NEW YORK, NY November 11, 2009 —A special session of the New York state legislature ended with no action on reducing the state’s deficit, or legalizing same-sex marriage, but Governor Paterson says he’s determined to try again next week. Karen DeWitt reports from Albany.

REPORTER: Late in the day, after the legislature failed to agree on a plan to close the state's budget gap or vote on legalizing gay marriage, Governor Paterson said he was sending both houses home and trying for better luck next week.

PATERSON: We'll continue the dialogue. I'll probably have a leaders meeting or two in the interim and bring the legislature in Monday and Tuesday of next week to complete this deficit reduction program.
