PURPOSE: To discuss the current and future economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on small businesses, including farms, across New York State and whether the federal response is sufficient in relation to the disproportionate impact on the State and effective in targeting the businesses most in need. Wednesday, May 13, 2020 10 a.m. Web Link: https://www.nysenate.gov/events https://www.nyassembly.gov/av/live/ ORAL TESTIMONY BY INVITATION ONLY New York State has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the country, and as a result, small businesses statewide are facing dire economic conditions. Beginning March 12, the Governor issued a series of Executive Orders requiring non-essential workers and owners of businesses across the state to stay at home or practice strict social distancing to protect the public health. As a result of these restrictions, most small businesses have had to shut their doors or drastically reduce or modify operations, placing their continued existence and financial stability at risk. Even those considered essential, such as farms and grocery stores, have been severely impacted by declines in demand, supply chain interruptions and new production challenges due to new safety measures in the workplace.

  • Lessons from New York's Recent Experience with Capital Punishment
    BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR: LESSONS FROM NEW YORK’S RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT James R. Acker* INTRODUCTION On March 7, 1995, Governor George Pataki signed legislation authorizing the death penalty in New York for first-degree murder,1 representing the State’s first capital punishment law enacted in the post- Furman era.2 By taking this action the governor made good on a pledge that was central to his campaign to unseat Mario Cuomo, a three-term incumbent who, like his predecessor, Hugh Carey, had repeatedly vetoed legislative efforts to resuscitate New York’s death penalty after it had been declared unconstitutional.3 The promised law was greeted with enthusiasm. The audience at the new governor’s inauguration reserved its most spirited 4 ovation for Pataki’s reaffirmation of his support for capital punishment. * Distinguished Teaching Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany; Ph.D. 1987, University at Albany; J.D. 1976, Duke Law School; B.A. 1972, Indiana University. In the spirit of full disclosure, the author appeared as a witness at one of the public hearings (Jan. 25, 2005) sponsored by the Assembly Committees discussed in this Article. 1. Twelve categories of first-degree murder were made punishable by death under the 1995 legislation, and a thirteenth type (killing in furtherance of an act of terrorism) was added following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. N.Y. PENAL LAW § 125.27 (McKinney 2003). Also detailed were the procedures governing the prosecution’s filing of a notice of intent to seek the death penalty, N.Y.

    MEDICAL SOCIETY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK’S 2019 Physician Advocacy Day SPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES Senator Gustavo Rivera State Senator Gustavo Rivera has represented the 33rd Senate District in the Bronx since November of 2010. The 33rd Senate District includes the neighborhoods of Kingsbridge Heights, East Tremont, Crotona Park, Fordham, Mount Hope, Belmont, Van Nest, Claremont, and Morris Park. In 2018, Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins appointed Senator Rivera as the Chair of the New York State Senate’s Health Committee. As the Chair, Senator Rivera’s goal is to collaborate with his colleagues, stakeholders, and constituents to improve health outcomes, increase access to coverage, and ensure a financially viable system for the 20 million New Yorkers he proudly serves. Prior to his appointment to Chair, Senator Rivera served as the ranking member of the Senate Health Committee for six years. As a sitting member of the committee, Senator Rivera passed three laws to ban smoking around schools, afterschools, and libraries, and has been a champion of public health and harm reduction policies. In March 2017, he became the main sponsor of the “New York Health Act,” an innovative bill to create a single payer health system in New York State. Senator Rivera has also championed and empowered Latino communities across New York State and the United States. In 2018, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) elected Senator Rivera to serve an initial three-year term on the nonpartisan organization's 35-member Board of Directors. Senator Rivera has also served as a mentor for the annual Model State Senate program, "Somos El Futuro", sponsored by CUNY, SUNY, the NY State Assembly, and the Puerto Rican Hispanic Task Force.

The Employer Alliance for Affordable Health Care, is the largest, single-issue business coalition in New York State. With more than 1,200 members that employ more than 90,000 people across the state, Alliance members are dedicated to maintaining quality, affordable health care for all New Yorkers. The 2001 report card, released on Feb. 28, shows that 16 voted consistently against mandates that would raise health insurance premiums. According to Alliance Board Chairman Scott Miller, grades for the 2001 Report Card were based on votes cast on seven pieces of key legislation, bill introduction record and other factors that demonstrate a commitment to affordable health care. Senator Neil Breslin (D-42) and Assembly member Robert Warner (R-124) were the only two legislators to receive a perfect score of A+. -More- • • • • • PO Box 1412 Albany, NY 12201-1412 (315) 363-9659 fax (315) 363-9657 (e) [email protected] THE EMPLOYER ALLIANCE for Affordable Health Care • • • • • Press Release Report Card Ranks Lawmakers Health Care Voting Record / Page 2 Other lawmakers receiving a grade of “A-” or higher include: assembly members Anthony Casale, Thomas Kirwin and John Faso, Robin Schimminger, Thomas Barraga, and senators James L.
