after 10 a.m. complaining to reporters that “certain members in the room that represent another branch” were too focused on New York City and appeasing Mayor de Blasio.

Skelos mentioned education aid and tax cuts as issues being discussed but when asked about funding for pre-k, he stressed it’s “always been a problem.”

“As far as I am concerned, we have a problem right now,” Skelos said. “Hopefully, we can work it out, but we’ll see.”
