Buffalo, NY – The State Legislature returns for a special session in Albany Tuesday at the request of Governor Paterson.

The Governor wants lawmakers to begin trimming $1 billion in spending to deal with a huge budget shortfall.

We have two reports. WBFO'S Eileen Buckley talked with two members of the Western New York delegation about what they expect at today's session. WBFO'S Mark Scott talked to the Erie County Executive who is skeptical of Tuesday's Albany session.
