    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.

  • City Planning Begins Public Review for 257 Blocks in North
    About Us > Press Releases FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 20th, 2009 CONTACT: Rachaele Raynoff / Jennifer Torres (City Planning) (212) 720-3471 CITY PLANNING BEGINS PUBLIC REVIEW FOR 257 BLOCKS IN NORTH FLUSHING, QUEENS TO PROTECT NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER Proposal Creates New Zoning Tool to Prevent Out-of-Scale Single Family Homes January 20, 2009 – City Planning Commissioner Amanda M. Burden today announced the beginning of public review to protect 257 blocks of North Flushing, Queens, one of the Bloomberg Administration’s largest contextual rezonings. The rezoning was undertaken in response to community concerns that recent developments have been out-of-context with established neighborhood character and built fabric. Concurrently, Commissioner Burden announced the creation of a new contextual zoning district, R1-2A, developed to ensure that new single-family houses are consistent with the prevailing neighborhood scale and fabric. Crafted with close consultation from local elected officials, community board members and local civic associations, the proposal exemplifies the Bloomberg Administration’s sustained commitment to protect New York’s neighborhoods by updating decades old zoning to reinforce their built character. “Good planning requires that we recognize and tailor zoning to the unique needs of each one of our neighborhoods. Working closely with the community and Council Members Avella and Liu we have developed a fine-grained rezoning to protect North Flushing, one of the city’s most beautiful, low-density communities” said City Planning Commissioner Amanda M. Burden. “Expanding our toolbox, we have developed a new zoning designation, R1-2A, to ensure better protections for the existing building form and context. Today’s actions underscore the Bloomberg Administration’s commitment to safeguarding our quality of life and to ensuring that future development reflects the character of the city’s neighborhoods.

  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    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.

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..
