The 1989 Voter Guide marks another opportunity for New York City voters. FOT,the first time, a voting guide is being mailed to every household in the City where there is a registered votcr. The Voter Guide is designed to be easy to carry and use. It fits into your jacket pocket, briefcase, or pursc, so you can take it to the polls with you on Election Day. Each Guide is printed. in both English and Spanish, as required by the City Charter and the Federal Voting Rights Act. We have also made copies of the Voter Guide avai1able on audio tape for visually-impaired voters. Inside you'll find statements from the candidates running for Mayor, City Council President, Comptroller, Borough President, and City Council member. The Voter Guide gives you a chance to jUdge the candidates together in one booklet. As a result, when you go to the polls to vote, you'll have a better idea about who represents what you want New York City to be. The Voter Guide also contains information on the Charter Proposals that will be on the ballot, information about how to vote, and a map to show you where your City Council District is. If you still have questions, we've included a telephone number (212-VOfER-89) to call for more infonnation. The Voter Guide is produced by the New York City Campaign Finance Board. In the recent Primary Elections, a similar Guide was distributed to those voters eligible to vote in the Primary.

This book reflects the challenges that resolute men and women of color have addressed and the progress that we have helped New Yorkers achieve over the decades. Since this book was first published in 1977, new legislators of color have arrived in the Senate and Assembly to continue to change the color and improve the function of New York State government. In its 48 years of existence, I am proud to note that the Caucus has grown not only in size but in its diversity. Originally a group that primarily represented the Black population of New York City, the Caucus is now composed of members from across the State representing an even more diverse people.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

I hope the US Anny Corps of Engineerswill look closely at the City's application, specifically the Draft Environmental Impact Statement(DEIS), and recognize that it is a highly flawed document that appearsto have been drafted to fit a predetermined conclusion rather than to reflect the impact of a Marine Transfer Station on this denselypopulated residential community. Pleasenote that this facility faces overwhelming opposition from the community and every local elected official. It makes no senseto site a transfer station in the Gracie Squareand Yorkville communities, adjacentto two heavily used public parks. Despite the fact that the DEIS refers to this site as the "Converted MTS", the City is not simply retrofitting the site and reopeningthe MTS. In truth, the City plans to completely demolish the current MTS and createa new facility that would handle more than four times the solid waste that could be managedby the current station's capacity.

  • Committee on Election Law Report on Redistricting
    Contact: Maria Cilenti - Director of Legislative Affairs - [email protected] - (212) 382-6655 COMMITTEE ON ELECTION LAW REPORT ON REDISTRICTING REFORM -AND- S.3331 (BONACIC) / A.5271 (GALEF) This report is respectfully submitted by the Election Law Committee (the “Committee”) of the New York City Bar Association (the “Association”) in order to address redistricting reform generally and S.3331/A.5271 specifically. Appended to this report is the Committee’s March 2007 report A Proposed New York State Constitutional Amendment to Emancipate Redistricting from Partisan Gerrymanders (the “Report”). On March 14, 2011, the Senate passed S. 3331, a constitutional amendment relating to reform of the redistricting process. During the debate on S.3331, it was argued that the Association recommends that the redistricting process be reformed by way of constitutional amendment, not by legislation.1 While the Committee is pleased that members of the Legislature are aware of the Report, we wish to take this opportunity to highlight significant and material differences between the recommendations in the 2007 Report and the provisions contained within S.3331/A.5271. We discuss some of those differences here in hopes that the Legislature will adopt the recommendations of the Report during its continuing discussions of redistricting reform. Procedurally, it is correct that the Report recommended proceeding with redistricting reform by constitutional amendment. However, the Report set forth two principal reasons for this recommendation: (1) the amendment proposed by the Association is quite ambitious, such that a constitutional amendment may be needed to avoid quick repeal at a later date, and (2) as of the Report’s issuance in 2007, there was sufficient time to enact a constitutional amendment before the 2012 redistricting cycle.

  • Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA)
    NYC REDISTRICTING COMMISSION Public Testimony – August 23, 2012 My name is Matthew Katz and I have represented, by Island-wide election, the residential community of Roosevelt Island through four terms—eight years—on the Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA). Roosevelt Island was created in 1969 through a 99-year lease between the City of New York and New York State. Prior to that, the island, then known as Welfare Island, had a negligible population, now grown to 14,000 people. It was intended to be a diverse demographic, and in fact, encompasses low-income, middle-income and affluent residents with 60 languages spoken here. By virtue of its island insularity and the presence of a State peace officer department, Pubic Safety, the Island is recognized by the diplomatic community as a safe place to relocate families, and we have welcomed many United Nations families to our shores. The Island is administered by a State public authority, the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC), whose officers and directors are appointed by the Governor. RIRA has worked for fifteen years to require and increase resident influence in the decision-making processes, and in fact, legislation was enacted in 2002 requiring the RIOC Board of Directors to include a majority of Island residents. In 2008 and 2009, we presented six Island residents to the Governor, chosen in Island referenda, who were ultimately appointed to that Board. These steps towards grassroots democracy did not take place in a vacuum. We have been supported down the line by our elected representatives, whose primary district areas are located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
