Now before the Court are defendants’ motion to dismiss this action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) or, in the alternative, for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56, and plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment pursuant to the same rule. For the reasons stated below, defendants’ motion for summary judgment is granted, and plaintiffs’ motion is denied. BACKGROUND The following facts are drawn from the parties’ submissions in connection with this motion. Disputes are noted. In a 1993 city-wide referendum, New York City voters adopted an amendment to the City Charter instituting a two-term limit for city officials by a vote of 59% in favor versus 41% against, with over one million votes cast. Plaintiffs’ Statement of Material Facts at ¶ 4 (“SMF”); Swain Decl. at ¶ 4(a). The City Charter was accordingly amended to state that it was the public policy of the City of New York to limit the eligibility to run for office of the Mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough presidents or council members to persons who had not served to or more - 4 - consecutive terms in the office they sought to fill.3 In 1996, City Council members presented a proposal to City voters in a referendum seeking to extend term limits from two terms to three terms, which voters rejected by a margin of 54% against versus 46% in favor. SMF at ¶¶ 5, 7; Swain Decl. at ¶ 4(b). At an October 2, 2008 press conference, Mayor Bloomberg announced his plan to support a City Council legislative proposal to alter term limits and to run for reelection, citing the impending economic crisis as the justification. Ex. 28, Press Release, Mayor Bloomberg Addresses New Yorkers About Term Limits, Office of the Mayor, October 2, 2008. The media reported extensive opposition by good-government groups, media columnists, and government officials to the change in the law.4 Local Law 51 (the “term-limits amendment”), amending New 3As enacted pursuant to the 1993 Referendum, the City Charter’s term- limits provisions provided, in pertinent part: § 1137. Public Policy. It is hereby declared to be the public policy of the City of New York to limit to not more than eight consecutive years the time elected officials can serve as mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president and council member so that elected representatives are “citizen representatives” who are responsive to the needs of the people and are not career politicians. § 1138. Term Limits. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this charter, no person shall be eligible to be elected or to serve in the office of mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president or council member if that person has previously held such office for two or more consecutive terms (including in the case of council member at least one four-year term), unless one full term or more has elapsed since that person last held such office... 4See, e.g., Ex. 32, Keith B. Richburg, Bloomberg Is Said to Seek Reelection Despite Term Limit, Wash. Post., October 1, 2008, at A2; Ex. 36, Michael Barbaro, Big Change at Hand, Political Pugilists Are Unusually Calm, N.Y. Times, October 4, 2008, at B1; Ex. 37, David Chen, Clinton: Path is ‘Disturbing’, N.Y. Times, October 16, 2008, at A 36. - 5 - York City Charter §§ 1137-38 to extend the number of terms an official could serve consecutively from two to three terms, was introduced on October 7, 2008, “by request of the mayor.” SMF at ¶ 10; N.Y. City Council Introduction 845 of 2008. On October 9, 2008, plaintiff Council members de Blasio, James, and Gotbaum submitted a request for an advisory opinion to the Conflicts of Interest Board of the City of New York (the “Board”), seeking an opinion on whether the City Charter’s conflicts-of-interest provisions would bar term-limited City officials from enacting the term-limits amendment. See Oct. 9. 2008 Letter to Conflicts Board. On October 15, 2008, the Conflicts Board issued its opinion concluding that no violation of the conflicts laws existed or would occur. See Conflicts of Interest Board, Advisory Opinion No. 2008-3 (“COIB Op.”). On October 22, 2008, Council members de Blasio and James commenced a special proceeding against the Board and the City Council, pursuant to N.Y. C.P.L.R. Article 78, in the Supreme Court of New York County.5 They sought judicial review of the Board’s Advisory Opinion and provisional emergency injunctive relief to postpone a Council vote on the term-limits amendment. See Ex. 55, Transcript of October 22, 2008 hearing. Chief Justice Silbermann of the New York Supreme Court denied the application for a temporary restraining order and declined to sign the proposed order to show 5de Blasio et al. v. Conflicts of Interest Bd., Index No. 114189/08 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. County) (Silbermann, J.). - 6 - cause, finding that the matter was not then justiciable. See id. As the term-limits amendment was being prepared, plaintiffs de Blasio and James, along with Council member David Weprin, sponsored Introduction 858 of 2008, which would establish a Charter revision commission6 to put the issue of term limits before New York voters in a referendum by special election in early 2009. See de Blasio Aff. at ¶ 7; James Aff. at ¶ 12. This resolution is still pending in the Council. See de Blasio Aff. at ¶ 7. On October 23, 2008, the City Council voted 28 to 22, with one abstention, against a resolution to put the matter of term limits to a vote by public referendum.

  • Remembering Guy Molinari (1928-2018)
    REMEMBERING GUY MOLINARI (1928-2018) For most Americans, the Holiday Season that begins with Thanksgiving and culminates on New Year's Eve is a time of celebration, reflection, and remembrance. Many thousands of Americans, in the Counting of their Blessings this year, will give Thanks to having had a Public Servant who made a positive impact on their lives and livelihoods. That person is former Congressman Guy Molinari, who departed this life on July 25 at the age of 89. If there is one word that comes to mind by those who had the privilege of having known Guy Molinari, that word is “Courage.” Courage is what Molinari exhibited when he joined the Marine Corps as a young man. At a celebratory stop at a bar in, ironically, Washington, D. C., en route to Basic Training at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Molinari led his fellow recruits to walk out of that bar in protest of a racist bartender who refused to serve one of the young men in Molinari's group who was African-American. Once in the Corps, Molinari, armed with a Law Degree, stood up to superior Officers Indifferent or Hostile towards Justice. In the frozen fields of South Korea Molinari thus established a personal template that would guide him through the rest of his extraordinary life; he would be a champion of those falsely accused of wrongdoing. Molinari returned from the Korean War to his beloved Staten Island in 1953. It was there he turned to the practice of real estate law. The rule of law was a principle by which Molinari was raised; his Grand-parents had immigrated to the U.

