Albany's legislative session came to its final conclusion Thursday after lawmakers were called back to Albany by Governor Andrew Cuomo because they failed to pass critical legislation last week. NY1's Zack Fink filed hte following report.

The biggest component of the end of session deal was a two-year extension of mayoral control of city schools.

Last week, lawmakers left the capitol on the last scheduled day of the legislative session after failing to reach agreement. At issue then was an insistence by Senate Republicans that any deal include some kind of expansion of charter schools. But Democratic Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie stood his ground and refused to include anything about charters.

Facing a July 1 expiration of mayoral control, Governor Andrew Cuomo then called lawmakers back to the capitol this week to address it. The deal he brokered did not include charter schools.

"Tremendous. It's a tremendous victory for us," said Assemblyman Walter Mosley of Brooklyn. "But at the same time, we understand that charter schools are a reality we have to face each and every year and we also have to understand they should not be co-mingled with other pressing issues and concerns."

Flying under the radar a bit was a new law guaranteeing three-quarters salary in the disability pensions for city police, firefighters, sanitation workers and corrections officers, benefits that were taken away when Cuomo pushed through a new pension tier for new hires in 2012.

"I think everyone realizes it was a mistake to take that away from our first responders who can come home and get injured, and after social security can come home with $24, $34 a day foir the rest of their lives," said Assemblyman Peter Abbate of Brooklyn.

Despite serious concerns about the health of the city's subways, lawmakers did not address MTA funding or Cuomo's proposal to give the state a greater majority on the MTA board.

"We did not get a chance, Zack, to have a serious conversation about an MTA funding plan," Cuomo said.

Cuomo did use his executive authority this week to address the subway crisis, declaring a state of emergency and commiting $1 billion to help maintain the system.
