ALBANY -- Legislative officials say a $124 billion state budget due at midnight won't be passed until later this week, creating the latest state budget in four years.
The Assembly wasn't expected to vote on its first budget bills until late Monday night and all the bills won't likely be done until Wednesday, said two officials in the Democrat-controlled Assembly. In the Republican-controlled Senate, budget bills aren't expected to be passed until Thursday or Friday, according to a Senate official.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because their leaders hadn't conceded that the 2008-09 budget will be late.
