We understand that throughout the COVID-19 crisis, the situation has continuously evolved, but, as the epicenter of one of the largest outbreaks in the U.S., we should be planning ahead to ensure there is statewide coordination in planning for school reopening this fall. As you all know, schools provide much more than just academic instruction services; they are community hubs, and provide social services, food services, health services, childcare services, and specialized services for children with developmental needs. Over the course of the pandemic, our children have missed out on opportunities that schools provide for them and learning remotely full-time has left many children behind. Without the full scope of school resources, the burden has fallen on parents and guardians who are already struggling to balance budgets and manage their time throughout the duration of this crisis. We must work together on their behalf to ensure that come fall, we have a safe and proper learning environment for students statewide, especially those with intellectual and developmental disabilities who rely heavily on in-person instruction.

  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism
    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

  • April 30, 2020 the Honorable Donald J. Trump
    April 30, 2020 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 The Honorable Charles Schumer Senate Minority Leader Hart Senate Office Building, 322 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Mr. President, Minority Leader Schumer & Congressional Leaders: As a fifth stimulus package is being negotiated in Washington, we hope that it includes aid to local governments, especially in states being hit the hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. We write to urge you to direct some of that aid to volunteer fire departments and volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) that are on the front lines of this epidemic and are facing economic devastation as a result. New York State is protected daily by 110,000 volunteer firefighters in nearly 900 fire districts. According to the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY), the services provided by volunteer fire departments save New York taxpayers more than $3 billion per year. New York State has been the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak for months, with more than 290,000 positive cases. COVID-19 is taking its toll on our communities both personally and financially. We simply cannot afford to lose our volunteer fire departments and volunteer EMS as a result. We respectfully request that you consider these recommendations to provide direct assistance to volunteer fire departments and volunteer EMS to help them survive this pandemic: Ensure federal reimbursement to volunteer fire departments and volunteer EMS for personal protective equipment (PPE), such as face shields, gloves, gowns, goggles and glasses, head covers, masks, respirators, and shoe covers in conformance with FDA requirements.

  • June 4, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M
    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.

We are in desperate need of your position and influence to drive some changes home. In your first year as Govemor, you have made significant imoads into some long-standing sacred cows; I implore you, on behalf of the children to address another sacred cow ... that being funding for public education. Since the 2008-2009 school year the budget within my district has increased a total of $225,279, which translates into an average aruma! budget increase of0.4%. My Board of Education strives to provide the children of our community the best possible education and program opportunities the "community can afford." In the difficult fiscal times, the Board has done its best to hold the line on spending increases while being confronted with mandated increases in pension contributions, mandates in Special Education along with their associated costs that exceed those required under federal law, and increased costs in employee benefits.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: November 2, 2018 Karyn Burns-Gerling, MACNY (315) 474-4201 (Office) (315) 317-3402 (Cell) [email protected] MIPAC Announces 2018 Senate and Assembly Legislative Endorsements Statewide Manufacturing Association’s Political Action Committee Releases Endorsement of Pro-Business Candidates MIPAC, The Manufacturing & Industry Political Action Committee and the political action committee arm of MACNY, The Manufacturers Association and The Manufacturers Alliance of New York State today announced their 2018 candidate endorsements. This year, MIPAC looked to endorse pro-manufacturing and reform-minded candidates from all areas throughout New York State, focusing their attention on key issues, including corporate tax reductions for pass through manufacturers, strengthening the State’s workforce development platform, workers compensation issues, and the increasing regulatory burdens in New York State. This year, MIPAC recognized its growing statewide presence, and is actively participating in races from across the State. MIPAC member Nathan Andrews stated, "This year we were pleased to review responses and voting records from a number of statewide candidates. We looked for those who would best represent issues important to the state's manufacturers. We have always maintained and understood that we will not always agree with our representatives on every issue. What is most critical is that issues important to manufacturers are heard and understood, that the lines of communication always remain open, and that good policy and open government remain priorities first and foremost to those candidates we support.” Andrews continued, “Our sector has a number of policy driven concerns, to include costly and burdensome areas such as Paid Family Leave and the Bereavement Bill.

  • How Greta Thunberg's Lone Strike Against Climate Change Became A
    Subscribe HOME POLITICS POLITICS FEATURES MARCH 5, 2019 9:42AM ET How Greta Thunberg’s Lone Strike Against Climate Change Became a Global Movement The 16-year-old Swedish activist’s #FridaysForFuture protests have galvanized young people around the world By KATE ARONOFF Greta Thunberg at a nature reserve outside Stockholm in January Photograph by Anna Tärnhuvud At the end of a record-hot summer in Sweden last August, then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg decided she would not be going back to school. Frustrated by the lack of attention paid to the existential threat of global warming — not least by politicians campaigning for upcoming elections — she set up outside the Swedish parliament with a water bottle, her rucksack filled with books and snacks and a homemade sign announcing her “School Strike for Climate.” “I tried to bring people along to join me,” she says — she’d been inspired by the Parkland, Florida, students who walked out of class to protest gun violence — “but no one was really interested, and so I had to do it by myself.” ADVERTISEMENT Thunberg wasn’t alone for long. By the end of the first week, her strike had drawn coverage from Sweden’s biggest newspapers. As reporters flocked and she handed out fliers bearing the message “You grownups don’t give a shit about my future,” supporters dropped by to join the homespun protest on their lunch breaks. After three weeks of missed classes, Thunberg finally went back to school — mostly. She still strikes every Friday. Now she’s become the unexpected founder of an international youth movement.
