SHELDON SILVER Assembly Speaker HON. PETER M. RIVERA Hon. Vito J. LopeZ CHAIRMAN Co-Chairman Dear Friends, MEMBERS: A few statistics speak volumes to the growing influence of Hispanics in our society: approximately Hon. Carmen E. Arroyo 40 million Hispanics currently represent 13.5% of the nation’s population and half of them are Hon. Jeffrion L. Aubry under 25 years old. Hispanics already the largest minority group among children, are expected Hon. Micheal R. Benedetto Hon. Michael Benjamin to become the largest minority group overall by next year. This means that a very large number Hon. William F. Boyland, Jr. of Hispanics are our future students, workers, taxpayers, and business and political leaders. Hon. James F. Brennan New data on further growth among the U.S. Hispanic community underscore that the nation’s Hon. Alec Brook-Krasny priorities and overall well-being will soon have to reflect the issues that matter to Hispanics and Hon. Karim Camara how well the community fares. Hon. Vivian E. Cook Hon. Luis M. Diaz The well-being of Hispanic children and families can help us create a strong, prosperous, and Hon. Ruben Diaz, Jr. fair nation, in which everyone benefits. This prosperity begins with access to a quality education Hon. Jeffrey Dinowitz that needs to be complimented with practical and useful workplace experience. Fellowships and Hon. Adriano Espaillat Hon. Herman D. Farrell, Jr. internships are great opportunities that can help build leadership and workforce skills absent Hon. Sandra R. Galef from a formal college education. Hon. Michael N. Gianaris In New York and elsewhere, Hispanics are dramatically underrepresented in policy making Hon. Aurelia Greene Hon. Diane Gordon positions in government and the corporate sectors. Although the proportion is growing rapidly, Hon. Richard N. Gottfried only 22% of Hispanics have the opportunity to attend colleges and universities and represent Hon. Aileen Gunther 10% of total enrollment. These are problems that negatively impact the economic stability of Hon. Carl Heastie our communities. As the majority population ages out of the labor force, Hispanics should have Hon. Sam Hoyt an opportunity to move into these positions, as long as we continue to prepare ourselves for such Hon. Rhoda S. Jacobs opportunities. Hispanic elected officials recognize these trends and are preparing to aggressively Hon. Hakeem Jeffries Hon. Brian P. Kavanagh address this critically important issue. Hon. Rory I. Lancman The pages that follow are filled with important content that represents sources of funding for Hon. Ivan C. Lafayette college and post-graduate education. In addition, important resources for internships and Hon. Joseph R. Lentol Hon. Margaret M. Markey fellowships are provided for those interested in a career in public service, whether it be work in Hon. Nettie Mayersohn the government or the non-profit sectors. The Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force is Hon. Joan L. Millman proud to be able to provide this important resource. Hon. Catherine T. Nolan Hon. Daniel J. O’Donnell It is our hope that this guide will help our youth to better connect with the people, communities and Hon. Felix Ortiz educational opportunities that will provide them with increased chances for a successful life. This is Hon. Amy Paulin a fundamental requirement in a civil society. Opportunity and achievement, unhindered, leads Hon. Jose R. Peralta to a more informed citizenry that strengthens communities and enriches our entire nation. Hon. Audrey I. Pheffer Hon. Adam Clayton Powell IV This guide is a tool for empowering lives and communities. On behalf of the Task Force, I hope Hon. James Gary Pretlow you find this resource a useful tool that will become part of your family’s library of reference Hon. Philip R. Ramos materials. Hon. Jose Rivera Hon. Naomi Rivera Sincerely, Hon.

  • Report on the State Fiscal Year 2019-20 Executive Budget
    Report on the State Fiscal Year 2019-20 Executive Budget February 2019 Message from the Comptroller February 2019 State tax revenues in December and January fell far short of earlier projections, making the process of adopting the new State budget more difficult than in the recent past. Employment and personal income are expected to continue growing in 2019, although somewhat more slowly than last year. While the Division of the Budget (DOB) also expects higher tax receipts in State Fiscal Year 2019-20, it has reduced projections for the current and next year by a combined $5.7 billion from the estimates issued in November, before proposed actions. There is still uncertainty about all of the factors underlying recent revenue developments. Lingering effects from federal tax changes are likely a significant part of the picture; for example, the new limit on federal deductions for state and local taxes may be changing high-income taxpayers’ timing of certain tax payments. Wall Street volatility in late 2018, including a sharp stock market decline in December, may be affecting financial firms’ bonuses and related non-wage income. It is difficult to quantify those impacts. In addition, information that will provide important insights about how these factors affect Personal Income Tax receipts going forward will not be available until after the start of the new fiscal year on April 1. In light of the unknowns, an exceptionally high degree of caution regarding revenue expectations is advisable this year. While DOB plans $488 million in deposits to rainy day reserves, a good first step, I urge the Governor and the Legislature to make the prudent choice of building these reserves even further to prepare for the inevitable next economic downturn.

