ALBANY—Senate Independent Democratic Conference Leader Jeffrey Klein said Tuesday that Governor Andrew Cuomo and other top lawmakers plan to institute a moratorium on implementation of the Common Core standards, for “at least three years.”

Klein, who co-leads the Senate majority and is therefore one of the four men in the room for budget negotiations, said Common Core changes will "probably" be part of the state budget, as well as a provision to end the state's relationship with a controversial data company.
