Lawmakers Reach Partial Accord On New York Budget
Albany sources say a rough three to five week budget timeline is likely as Pataki Silver and Bruno discuss a $66 billion plan. The trio note about $2.6 billion more than Pataki projected, funded largely by rising income tax and lower Medicaid costs, with Democrats pressing for near billion in basic school aid and a $2 billion construction bond.

Albany lawmakers and Gov. Pataki signaled optimism about extending cameras in court this year but with tighter limits. The proposal would bar revealing identities of crime victims and trial witnesses who do not wish to be on camera while allowing obscuring faces under current law.

NYC Plans to Regulate Floating Casinos
New York City Council overwhelmingly approves a plan to license floating casinos offshore. A five member gaming commission would license boats, conduct background checks, and set safety rules, with Mayor Giuliani expected to sign. The measure, approved 46-3, targets offshore gambling profits while boats operate beyond city reach. Meanwhile a separate case reports Lori Ann Williamston, 33, charged with abandoning her two young daughters in Central Park.

Teacher with prior sex crimes charged in Watkins Glen
Gary Serlo, 53, a Watkins Glen Middle School teacher, faces second and third degree sexual abuse charges after being charged June 12. Education officials said he had a clean record when hired and that fingerprinting might have prevented the case. In 1973, Serlo was convicted of molesting eight boys in Pennsylvania and served over five months in prison.
