ALBANY - Tax breaks and incentives for job-producing companies are among numerous health, business and environmental issues that Gov. Eliot Spitzer and legislative leaders agreed to tackle Wednesday in the six weeks remaining in the legislative session.

But included in the lengthy list are at least a few with, apparently, little chance for agreement: Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver is opposed to Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno's call for a death penalty for cop killers, and Bruno mostly dismissed Spitzer's first priority of dramatically reducing campaign contribution limits.

Awarding the state racing franchise held by the New York Racing Association didn't make the list, despite a Dec. 31 deadline for the new 20-year franchise to begin. The leaders said they will likely choose from several racing and gambling consortiums, including NYRA, after the scheduled June 21 end of session.

But don't hold your breath on agreement for rest of the priorities. There was some barely contained rancor even at the first “public leaders meeting,” which is more of a photo opportunity than a negotiating session.

After Spitzer named his first priority, campaign finance reform, which he later emphasized in a separate press conference, Bruno took his shot.

“You're going to have a tough time with campaign finance reform,” the Republican told the Democratic governor. “I would recommend we move past that so we don't get bogged down.”

Spitzer joked that it was a sunny day after weeks of bitter fighting with Bruno over the issue. “The climate changed,” Spitzer said.

“It's going to rain tomorrow,” Bruno deadpanned.

Later, to Silver who has allied with fellow Democrat Spitzer, Bruno said he was disappointed the legislative leaders can't band together at times as they did against former Republican Gov. George Pataki.

“For 12 years I protected his butt,” Bruno said. “Who's protecting mine?”

In the 46-minute meeting, the leaders agreed to negotiate several priorities. Among them:

€ They agreed to provide $300 million to Sematech, a computer chip manufacturer, to expand its Albany site.

€ Spitzer wants to renew the so-called Article X measure to provide a fast track for clean power plants to be built to meet a need for commercial power at a lower cost. He also wants to reform Wick's Law, a pro-union measure that adds to the cost of public construction; strengthen the laws against human trafficking; require healthier foods in schools and crack down on the ability of youths to get sexually explicit and violent videos and video games.

€ Bruno wants $200 million to pay for additional property tax breaks for senior citizens, doubling the checks already in the state budget adopted April 1.

€ Silver wants more laws to combat illegal guns in the wake of violence at Virginia Tech and in upstate New York that have left troopers dead in recent years. He also wants to renew the Power for Jobs program that subsidizes the utility bills of major employers, sometimes by millions of dollars.

€ Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith's priorities include a moratorium against foreclosures for poor, often minority homeowners trapped in the national “sub-prime loan” crisis which left them with balloon payments they can't afford. He also wants more protections for abortion, following a retreat by the U.S. Supreme Court.

€ Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco wants to use part of the state's current gas tax to fund development and tax credits for use of alternative fuels. He also wants a law to crack down on “chronic criminals” who commit repeated misdemeanors but avoid felony prison time. He wants a bill that would allow communities to avoid “saturation” of registered sex offenders.
