  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

  • Letter to Charles-Lavine.21.03.17
    New York State Assembly KEVIN M. BYRNE KIERAN M. LALOR Assemblyman 94th District Assemblyman 105th District Westchester & Putnam Counties Dutchess County March 17, 2021 Honorable Charles D. Lavine Assemblymember & Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee Legislative Office Building 831 Albany, NY 12248 Chairman Charles Lavine: Throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, our state has been tested in countless ways. Our work is not over, and the scandals coming from the Cuomo Administration have only added to the challenges we all face. The importance of the Judiciary Committee’s responsibility to investigate Governor Cuomo and the administration cannot be overstated. While it is important your committee is provided the time and resources it needs to conduct a thorough investigation, it is critical that there be no delays in your work. It would be wrong to afford Governor Cuomo and his administration the opportunity to further misuse his office by utilizing the budget process to impede or influence your investigation. In our state’s rich long history, only one Governor, William Sulzer, has ever been impeached. Like the Assembly Speaker did in 1913, Speaker Heastie has opted to begin the impeachment process with an investigative committee. The allegations against Governor Cuomo are far more serious and more numerous than those levied against Governor Sulzer, or more recently against Governor Elliot Spitzer. Many of these impeachable offenses were conducted in the middle of a pandemic when millions of New Yorkers were putting their faith in the Legislature and Governor Cuomo to be honest with them. The only thing that will restore the public’s trust in our state government is to provide New Yorkers the unvarnished truth in a timely manner.

Without their assistance and commitment this would not have been possible. Nicole Jordan, Executive Director Raul Espinal, Legislative Coordinator Nicole Weir, Legislative Intern Adrienne L. Johnson, Office of Assemblywoman Annette Robinson New York Red Book The 1977 Black and Puerto Rican Caucus Journal New York State Library Schomburg Research Center for Black Culture New York State Assembly Editorial Services Amsterdam News 2 DEDICATION: Dear Friends, It is with honor that I present to you this up-to-date chronicle of men and women of color who have served in the New York State Legislature. 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.
