ALBANY - The state Legislature wrapped up its legislative session early Friday, capping a six-month stretch where lawmakers waded through bills to address the COVID-19 pandemic and pass a $212 billion budget.
The session included votes in March to legalize marijuana, add mobile sports betting, raise income taxes on the rich and increase aid to schools to a record $29.5 billion.
But with Gov. Andrew Cuomo facing myriad scandals and offering no robust post-budget agenda, the session ended Friday on a whimper rather than a flurry of deal making that typically happens in June at the state Capitol.

Seager suffered a gunshot wound to the hip during an exchange of gunfire and was treated at UHS Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City. She was released late Thursday afternoon.
The incident developed shortly after 8:30 p.m. Wednesday when representatives from the state police and Broome County Sheriff s Office responded to 1348 E. Windsor Road for a suspicious person complaint.
