New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has told lawmakers returning from a two-week vacation that if they fail to enact a tax cap or pass an ethics law, they just aren't listening to their constituents.

The Democrat says failure to make law of both issues before the end of the legislative session in June would show a "breathtaking" disconnect from voters. Cuomo also says the Senate and Assembly will be failing their constituents if they each pass different one-house bills that result in no new law.

There was no immediate comment Monday from the Republican-led Senate and Democrat-led Assembly.

Each house has proposals for ethics and a tax cap.
