The New York Senate rejected a bill Monday that would open up state tuition assistance to students in the country illegally, dashing long-held hopes of immigration advocates and prompting finger-pointing among rival Democrats.
The 30-29 vote was short of the 32 votes needed to pass, a rare defeat for a bill on the floor of the Senate. There are 63 seats, two are vacant, and two senators did not vote.

Sen. Ted O'Brien, a Democrat from the Rochester area, was the only member in his conference to vote no on the bill.
I guess the NY GOP is more conservative than Rick Perry.
