It could be Monday before the Assembly takes up the issue of congestion pricing, according to the Daily News.

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver's comment came during an interview with the New York Post's Fred Dicker on his WCBI (AM) Talk 1300 radio show. Speaker Silver also said the final internal conference discussion would take place by Monday on the issue.

On Monday, the New York City Council approved a home rule request urging state lawmakers to vote in favor of congestion pricing legislation. The home rule request, which passed the Council 30-20, was sent to Albany for consideration prior to votes in the Legislature.

"This is a tough decision. This is a bold decision ... which will send a message to the state Legislature that we are sick and tired of our streets being clogged with traffic," Council Speaker Christine Quinn said after the vote.
