Senate Session Transcript for 05/25/2021 rr/km 1 Senate May 25, 2021 CONNECTICUT GENERAL ASSEMBLY SENATE Tuesday, May 25, 2021 The Senate was called to order at 12:57 p.m., the President in the Chair. THE CHAIR: Will the Senate please come to order? Members and guests please rise and direct your attention to Ms. Kathy Zabel of Burlington, who is our repeat guest chaplain to lead us in prayer. Kathy Zabel. ACTING CHAPLAIN KATHY ZABEL: We pray for continued blessings and watchfulness over the concerns of this State. Continue to uphold its officials as well as its citizens in the weeks ahead. THE CHAIR: Thank you so much. And now I'd like to bring Senator Matt Lesser forward to lead us in the pledge. SENATOR LESSER (9TH): I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. THE CHAIR: Thank you, and good afternoon, Senator Duff. SENATOR DUFF (25TH): rr/km 2 Senate May 25, 2021 Good afternoon, Madam President. Madam President, before we begin our business formally, I'd like to yield to Senator Winfield, please. THE CHAIR: Good afternoon, Senator Winfield. Do you accept the yield, sir? SENATOR WINFIELD (10TH): Yes. Thank you, Madam President. Madam President, a year ago I think we, as a nation, were confronted with images that made this nation stop. There's been a long-standing conversation in this country about the relationship between police and certain communities, and there's been a lot of discussion about what that relationship is and how we should think about that relationship. But when we saw what we saw a year ago, I think people who never entered this conversation, people who had thought that people were overexaggerating about the things they were talking about, all of us took some time to stop. Our streets, our highways, our grains were filled with people who've never come out to protest on anything that even concerned them. And I think it is appropriate at this point that we take a moment to stop here and remember in a moment of reflection. THE CHAIR: Thank you. Please join our State Senate in a moment of silence to reflect upon this one-year anniversary of the death of Geroge Floyd. Thank you. Good afternoon, Senator Patricia Billie Miller. SENATOR MILLER (27TH): rr/km 3 Senate May 25, 2021 Good afternoon, Madam President. It's good to see you on the dais today. Madam President, this is a point of personal privilege. Stamford lost an angel last week Mr. Dudley Williams. Dudley was a friend of mine but he was also a friend of the people of this state. Dudley has -- you know, we all go through saying that we want to make a difference. Well, he was one of those people who made a difference. He could actually say that he left the world a better place for so many people. He was a mentor to many, he sat on -- he was an elected official twice. He was on the board of ED, he was on the board of Finance, he was on Planning and Develop -- Planning Committee. He also sat on a host of nonprofits. The Y, Urban league. He was definitely, he was definitely a person that we could all remember and be a role model to all of us. And especially to the young men and women who've seen him at the helm of helping individuals. Dudley will truly be missed. I just want to tell a story. In 2016, I became -- I was a substitute teacher. And this young man in the class came up to me, he says, "Hi, I'm Dudley." And he says, "Anything that you want, I can help you." And he was -- I mean, he helped because I was a brand new -- first time substituting. And he was such a young man where he really helped me. And I could see -- once I met his dad 'cause I had met his dad and his mom Juanita James, but I saw where he got that from because he came from a stock of people who believed in not in themselves but in helping others and putting others first. And so, I want to say that Dudley will be truly missed for the things that he's done, for again, not only for the city of Stamford but for the people of this state. Thank you, Madam President. THE CHAIR: rr/km 4 Senate May 25, 2021 Thank you so much, Senator Miller, for those remarks. Senator Duff. SENATOR DUFF (25TH): Thank you, Madam President. I also wanted to rise to reflect on Dudley William's life in Stamford, but not only in Stamford, really in Fairfield County and through the State of Connecticut. I want to align myself with the comments of my good friend and colleague Senator Miller but also mention that Dudley was someone who, as was said, left the world a better place. Never once did he say an unkind word about anybody and never once did anybody say an unkind word about him. He was somebody who just gave, he served, pleasant, always willing to lend a hand. And I didn't even live in the community he lived in but yet his presence was felt really throughout Fairfield County. His wife Juanita James, who runs