  • Exhibit__(CSP-REB-2)
    Exhibit__(CSP-REB-2) Exhibit__(CSP-REB-2) Objective of this Handbook Enhanced customer service is grounded in clear communications and meaningful outreach strategies. As PSEG Long Island sets out to implement an extensive array of reliability projects, it is important that the internal team charged with developing these projects is equipped with a process that calibrates its external affairs strategies to advance any of PSEG Long Island’s reliability initiatives. Management of the outreach process is one of the most important factors in garnering public acceptance and support for reliability infrastructure projects. It is the objective of this internal handbook to outline a process by which PSEG Long Island can develop a tailored external affairs plan for each of its reliability projects. Specifically: transmission, substation, distribution developments and upgrades. This handbook does not propose an entirely new outreach plan for PSEG Long Island, but rather, it is designed to improve internal collaboration between employees involved in all aspects of these projects. This Handbook is designed to be flexible and responsive to a wide variety of external affairs challenges and stakeholder interests. It is built around a five-step approach that supports project- related outreach: Organize, Assess, Prepare, Execute, and Evaluate. This Handbook is designed to be a living document and is subject to change with operational experience. • Part I: Organize – Explains the structure of a project team, underscoring the need for collaboration between the External Affairs team and Project Managers. • Part II: Assess – Outlines an External Affairs Audit for the project team to conduct a comprehensive analysis of a project’s fundamental external affairs challenges.

  • Senate Majority Passes the José Peralta New York State DREAM Act
    For Immediate Release: January 23, 2019 Contact: Gary Ginsburg | [email protected] | 518-455-2415 Senate Majority Passes The José Peralta New York State DREAM Act (Albany, NY) The Senate Majority Conference today passed the José Peralta New York State DREAM Act (S.1250). This legislation will allow undocumented children, who are already students in New York State, the ability to qualify for state aid for higher education, create a Dream Fund for college scholarship opportunities and remove barriers that prevent undocumented families from college saving programs. Allowing undocumented youths to access financial assistance will enable them to earn degrees, access highly skilled employment and support their local economies across New York State. “Today we made it clear that we will continue to stand up for New Yorkers,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said. “We made college more affordable, we have made it possible for all teachers to teach without undue burdens, and we passed tax relief for middle class New Yorkers by making the property tax cap permanent.” Bill Sponsor, Senator Luis Sepúlveda said, “I am honored to sponsor the José Peralta New York State DREAM Act. This essential piece of legislation will create new pathways to higher education for our bright undocumented students who form an important part of our American family. Immigrant workers make approximately 17 percent of the overall labor force in the U.S. In our state, that number is much higher. Immigrants are 25 percent of our labor force and add roughly $100 billion in consumer power to our economy yearly. Immigrant students will now reach even greater heights because of the improved access to a world-class education.

  • In the News – State
    This Week in New York This Week In New York/Page 1 Covering New York State and City Government A Publication of Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC July 12, 2019 Edition In the News – State Governor Cuomo Signs Pay Equity Legislation to Close the Gender Wage Gap Governor Cuomo this week signed legislation that expands equal pay laws to prohibit unequal pay on the basis of a protected class for all substantially similar work (Chapter 93) and forbids employers from asking prospective employees about their salary history (Chapter 94). The Governor signed the measures, key components of his 2019 Women's Justice Agenda, at the ticker-tape parade celebrating the world champion U.S. Women's Soccer Team. "There is no rationale why women should not get paid what men get paid. These are women's soccer players, they play the same game as the men's soccer players, and they play it better - so if there is any economic rationale, the men should get paid less than the women," Governor Cuomo said. "New York will continue to lead the way forward and stand in solidarity with women and girls in every corner of this state. By signing this legislation, we are not only doing the right thing, we are also doing the moral thing and equal pay for equal work is now the law in the State of New York." The legislation prohibits all employers, public and private, who do business in New York State, from asking prospective employees about their salary history and compensation and expands the definition of "equal pay for equal work." These measures build on two executive orders signed by the Governor last year to eliminate the wage gap by prohibiting state entities from evaluating candidates based on wage history and requiring state contractors to disclose data on the gender, race, and ethnicity of employees statewide.
