    The Honorable Eliot Spitzer State Capitol Albany, NY 12224 Antonia C. Novello, M.D., M.P.H., Dr. P.H. New York State Commissioner of Health New York State Department of Health Corning Tower Empire State Plaza Albany, NY 12237 Dear Governor-elect Spitzer and Commissioner Novello: We write on behalf of the memberships of four committees of the New York City Bar Association -- Corrections, Health Law, Mental Health Law, and Social Welfare Law -- to urge New York State to cease its current practice of terminating Medicaid eligibility for individuals incarcerated in state and local correctional facilities. We urge the State instead to suspend Medicaid eligibility. Suspension will allow incarcerated Medicaid beneficiaries to receive needed benefits promptly upon release, thereby promoting continuity of care. Under the present system, formerly eligible individuals must reapply for Medicaid upon their release from correctional facilities. This process typically results in a significant delay in these individuals’ ability to access needed care in their communities. Members of this population already are at high risk for physical and mental illnesses, including substance addiction. Additionally, many releasees have serious chronic conditions for which they received care while in prison. It is imperative that they receive swift access to adequate and affordable medical care upon release. Failure to receive such assistance can hinder their ability to become productive members of the community, and in fact, may threaten the safety and well-being of the communities to which formerly incarcerated individuals return. Moreover, while awaiting the reinstatement of Medicaid coverage, formerly incarcerated individuals frequently turn to emergency rooms and other costly forms of care for assistance.

Pearce It is my pleasure to introduce Sherron Watkins, the Academy of Management's 2003 Distinguished Executive Speaker. By now, her story as the former vice president of Enron Corporation who tried to bring what she called "an elaborate accounting hoax" to the attention of Enron's chief executive officer is well known. In August 2001, responding to his invitation to employees to put any concerns in a comment box, she did so. When he did not address her explosive charges at a subsequent company-wide meeting, she sought a face-to-face meeting with him. A month later the CEO announced to employees that "our financial liquidity has never been stronger," while exercising his own $1.5 billion in stock options, just ahead of the company's announcement of a $618 million quarterly loss. When United States Congressional investigators uncovered her letter buried in boxes of documents, they brought Ms. Watkins before the United States Senate in February 2002 to testify about her warnings.

    6484-6 Ch01.F 3/25/02 9:06 AM Page 11 Chapter One THE BEST OF NEW YORK I certainly hope that you will be reading every word in this book (and underlining the good parts in pink felt-tip pen), but I under- stand that many people are truly living the New York Minute and are constantly on a mad dash from here to there—unable to spare the time to read this guide from cover to cover. Or, you may have the time to read this entire book, but find all the possibilities overwhelming. It’s also possible that you won’t be overwhelmed by the information in this book, but find that when you actually get to New York City, you get confused just trying to figure out which way is uptown and which is down- town, let alone trying to find a specific shop in NoLita. To combat the above problems, I have created this at-a-glance chapter to help you get started quickly and easily by using these pages as a handy tip sheet. This chapter features some easy- to-locate shops where you can find what you need if you’re short on time. Each store mentioned here is explained in greater depth in later chapters, and there are plenty more shops discussed inside. Addresses in all listings are given with cross streets so that you can find your destination more easily. When taking a taxi, tell the driver the cross streets as soon as you get in the car so there is no confusion.
