NEW YORK -- The leadership crisis paralyzing New York's state Senate has thrown some laws into limbo and left others struggling to survive.
The law that gave Mayor Michael Bloomberg sweeping control over New York City schools is expiring in a few days.
A bill to legalize gay marriage in the state is awaiting a vote.
And the city is hoping for approval of a sales tax hike to plug a budget hole.
The power play has eaten up a week of the session. Government watchdogs say it remains to be seen whether all the legislative work can be finished.
