ARE STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS THINGS OF THE PAST? THE INCREASING ROLE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION IN STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE* ROBERT F WILLIAMS** Increasing use of the constitutional commission as an auxiliary device for initiating both major and minor changes is one of the most significant developments in the procedure of modernizing state constitutions. Constitutional commissions were developed initially, and have been used primarily, as auxiliary staff arms of state legislative assemblies. Their principal function has been to provide expert advice on constitutional problems and issues and to propose and draft amendments, revisions, and even entire constitutions. The 1968 Florida Constitution was the first state organic law to accord constitutional status to the commission as a formal method of proposing constitutional change.

Galie* & Christopher Bopst** I think the people of the state said they want something done and they want it done now . Let‘s act.1 —Governor Andrew Cuomo The bill was muscled through with disturbing speed after days of secret negotiations and a late-night vote Monday by state senators who had barely read the complicated measure before passing it.2 —The New York Times ************************************************************* Three days of debate, everyone has an opinion, it‘s entirely transparent, [and] we never reach resolution . I get 100 percent for transparency. I get zero for results.3 —Governor Andrew Cuomo A legislature that rushes critical, controversial bills to passage is one that deliberately excludes the public. A legislature that cannot wait three days to revise a mission statement governs by crisis. This must stop.4 —Syracuse Post Standard ************************************************************* * Professor Emeritus, Canisius College, Buffalo, New York. ** Partner, Goldberg Segalla LLP, Buffalo, New York. The authors would like to thank John Drexelius, former chief legislative aide to retired State Senator Dale M.

  • Class B Fire Suppression Foam Usage Survey
    Class B Fire Suppression Foam Usage Survey - New York State Airports If a respondent indicated that the facility used/stored/disposed PFOA/PFOS substances, it does not necessarily mean that there is an environmental/public health concern associated with that facility. Also, if a respondent indicated that they currently/formerly used, stored, disposed of, or released Class B firefighting foam it does not necessarily mean that the foam contains/contained PFOA/PFOS since many Class B foams do not contain these substances. DEC is in the process of reviewing/evaluating the returned surveys to determine if additional follow-up or study is needed. Return rate: 91 surveys were sent to facilities; 90 were returned completed as of June 1, 2017. Questions 1 & 2 relate to name and address; questions 3-5 relate to facility ownership.

The natural gas- and oil-fueled generating unit began commercial operation in March, 1977. It has been operating since September, 2002 under the terms of a joint agreement with the State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the City of New York, the Borough of Queens and other interested parties that curtailed its output to limit emissions. The joint agreement also stipulated that the plant must cease operations no later than January 31 st of this year. In return for agreeing to cease operations, NYPA's state licensing application to build and operate a new 500-MW, combined-cycle, natural gas-fired power plant at the Poletti site received the support of the city, the surrounding community, and various interested parties. The 500-MW facility began commercial operation in December, 2005, helping the Power Authority to meet the electricity requirements of its governmental customers in New York City and the thousands of public facilities they operate.
