Although the evidence of hard work can be seen in each issue of the journal, certain individuals have been instrumental in this endeavor. Each person has played a vital and significant role, often receiving very little recognition. Lynn Sarda, Director of the Mid-Hudson Teacher Center, has been involved with all aspects of the journal in her role as associate editor. In addition to her varied duties, she has shown a commitment to having Perceptions meet and satisfy the needs of special educators in the field. Dr. Joseph Trippi, special education professor at SUNY New Paltz, has developed a research- to-practice column in past issues. Myrna Calabrese, New York State SETRC trainer, has consistently kept us informed of current issues in the field of special education. More recently, Ralph Flood, consultant teacher for the Wallkill School District, has joined us as an assistant editor, keeping readers aware of practical, useful ideas for the classroom. A special thank you goes to the authors of articles for this past year: Richard Ashcroft, Lyn Bauer, Barbara Bubacz, John Burke, Anthony Chiappone, David H. Crenshaw, Keith L. Curry, Michaela D'Aquanni, Samuel A. DiGangi, Carolyn Eggleston, Connie Flood, Ralph Flood, Herbert L. Foster, John Keck, Everett F. Kelley, Ralph Kerr, Dennis R. King, Gregory Leichty, Rennie Lewin, Nicholas J. Long, Edith Marks, Sidney Miller, Patrick Perryman, Mary Anne Prater, Robert Rutherford, Jr., Robin C. Stall, Steven Throne, Leonard Tuder, and Idajean Windell. Thanks go to Terry Grosser, Advertising Arts and Promotions, who designs and publishes the journal.

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.

    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

    Committee on Election Law Report on Redistricting

    Contact: Maria Cilenti - Director of Legislative Affairs - [email protected] - (212) 382-6655 COMMITTEE ON ELECTION LAW REPORT ON REDISTRICTING REFORM -AND- S.3331 (BONACIC) / A.5271 (GALEF) This report is respectfully submitted by the Election Law Committee (the “Committee”) of the New York City Bar Association (the “Association”) in order to address redistricting reform generally and S.3331/A.5271 specifically. Appended to this report is the Committee’s March 2007 report A Proposed New York State Constitutional Amendment to Emancipate Redistricting from Partisan Gerrymanders (the “Report”). On March 14, 2011, the Senate passed S. 3331, a constitutional amendment relating to reform of the redistricting process. During the debate on S.3331, it was argued that the Association recommends that the redistricting process be reformed by way of constitutional amendment, not by legislation.1 While the Committee is pleased that members of the Legislature are aware of the Report, we wish to take this opportunity to highlight significant and material differences between the recommendations in the 2007 Report and the provisions contained within S.3331/A.5271. We discuss some of those differences here in hopes that the Legislature will adopt the recommendations of the Report during its continuing discussions of redistricting reform. Procedurally, it is correct that the Report recommended proceeding with redistricting reform by constitutional amendment. However, the Report set forth two principal reasons for this recommendation: (1) the amendment proposed by the Association is quite ambitious, such that a constitutional amendment may be needed to avoid quick repeal at a later date, and (2) as of the Report’s issuance in 2007, there was sufficient time to enact a constitutional amendment before the 2012 redistricting cycle.

By the end of this years National Tournament, we will have played 175 games this year alone, proving Aussie Rules is here to stay in the US. Personally, to have been involved with the league since the beginning and to see it grow so quickly fills me with an awesome sense of pride. To name people specifically to thank would be unfair to the hundreds of people who work tirelessly to further grow our great sport. Let me just say to the outgoing and incoming National Board, thanks for all the hard work. Also, to each and every player, coach, supporter and member of the USAFL, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the, often thankless, work you do, just know that I appreciate every minute that you take out of your heavy schedule to devote to Aussie Rules.
