The subject property is situated on the east side of Glen Cove Road, south of Old Westbury Road and north of Bacon Road The application includes the proposed synagogue structure, in addition to a 361-square foot addition to the existing residence, and new driveways and parking areas.

    Democrats capture state Senate with biggest majority since 1912 11/7/18, 904 AM If the current Democratic seats hold, Democrats will have 39 members in a chamber in which 32 is needed for a majority. | AP Photo/Hans Pennink Democrats capture state Senate with biggest majority since 1912 By BILL MAHONEY | 11/07/2018 01:15 AM EST ALBANY — Democrats took control of the state Senate in a convincing fashion on Tuesday night, flipping as many as eight Republican seats and losing no members in a year in which they needed a net gain of just one seat. Democrats Monica Martinez, Jim Gaughran, Anna Kaplan and Kevin Thomas all seem to have flipped districts on Long Island, and Pete Harckham won a seat in Westchester. James Skoufis and Jen Metzger had modest leads in Hudson Valley seats that Democrats are confident will hold. And Andrew Gounardes had a roughly 1,000-vote lead over Sen. Marty Golden in Brooklyn that will likely make him a favorite in any recounts in the coming weeks. The victory also means a long-standing glass ceiling in New York has been shattered.

  • Senate Majority to Advance Legislation to Improve Oversight and Care at Nursing Homes
    For Immediate Release: February 22, 2021 Contact: Jonathan Heppner | [email protected] | 518-455-2415 Senate Majority To Advance Legislation To Improve Oversight And Care At Nursing Homes (Albany, NY) The Senate Democratic Majority today will advance legislation to better support and protect nursing home residents. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Senate Majority has taken action to pass legislation to support New Yorkers' health and safety. This legislative package will establish a direct patient care spending ratio for nursing homes, create a taskforce to reimagine the delivery of long-term care, allow personal and compassionate care visitors, mandate disclosure of nursing home ratings, and require more infection control policies by nursing homes and require state health officials to conduct more thorough inspections. “The tragic situation in our nursing homes remains a heartbreaking reminder of the toll this pandemic has taken and has made it clear that real reforms are needed,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said. “The Senate Majority is taking action to deliver meaningful results by increasing transparency and raising the standard of care provided at these facilities. I commend the bill sponsors for their work, and I am proud that we are passing these reforms.” The legislation being passed by the Senate Majority includes: ● Patient Care Ratio Reporting: This bill, S.4336A sponsored by Senator Gusatvo Rivera, directs the Commissioner of Health to establish a "Direct Patient Care Ratio" that would require all nursing homes to spend at least 70% of a facility's revenue on direct patient care. ● Publication of Nursing Home Ratings: This bill, S.553 sponsored by Senator James Sanders Jr., requires that the most recent Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rating of every nursing home be prominently displayed on the home page of the Department of Health's website and at each nursing home facility's website and displayed at the facility for view by the general public.
