MEET THE LEGISLATURE: Leaders of the state Assembly and Senate will project a clear message to the governor this week as they kick off their formal sessions on Wednesday: We all have progressive goals, but don’t think you can push us around.

And they’re not going to wait for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, to set the terms.
