Up first, Bruno accuses Silver of intransigence. Silver denies that he is being intransigent. On the contrary. However, when he lays out the details of his proposal, which include only minimal concessions to the other side, it becomes clear that Bruno has a point. Silver repeats his contention that a compromise can be forged by midnight.
Silver arrives back at the governor's office for another round of negotiations.
He announces that he has just come back from celebrating Father's Day at his home in Rensselaer County. For reasons that he does not share with reporters, Silver exits the negotiations. 7 p.m. Bruno, who has changed his entire outfit since the afternoon, gives his third news conference of the day. Yet again, he predicts that the laws will lapse. But in characteristic Albany fashion, the less time there is to work out a solution, the more likely one becomes, and Bruno seems less convinced of his prognosis than he did a few hours earlier.
