ALBANY - Democrats who control the state Assembly said Friday they will approve a supplemental budget bill on Monday to restore the $1.6 billion in spending and borrowing that Republican Gov. George Pataki vetoed from the 2004-05 state budget.

The bill includes more than $1 billion in long-term funding for construction projects at the State University of New York, the City University of New York and on private college campuses.

It also includes smaller items, such as $19 million to pay for the continued operation of the Fulton work-release facility in New York City, and two prison camps, Camp Pharsalia in Chenango County and the camp at Mount McGregor in Saratoga County. It also contains $100,000 in state aid for Glens Falls, Ithaca, Little Falls, Rye, Saratoga Springs, Sherill and Watervliet.

Assembly Democrats criticized Pataki for his vetoes in a budget package worth about $103 billion. But Speaker Sheldon Silver failed by one vote to have the Assembly override the vetoes in September. Silver blamed interference in his Democratic conference by Pataki for the failure.

Approval of the supplemental bill would accomplish the same thing as the Legislature overriding the 90 Pataki vetoes - to restore the funding. The Republican Senate has never been enthusiastic about overriding the vetoes of the Republican governor, especially since the Senate allied with the Democratic Assembly in 2003 to override more than 100 Pataki budget vetoes.

John McArdle, a spokesman for Republican Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, said the Senate was reviewing the supplemental budget bill Friday.

"It is something we are considering," McArdle said. "We are seriously considering it."

There was no immediate comment Friday from the Pataki administration.

Pataki would have the power to line-item veto spending items out of the supplemental budget bill just as he did with the regular budget legislation.
