The following is an expanded version of the third item from my “Albany Insider” column from Monday’s print editions:

Businessman and liberal activist Bill Samuels, who helped finance the unsuccessful effort in November to create a constitutional convention, is now backing a bill to make it easier for child sex abuse victims to seek justice as adults.

Samuels will take part in a press conference by advocates Tuesday calling on Gov. Cuomo to include the Child Victims Act in his State of the State address Wednesday and his upcoming state budget proposal.

“This is a no brainer,” Samuels said. “Why Cuomo doesn’t put this in his budget, why the (Senate) Republicans don’t go along with it, I don’t get it.”
