Tethered to railings, the balloons dotted the path up to one of the Bronx’s old - est churches, St. Nicholas of Tolentine, where the doors were wide open for a celebration. A year and a half earlier, on a similarly lovely day in March, some - one set fire to Tolentine’s vestibule, including its doors, causing hun - dreds of thousands of dollars in damage and an unquantifiable amount of heartache for the church’s parishioners. Despite the act of arson committed that day, Father Joseph Girone, the head priest at Tolentine, said the church never wavered in its com - mitment to keeping its doors open to the public, as it always had.

Galie* & Christopher Bopst** I think the people of the state said they want something done and they want it done now . Let‘s act.1 —Governor Andrew Cuomo The bill was muscled through with disturbing speed after days of secret negotiations and a late-night vote Monday by state senators who had barely read the complicated measure before passing it.2 —The New York Times ************************************************************* Three days of debate, everyone has an opinion, it‘s entirely transparent, [and] we never reach resolution . I get 100 percent for transparency. I get zero for results.3 —Governor Andrew Cuomo A legislature that rushes critical, controversial bills to passage is one that deliberately excludes the public. A legislature that cannot wait three days to revise a mission statement governs by crisis. This must stop.4 —Syracuse Post Standard ************************************************************* * Professor Emeritus, Canisius College, Buffalo, New York. ** Partner, Goldberg Segalla LLP, Buffalo, New York.

  • Dedicated Legislature
    LOST CENTURY: “…I want to represent you, the people of these counties and no one else…..I want to stay on the job representing you twelve months a year.” Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1910 Speech at Hudson upon being elected to the State Senate DEDICATED LEGISLATURE 0 FULL TIME, FULL PAY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver’s recent arrest once again proves that a New York State Legislature motivated to pursue outside income is a recipe for corruption. In the aftermath of this latest scandal in Albany, it is clear that the state Legislature must finally become a full-time body that pays a salary adequate to attract the best and brightest to serve in state government. As Governor Andrew Cuomo said recently, a full-time legislature is the “cleanest” solution to the epidemic of criminality that infects Albany. But he has yet to take real action to make this solution a reality. This report from Bill Samuels and EffectiveNY shows how Cuomo can create a full-time legislature. It presents specific salary increases and limits on outside income for Albany lawmakers that would enable a full-time legislature to meet high ethical standards. EffectiveNY is not advocating for our state legislators to be rewarded for their bad behavior. Our aim is to encourage better behavior and make representation of the people of New York the sole concern of our state legislators. Serving the people, not the special interests trying to rig the system, must be the primary focus of all state legislators. The members of the state Senate and Assembly have not received a raise in 16 years, and their base pay of $79,500 is significantly less than the $112,500 New York City Council members receive.

Stephanie Miner: Only insiders worry about her being a spoiler Jeff Coltinis a staff reporter at City & State. He covers New York City Hall.@jccoltin Mike Groll/AP/REX/Shutterstock Stephanie Miner with Gov. Andrew Cuomo | Mike Groll/AP/REX/Shutterstock The former Democratic mayor of Syracuse is running against Cuomo as an independent. Stephanie Miner, the former Democratic mayor of Syracuse, said Monday that she’s running for governor on an independent line, criticizing the “outrageous corruption” under Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Miner’s late entry into the race seems to complicate the picture for all involved, especially Cuomo, who may now have a seasoned, liberal politician competing for left-leaning votes in November. The actress and activist Cynthia Nixon has run an energetic campaign in the Democratic primary against Cuomo. But, despite earning the progressive-aligned Working Families Party ballot line, Nixon is not expected to stay on the ballot for the November 6 general election if she loses the primary, lest she play the role of spoiler and inadvertently help Republican Marc Molinaro, the Dutchess County executive, win. 1 of 3 6/19/2018, 9:17 AM Stephanie Miner: Only insiders worry about her being a spoiler https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/campaigns-elections/ste... But as an independent candidate, Miner will not be competing in the September 13 primary, and is focusing entirely on the general election in November. In a phone interview with City & State on Monday, Miner said she was not concerned about being a spoiler who could help the conservative Molinaro get elected.

Both Republican and Democratic leaders are now poised to offer "solutions" to this unseemly situation. These solutions, however, must do more than simply scratch the surface of this enormous problem. And dramatic changes to this dysfunctional dynamic of Washington politics are unlikely unless the public gets engaged. It is easy to become jaded about stemming the flood of money which passes hands and influences politics in Washington. PoliticalMoneyLine.com reports $2.42 billion was spent in the 2004 on federal elections in 2004, much more than the 2000 elections. Reported lobbying expenditures jumped 34 percent between 2000 and 2004 from $1.6 billion to $2.1 billion.

Among the ideas floated during a meeting this afternoon at Gov. Paterson's New York City office was a "watered down" SUNY empowerment plan that would limit any tuition hikes to just a few campuses, including the University at Buffalo, one source said. Those hikes would be tied to a corresponding increase in tuition assistance funding, and there would also be limits on SUNY bonding, the source said. It was unclear if Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was on board with this version of the SUNY empowerment concept, which has become a make-or-break priority for some of Senate Democratic leader John Sampson's members. The big three are also said to be near a deal on the contingency plan that Paterson has been demanding as a fallback if Washington fails to come through with $1 billion in Medicaid money that Albany has been counting on to balance its budget. Legislative leaders also pushed Paterson to restore the school aid he vetoed, some of which would offset property tax hikes, a source said.
