McMahon last week hosted a series of community briefings on the State of Violent Crime, bringing together anti-violence community leaders, law enforcement officials, and local elected leaders to develop new initia- tives aimed at preventing shootings and violent crime.

  • ASSEMBLY Annual Report
    NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY SHELDON SILVER, SPEAKER committee on Veterans’ Affairs William B. Magnarelli, Chair Annual Report December 15, 2010 Honorable Sheldon Silver Speaker New York State Assembly Room 932 Legislative Office Building Albany, New York 12248 Dear Mr. Speaker, It is with great pleasure that I forward to you the 2010 Annual Report of the New York State Assembly Standing Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. In early March, I was honored, Mr. Speaker, to be named by you as chair of this important committee. I hope to continue the Assembly tradition of leadership that has been established since the committee was created in 1983. Several significant measures became law this year, including legislation that provides funeral directors, undertakers, and funeral firms in possession of cremated remains for more than one hundred and twenty days a method of determining if such remains are those of a veteran and how they may be disposed of, with the help of certain veterans’ service organizations. This legislation will significantly facilitate the interment of veterans’ unclaimed remains by removing the barriers that now exist, while effectively providing the legal protection necessary to funeral directors and veterans’ organizations alike as part of this noble endeavor. Some of the other measures enacted into law included: extension of the statute of limitations for cases based on torturous exposure of military personnel in Indo-china to phenoxy herbicide (Agent Orange); requiring the division of veterans’ affairs to maintain a small business portal on the division’s website; and the extension at local option of the redemption period for residential property for certain persons deployed by the military to four or five years.

  • Limited Appearance Statement Of
    July 26, 2013 By US Mail Commissioner Allison M. Macfarlane U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Mail Stop 0-16G4 Washington, DC 20555 Dear Allison M. Macfarlane, Enclosed is a copy of "Generating Influence," Common Cause/New York's comprehensive study of Entergy Corporation's political spending and public relations campaign to secure new operating licenses for the Indian Point nuclear power plant in Buchanan, New York. As you are well aware, Entergy is currently in the late stages of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission license renewal process that began in 2007. While Common Cause takes no position on the relicensing of Indian Point, we strongly believe that the final decision should be based on objective analysis of the costs and benefits and not unduly shaped by the well-funded lobbying, campaign contributions, and publicity campaigns of Entergy Corporation. As such, it is crucial that NRC officials are fully aware of the extraordinary extent to which the appearance of "public support" for the Indian Point nuclear power plant appears to have been generated by the deceptive strategies of Entergy Corporation. In addition to the "inside game" of lobbying and campaign contributions, Entergy has engaged in an extensive "outside game" of public relations and grassroots "astroturfing" strategies. From making targeted campaign contributions and hiring former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to appear in an advertising campaign, to cultivating influential"front group" coalitions of business interests, unions, local political leaders, and non-profits (NY AREA and SHARE), Entergy is working the full spectrum of lobbying and publicity strategies in an all-out effort to keep Indian Point open.

    THE LEGISLATURE STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY January 14, 2021 Honorable Bill de Blasio Mayor of the City of New York City Hall, New York, NY 10007 Dear Mayor de Blasio: In these diffiCult times, we applaud you and the Chancellor for starting the hard work of developing a proaCtive plan to Close the “COVID aChievement gap” experienced by many students throughout the City. We reCognize that the details of this plan are still being determined. We write today to make several recommendations for you to consider as you work to address both the achievement gap in academic, social and physical skill areas and the regression of life among the approximately 200,000 students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Unlike other students, this population of Children may never catch up on what was lost during the days of remote learning. With regard to the effort to provide families the option of blended or remote instruction models, appropriate staffing has beCome a Challenge, partiCularly for students with IEPs. This has been detailed in the press and in testimony from parents and other stakeholders at the joint Committee hearing of the New York City Council on the reopening of sChools (10/23/20). Additionally, parent-led advocaCy Consulting group, SpeCial Support ServiCes reCently released a report that surveyed 1,100 parents whose Children require speCial education serviCes during the initial sChools reopening, OCtober 7-26.