    The Honorable Susan Molinari U.S. Representative of New York (1990–1997) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript January 8, 2016 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “We all bring our experiences to a discussion, and there are all different experiences, and so I did take very seriously the experience of being a female and bringing that to the discussion. I was not one of those people—sometimes I would go up to somebody and say they did this, and they’d be like, ‘I am not going to be the female legislator.’ And I totally respect that, but that was not me; I was going to be the female legislator. If there was something that was going on that was ticking me off with regard to women, anyplace, I was going to be the female. So, I took that very seriously. There was a reason I was there.” The Honorable Susan Molinari January 8, 2016 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information ii Interviewer Biographies iii Interview 1 Notes 57 Abstract Raised in a political family, Susan Molinari’s relationship with her father, Congressman Guy Molinari, greatly influenced her road to Congress. As the only Republican on the city council of New York, and the daughter of a well-known politician, Molinari used her notoriety and experience to win a seat in the U.S. House. She made history as only the second daughter to directly succeed her father in Congress. Her youth and political lineage garnered the attention of the Republican Leadership and the respect of her colleagues.

  • Unconventional Cancer Treatments
    Unconventional Cancer Treatments September 1990 OTA-H-405 NTIS order #PB91-104893 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Unconventional Cancer Treatments, OTA-H-405 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1990). For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing OffIce, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword A diagnosis of cancer can transform abruptly the lives of patients and those around them, as individuals attempt to cope with the changed circumstances of their lives and the strong emotions evoked by the disease. While mainstream medicine can improve the prospects for long-term survival for about half of the approximately one million Americans diagnosed with cancer each year, the rest will die of their disease within a few years. There remains a degree of uncertainty and desperation associated with “facing the odds” in cancer treatment. To thousands of patients, mainstream medicine’s role in cancer treatment is not sufficient. Instead, they seek to supplement or supplant conventional cancer treatments with a variety of treatments that exist outside, at varying distances from, the bounds of mainstream medical research and practice. The range is broad—from supportive psychological approaches used as adjuncts to standard treatments, to a variety of practices that reject the norms of mainstream medical practice. To many patients, the attractiveness of such unconventional cancer treatments may stem in part from the acknowledged inadequacies of current medically-accepted treatments, and from the too frequent inattention of mainstream medical research and practice to the wider dimensions of a cancer patient’s concerns.

Johnson Administrator REceIVED United States Environmental Protection Agency Ariel Rios Building OCT 2 ~ 2005 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue N.,W. OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT Mail Code: 1101A Washington, D.C. 20460 Re: Petition filing: Objecting to the Granting of a Title V Air Permit for New York Power Authority's "In-City" Power Plant, Pouch Terminal, Staten Island (Rosebank) Dear Administrator Johnson: This letter is to serve as my petition to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), objecting to the recent approval by EPA Region 2 of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's (DEC) Title V permit for the New York Power Authority's (NYPA) "in-city" power plant in the Rosebank section of Staten Island, known as the Pouch Terminal site. For the record, I am objecting to the permit for only this facility; I have no issue with any of the other recently constructed "in-city" NYPA power plants that concurrently received a Title V permit. As borough president of Staten Island, the Rosebank power plant is the one facility out of the 11 that necessitates an objection to this Title V air permit for one specific reason: it is the only one built directly across the street from residences. While my issues are outlined below, they are also covered in more detail in several attachments I am including to this letter: Attachment #1 : The December 20, 2001, testimony of then-borough

  • On ALTERNATIVE Or NON-TRADITIONAL CANCER THERAPIES and TREATMENTS by EMANUEL REVICI, M.D
    CONGRESSIONAL PUBLICHEARING BEFORE: CONGRESSMAN GUY V. MOLINARI on ALTERNATIVE or NON-TRADITIONAL CANCER THERAPIES and TREATMENTS BY EMANUEL REVICI, M.D. PRESENT: MICHAEL TORRUSIO DIANE CISMOWSKI, Court Reporter 26 Federal Plaza New York, New York March 18, 1988 9:55 o'clock a.m. MOLINARI 1 CONGRESSMAN GUY MOLINARI: This is Guy Molinari, representing the 14th Congressional District. We would like to get started here this morning. I have prepared a formal opening statement, which has probably been distributed, but I choose not to read that. Instead, let me set the record here by relating some of my prior experiences in a similar matter a couple of years back. It was a great learning experience for me, a very disturbing experience as well. Similar to what happened preliminary to this formal hearing today, several years ago our governmental agencies were instrumental in bringing pressure upon the Pan American Health Organization. In turn, it brought pressure upon the Bahamian Government, and the Bur­ ton clinic in Freeport, Bahamas, was closed. Some forty or fifty patients of Burton visited Washington and appealed to those of us that took time out of our day to listen to them to try to help. Now, I'm certainly not an expert in this field, but I do have a heart. I saw a look of panic in the faces of the people, and I made one promise to them that day, and that was to get down to Freeport and to see for myself what was going on.
