A week after the legislative session ended, state lawmakers are heading back to Albany for a special session. NY1's Zack Fink filed the following report.

Under a three-way deal negotiated among the governor, the state Senate leaders and the Assembly speaker, lawmakers are expected to return to Albany on Wednesday and pass a one-year extension of Mayor Bill de Blasio's control of city schools. 

The deal also includes a disability pension enhancement for city firefighters, police officers, santiation workers and corrections officers who lost out when a new pension system was approved in 2012.

The question is what other items may suddenly be thrown on the table before the vote. Some Assembly members from the city want to keep any other issues out.

"Our conference has been pretty clear," said Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou of Manhattan. "Everyone is willing to follow our speaker on some of the things that we've put forth. We don't really think that education and public education in New York City should really be held as a bargaining chip."

But it's Albany. And almost everything is a bargaining chip when it comes to striking a deal the leaders can agree on. Some Senate Republicans, for example, are pushing hard for a relief package to address flooding near Lake Ontario. A bill was passed by both houses, but it has no funding mechanism. And lawmakers left town last week without a resolution.

"I think we were all on the same page, including the governor, on doing things for individuals who are getting hit by floods in upstate New York," said Jeff Klein, the leader of the state Senate's Independent Democratic Conference. "We passed a bill. The Senate passed the bill and so did the Assembly. But that's not something the governor necessarily agrees with, so we were on the verge of having a three-way agreement on that. That is important."

It's also very possible Cuomo will push for his bill expanding the state's control of the MTA, given Tuesday's train derailment. The governor failed to win agreement last week on his bill, which would give the state two additional seats on the MTA board. He also wants the city to pony up more money for the MTA to address maintenance and capital needs.