    June 4, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York Executive Chamber State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: Our state’s successful recovery from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on how quickly we transition from a state of near total lockdown to a fully functioning and vibrant economy. One sector that has been deemed necessary from day one, construction related to essential infrastructure, is key to this success. However, $743 million in local infrastructure construction and maintenance projects are on hold due to inaction by the state. We appreciate your recent statements about the importance of infrastructure investment as a critical and effective way to help restart and stimulate our economy and get people back to work. At your briefing you said: “There is no better time to build than right now. You need to start the economy, you need to create jobs, and you need to renew and repair this country’s economy and infrastructure. Now is the time to do it.” We could not agree more. And while your remarks thus far have focused on larger, regionally significant downstate tunnels and mass transit needs, we are confident that you fully recognize the importance of local transportation infrastructure projects to the vitality of so many upstate, rural economies, and to the statewide transportation system as a whole. Our Assembly Minority Conference and other legislative colleagues worked together with you this year to enact a fully committed and dedicated plan to invest in the local transportation infrastructure network through vital programs like CHIPS, PAVE-NY, BRIDGE-NY, and Extreme Winter Recovery.

  • THE STATE of EARLY LEARNING in NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT out Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care by Legislative District
    BRIEFING GUIDE THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care By Legislative District What New York Leaders Need to Do Now Recommendations for 2019-20 Enacted Budget Acknowledgments Preparation of this report was truly a team effort by the Ready for Kindergarten, Ready for College Campaign including Betty Holcomb, Center for Children’s Initiatives, Marina Marcou O’Malley, the Alliance for Quality Education, Dorothy (Dede) Hill, the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Pete Nabozny, The Children’s Agenda for valuable data analysis and editing. Special thanks to Jennifer March, executive director, Citizens’ Committee for Children and to the Committee’s data and research team, including Marija Drobnjak, and Sophia Halkitis, for the providing data on subsidized child care in New York City. In addition, we want to thank the National Alliance for Early Success, the New York Community Trust, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Partnership for America’s Children for their support. THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT | 2 OPPORTUNITIES DENIED Working Families And The State’s Youngest Learners Left Out HIGHLIGHTS • The Governor’s proposal to add just $15 million for pre-K for 3- and 4- year olds, is unlikely to add even the 3,000 new seats he promises, and falls dismally short of rising need and unmet demand. More than 100 districts gave formal notice of interest in adding pre-K last October. • 80,000 four-year-olds across the state – mostly outside New York City – still have no full-day pre-K.

    THE ASSEMBLY STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY December 4, 2020 Hon. Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York Executive Chamber, State Capitol Albany, NY 12248 Dear Governor Cuomo: We urge your attention to the growing challenges that acute, intermediate and long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and those that provide care for children and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, across the state face concerning recruitment and retention due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising COVID-19 infection rates are poised to test new surge capacity plans at hospitals and long- term care facilities throughout rural, suburban and urban New York. We are now armed with a better understanding of the virus, and of treatments and interventions, than we were at the start of this pandemic. Yet statistics, unfortunately, indicate that New York could face the long-feared scenario of health facilities statewide being overrun by coronavirus patients and COVID-19-related safety measures which would hinder access to care and potentially cost lives despite breakthroughs in medical treatments for COVID-19. One of the greatest challenges for health facilities is the recruitment and retention of staff, from doctors and nurses to support staff, nurse assistants, janitorial staff and others. Many facilities faced difficulties with staff recruitment and retention prior to the start of the pandemic, proving that this is a long-term issue that the State must reckon with. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly exacerbated the situation and we must swiftly provide a plan to remedy it. New York State must use funding provided to the State by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to support health care staffing.

HOMELAND SECURITY & KAMINSKY@NYSENATE GOV SENATOR TODD KAMINSKY MILITARY AFFAIRS 9TH SENATE DISTRICT Dear Colleague, Please join me in working toward immediately decoupling state aid from teacher evaluations before the end of this yea?s legislative session. With only five days left, the time to work together and act is now. Action is needed to protect crucial state funding for schools from each of the districts that we represent. Linking essential school funding with the implementation of a teacher evaluation system which has been universally discredited and rushed makes little sense. Moreover, evidence demonstrates that many schools are having difficulty meeting the Albany-mandated criteria, raising deep concerns that the impending deadline will negatively impact public students. So far, only 121 out of the over 700 school districts in the state have submitted evaluation plans. Our children’s education is too important for partisan politics. That is why I urge you to join me in doing the right thing for our children, families and schools by signing on to my letter urging Majority Leader Flanagan to bring Senate Bill S.7632 to the floor for a vote. By putting partisanship aside and working together we can ensure all of New York’s public school districts receive the state funds they were promised.
