Montgomery finds fault with the current judicial selection process, but is wary of a merit-based appoint- ment system because it could possibly lead to a lack of diversity on the bench. She supports the creation of an independent redistricting commission to draw state legislative district lines, and argues that downstate districts are under represented, largely due to the counting of prisoners at their prison location for determination of district size. Montgomery recently drafted a bill that has been passed by both houses of the Legislature, and awaits approval by the Governor, which would help formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate into the job market and reduce recidi- vism by amending the general business law to prevent licensing agencies from dis- qualifying someone from receiving a license to become a barber or cosmetologist solely on the basis of a criminal conviction. She also sponsored a bill that would grant $1 million to the Department of Education to establish extracurricular activ- ities in the state’s largest school districts, which she believes, will help reduce dropout rates and crime. Montgomery has voiced concern over several elements of the plan to develop the Atlantic Rail Yards, specifically the possibility that the massive development project would price long term residents and business owners out of their communities.

  • November 11, 2009 Senator David Valesky 416 State Capitol Building
    November 11, 2009 Senator David Valesky 416 State Capitol Building Albany, New York 12247 Dear Senators Valesky and Bonacic: We write regarding the work of the Temporary Committee on Rules Reform. First, we congratulate the Senate on making significant strides in reforming its operating rules to distribute member resources more equitably, allow members to move legislation to the floor over the wishes of the majority leader, impose term limits on chamber leadership, and increase transparency for the actions of individual members, committees and the full chamber. All of these are significant reforms that provide the Senate with the opportunity to become a more accessible, accountable and efficient chamber. And they place the Senate far ahead of the Assembly in creating a more democratic body, where rank-and-file members will have a greater opportunity to represent their constituents and ensure that the concerns of those constituents get a public airing in the full chamber. Our greatest reservation about the Senate’s rules changes thus far has been the failure to significantly alter the committee process. Based on our studies in this area, as well as our work in other state legislatures and Congress, we believe that there is no area in the New York state legislative process in greater need of reform than the committee process. We understand from communications with Senators and legislative staff that the Temporary Committee plans to take up this important topic in the coming weeks. As you are aware, Senators currently sit on so many committees that it is difficult for many these Senators to devote enough time to any of them.

    Breakaway Group in New York Senate Becomes an Island of Power - T... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/08/nyregion/breakaway-group-in-new-... http://nyti.ms/2ey4skG N.Y. / REGION Breakaway Group in New York Senate Becomes an Island of Power By JESSE McKINLEY NOV. 7, 2016 ALBANY — As the fraught and expensive battle to control the New York State Senate comes to a climax on Tuesday, there is already one likely winner. No, not the Republicans, who currently lead the Senate, or even the Democrats. The only seemingly sure thing? Senator Jeffrey D. Klein, leader of the Independent Democratic Conference, a band of renegade Democrats who have worked hand in hand with the Republican majority for the last four years. Mr. Klein has seen his breakaway coalition morph from an annoyance and a curiosity into a legitimate island of power; this year, his group added Marisol Alcantara, the Democratic nominee for the Senate district covering neighborhoods in northern and western Manhattan. On Monday, the conference added its seventh member: Senator Jesse Hamilton, a Brooklyn Democrat, who said in a statement that he joined the coalition because “they get results.” The biggest question in Albany is whom will Mr. Klein, who represents parts of the Bronx and Westchester County, align with if there is a new Democratic majority. And while no one knows for certain, one thing seems clear: It is good to be the Independent Democratic Conference. “They are in the catbird’s seat,” said Douglas Muzzio, a professor of political 1 of 5 11/10/2016 11:18 AM Breakaway Group in New York Senate Becomes an Island of Power - T..

  • THE STATE of EARLY LEARNING in NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT out Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care by Legislative District
    BRIEFING GUIDE THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care By Legislative District What New York Leaders Need to Do Now Recommendations for 2019-20 Enacted Budget Acknowledgments Preparation of this report was truly a team effort by the Ready for Kindergarten, Ready for College Campaign including Betty Holcomb, Center for Children’s Initiatives, Marina Marcou O’Malley, the Alliance for Quality Education, Dorothy (Dede) Hill, the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Pete Nabozny, The Children’s Agenda for valuable data analysis and editing. Special thanks to Jennifer March, executive director, Citizens’ Committee for Children and to the Committee’s data and research team, including Marija Drobnjak, and Sophia Halkitis, for the providing data on subsidized child care in New York City. In addition, we want to thank the National Alliance for Early Success, the New York Community Trust, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Partnership for America’s Children for their support. THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT | 2 OPPORTUNITIES DENIED Working Families And The State’s Youngest Learners Left Out HIGHLIGHTS • The Governor’s proposal to add just $15 million for pre-K for 3- and 4- year olds, is unlikely to add even the 3,000 new seats he promises, and falls dismally short of rising need and unmet demand. More than 100 districts gave formal notice of interest in adding pre-K last October. • 80,000 four-year-olds across the state – mostly outside New York City – still have no full-day pre-K.

HOMELAND SECURITY & KAMINSKY@NYSENATE GOV SENATOR TODD KAMINSKY MILITARY AFFAIRS 9TH SENATE DISTRICT Dear Colleague, Please join me in working toward immediately decoupling state aid from teacher evaluations before the end of this yea?s legislative session. With only five days left, the time to work together and act is now. Action is needed to protect crucial state funding for schools from each of the districts that we represent. Linking essential school funding with the implementation of a teacher evaluation system which has been universally discredited and rushed makes little sense. Moreover, evidence demonstrates that many schools are having difficulty meeting the Albany-mandated criteria, raising deep concerns that the impending deadline will negatively impact public students. So far, only 121 out of the over 700 school districts in the state have submitted evaluation plans. Our children’s education is too important for partisan politics. That is why I urge you to join me in doing the right thing for our children, families and schools by signing on to my letter urging Majority Leader Flanagan to bring Senate Bill S.7632 to the floor for a vote. By putting partisanship aside and working together we can ensure all of New York’s public school districts receive the state funds they were promised.
