  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 03.24.21 Nursing Homes Press Release
    For Immediate Release: March 24, 2021 Contact: Jonathan Heppner | [email protected] | 518-455-2415 Senate Majority to Pass Legislation Repealing Immunity Protections and Further Improving Transparency at Nursing Homes (Albany, NY) Today, the Senate Democrtic Majority will pass the Treatment Protection Act that repeals previous immunity protections that prevented health care facilities, administrators, and executives from being held accountable for harm and damages incurred at facilities. In addition, this package will make sure residents have necessary information on the Long-term Care Ombudsman Program, require that the patients’ bill of rights is offered in New York’s six most spoken languages, and make information related to nursing home assets and operations publicly available. Today’s bills build on legislation passed last month by the Senate Majority to better support and protect nursing home residents. The Senate Majority also held joint statewide public hearings this past year on residential health care facilities and COVID-19 to discuss various issues and concerns directly with the public. “The tragic situation in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a dire need to guarantee greater transparency and accountability,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said. “This legislation, in addition to the nursing home-related reforms recently advanced by the Senate Democratic Majority, continues our strong commitment to prioritizing the wellbeing, rights, and needs of residents and their families. I thank the sponsors for their work on these pressing issues, and we will continue to find ways to improve these facilities.” The legislation being passed by the Senate Majority includes: ● Emergency or Disaster Treatment Protection Act: This bill, S.5177, sponsored by Senator Alessandra Biaggi, repeals the extra protections from liability granted to nursing homes, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities for treating patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The Geography—and New Politics—of Housing in New York City Public Housing Tom Waters, Community Service Society of New York, November 2018 The 178,000 public housing apartments owned and operated by the New York City Housing Authority are often de- scribed as “a city within a city.” The Community Service Society has estimated the numbers of public housing apartments for the New York City portion of each legislative district in the city. These estimates were made by assigning buildings within public housing developments to legislative districts based on their addresses.

First, we will take this opportunity to reiterate our strong support for the PAVE-NY and BRIDGE-NY programs enacted as part of the 2016-17 state budget. These initiatives have provided invaluable funding for additional road paving, and bridge and culvert work for both the state and local systems, and we will look forward to their continuation this year and in future years. Nevertheless, as we continue to address the sustainable future of New York’s locally maintained transportation infrastructure, we must once again highlight the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS), which as you know makes the key difference for so many local communities, economies, governments, motorists, and taxpayers throughout the state.
