  • What They're Saying About Amazon's Long Island City HQ2 Announcement
    Date: November 14, 2018 Contact: [email protected] What They’re Saying About Amazon’s Long Island City HQ2 Announcement “I also don’t understand why a company as rich as Amazon would need nearly $2 billion in public money.” New York Post Editorial Board: “Sure looks like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos just fleeced Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio as rubes.” “New York is offering vastly more than Virginia for its half of the new Amazon headquarters. What’s up with that? The city and state ponied up nearly $3 billion in grants, credits and so on over 25 years. Down south, Amazon is getting $573 million plus $195 million in infrastructure upgrades. Sure looks like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos just fleeced Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio as rubes.” (Editorial Board, New York Post, “The Amazon deal is no win for New Yorkers,” 11.13.2018) Governor Cuomo and New Yorkers paid “more than twice what the other supposed headquarters are paying.” “A company like Amazon could present an opportunity to collect more taxes to fix the crumbling foundation. Instead, Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio made a deal with Jeff Bezos that cost the city more than twice what the other supposed headquarters are paying.” (Cale Guthrie Weissman, Fast Company, “New York got played by Amazon,” 11.13.18) Virginia taxpayers paid "about half of the $61,000 per job that Amazon said it will receive from New York to create the same number of jobs at the site in Long Island City in Queens." "Virginia’s state and local governments agreed to shell out as much as $796 million in tax incentives and infrastructure improvements over the next 15 years in exchange for 25,000 well- paying tech jobs.

  • Letter to the Public Service Commission Chair
    November 19, 2019 Hon. John Rhodes Chair New York State Public Service Commission 3 Empire State Plaza - 20th Floor Albany, NY 12223 Re: Rate case nos. 19-G-0309 and 19-G-0310, Keyspan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid and the Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a/ National Grid NY Dear Chairman Rhodes: We are writing to you today to urge the New York State Public Service Commission to decline National demanded rate increases. Moreover, we request that the Commission initiate a penalty proceeding for National to the lives of both individuals and businesses, and a separate prudence proceeding into the failure to invest in necessary measures to avoid this moratorium in Kings, Nassau, Queens, and Suffolk Counties. I. The Rate Cases As we are sure you know, Long Island and New York City have some of the highest electric rates in the United States. In addition, the cost of living in the five counties served by National Grid is among the highest in New York State. This results in extreme, unequal financial pressures on low- and moderate-income homeowners and apartment dwellers. Simultaneously, despite natural gas prices continually dropping over the past 10 years, National Grid has increased their gas prices. National Grid has stated that this is for investment in infrastructure, but as we can see from the moratorium, not much of that extra money made it there. the counties in New York City, and approximately a 7% increase for the Long Island counties. The Companies also proposed $1.5 billion in infrastructure investments purportedly aimed at enabling them to provide safe, reliable, and affordable service.

INTRODUCTION For the first time in 27 years, on Wednesday, February 13, 2019, joint public hearings of the New York State legislature were held on the subject of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. February’s hearing was convened in response to a troubling pattern of high rates of persistent and continuing harassing behavior over the past quarter century. More currently and specifically, the hearing was an outgrowth of and response to the courageous efforts of seven former New York State legislative employees who witnessed, reported, or experienced sexual harassment during their time working in State government. At the urging of these brave women and other tireless advocates, the goal of the hearing was to gather information that would reveal opportunities to create stronger and clearer policies and procedures that will endure in public and private sectors throughout the state. Legislative leaders hoped that the hearing might aid in the strengthening of proposed legislation and spur the development of new legislation that will make New York State a leader in workplace safety and anti-harassment law.
