On Friday, Joseph L. Bruno, the Senate's Republican majority leader, said after a public budget meeting that he's optimistic that everyone intend to do property tax reform as it's a priority. He added that all three sides have substantial property tax reductions in their proposals. This year, in a bid for openness in the notoriously opaque Albany budget process, Mr. Bruno and the Democratic Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, have actually debated and settled a few issues in public.