Fairfield County Community Foundation and does such a wonderful job. The two of them have done really nothing but serve and give back to their communities their lives. So, I just wanted to take a moment as well, and thank my colleague, Senator Miller, for this point in this moment of reflection for Dudley for such a great job. And yield back to my colleague Senator Miller. THE CHAIR: Senator Miller, do you accept the yield? SENATOR MILLER (27TH): Yes, Madam President. And thank you to my colleague. And I would just like if we could have a moment of silence for Dudley Williams. I would appreciate it, Madam President. THE CHAIR: rr/km 5 Senate May 25, 2021 Yes, indeed. And we will now have a moment of silence to reflect on the passing of this wonderful public servant and leader from Stamford. Thank you. Senator Duff. SENATOR DUFF (25TH): Thank you, Madam President. Is there business on the Clerk's desk? THE CHAIR: Mr. Clerk. CLERK: Good afternoon. The Clerk is in possession of Senate Agenda Item No. 1, dated Tuesday, May 25th, 2021. THE CHAIR: Senator Duff.

  • Compensation Committee Guide
    Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz Compensation Committee Guide February 2020 About This Compensation Committee Guide This Compensation Committee Guide (this “Guide”) provides an overview of the key rules applicable to compensation committees of listed U.S. companies and practices that compensation committees should consider in the current environment. This Guide: • outlines a compensation committee member’s responsibilities; • reviews the composition and procedures of the compensation committee; • considers important legal standards and regulations that govern compensation committees and their members; and • recommends specific practices to promote compensation committee effectiveness in designing appropriate compensation programs that advance corporate goals. Although generally geared toward directors who are members of a public company compensation committee, this Guide also is relevant to members of a compensation committee of a private company, especially if the private company may at some point consider accessing the public capital markets. This Guide also contains sample compensation committee charters as Exhibits. These Exhibits are intended to assist a compensation committee in performing its designated functions. However, it would be a mistake for any company to simply copy published models. The creation of charters requires experience and careful thought. It is not necessary that a company have every guideline and procedure that another company has to be “state of the art” in its governance practices. When taken too far, an overly broad or detailed committee charter can be counterproductive. For example, if a charter explicitly requires the compensation committee to review a particular type of compensation arrangement, meet a stated number of times each year or take other action, and the compensation committee has not taken that action, the failure may be considered evidence of lack of due care.

Williams School of Graduate Studies Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2015 Department of English “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS A Thesis by VITO V. PETRUZZELLI December 2015 APPROVED BY: Craig Fischer, Ph.D. Chairperson, Thesis Committee Germán Campos-Muñoz, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Başak Çandar, Ph.D. Member, Thesis Committee Carl Eby, Ph.D. Chairperson, Department of English Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Vito V. Petruzzelli 2015 All Rights Reserved Abstract “SPEAK ABOUT DESTRUCTION”: REPRESENTING 9/11 IN THE SOPRANOS Vito V. Petruzzelli B.A., Rutgers University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Craig Fischer Broadly definable as an interdisciplinary study of televisual texts, literature, and history, this thesis analyses David Chase’s The Sopranos (1999-2007) and its engagement of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. Tracing the show’s narrative and aesthetic roots to its pilot episode, I explore how narrative and aesthetic elements contained in 9/11 television newscasts elicited both an alteration and an exaggeration of the show’s structural and symbolic elements. Furthermore, I illustrate the impact of televisual mediation on the act of viewership, demonstrating the manner in which The Sopranos and 9/11 newscasts employed authoritative narrative perspectives as a means of disseminating vital information to viewers. Methodologically, I employ a narratological approach to show through close textual analysis how elements of location and sequential ordering inform the creation of unique story worlds, and how these story worlds operate symbiotically with viewers in creating meanings beyond the texts.
