Billionaire B. Thomas Golisano acknowledged Friday that the truce ending the State Senate stalemate spawned by his June 8 political coup leaves the chamber with the exact same makeup as when it all began — 32 Democrats and 30 Republicans.

In addition, the new agreement does nothing to undo the new budget he says saddles upstate New York with oppressive taxes and fees.

But the Rochester activist insisted in a telephone interview that 15 reforms agreed upon by both Democrats and Republicans after a 32-day stalemate end the omnipotent control of the Senate by its leader and prevent such moves from again being foisted on upstate without input from its representatives.

“By opening up the process to the entire group of senators instead of just one guy, it will be a big help,” he said in a telephone interview. “It doesn’t reverse the budget or lower taxes, but there will be a lot more input than ever before.”

Golisano — head of the Responsible New York political fund, which spent $4.4 million on state legislative races in 2008 — said his group will have future access to discussions on issues that affect upstate. He also warned that Responsible New York will act as a watchdog and that failure of the Senate to formally adopt the reform measures may unravel the truce prompted by the redefection of Sen. Pedro Espada of the Bronx to his Democrats after siding with the GOP for 32 days.

“The fact of the matter is that they have committed to the reforms,” Golisano said. “If they are not executed, there may be movement. And it will be more than just Pedro.”

Golisano was referring to a series of procedural changes that he is touting as positive results of a stalemate that ground state government to a halt. He pointed to deals giving Republican senators more funding, some committee chairmanships and larger staffs, as well as dampening the supreme control over bills long held by Senate leaders.

Though the measures are not yet officially adopted, Golisano also hailed agreements giving more power to rank-and-file legislators, such as making it easier to get bills onto the floor. And while he previously believed that his group would have influence in the Senate after spending so much money on Democratic candidates, he said he is now more convinced that upstate will have a place at the table despite the lack of any upstate senators in leadership positions.

“It’s a concern,” he said. “But we’ll be a lot closer. At least they know that Responsible New York will be closer than ever before.”

State Sen. Dale M. Volker, RDepew, the dean of the area’s Senate delegation, did not dispute Golisano’s view of the situation. He said Golisano and his political point man — former Erie County Democratic Chairman

G. Steven Pigeon— were “very, very influential” on the rules issue and that he expects to have more influence on the next budget.

“I really believe upstate New York is better off because of what we did,” he said. “It’s not the ideal way to do it, but you’ve got to give Golisano and Pigeon credit.”

Volker said that with Gov. David A. Paterson pointing to more budget problems lying ahead later this year, he believes the new procedures will give upstate senators more say in how to avoid taxes to close the budget gap.

Sen. William T. Stachowski, D-Lake View, declined comment.

As he has in recent days, Golisano made it clear Friday that the same political pressure that produced a host of new reforms and procedures in the Senate this week is now headed toward the Assembly.

“If these reforms pass this week, there is no reason in the world why the Assembly should not do the same thing,” he said. “Responsible New York will work toward that end.”
