  • June 4, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M
    June 4, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York Executive Chamber State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: Our state’s successful recovery from the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on how quickly we transition from a state of near total lockdown to a fully functioning and vibrant economy. One sector that has been deemed necessary from day one, construction related to essential infrastructure, is key to this success. However, $743 million in local infrastructure construction and maintenance projects are on hold due to inaction by the state. We appreciate your recent statements about the importance of infrastructure investment as a critical and effective way to help restart and stimulate our economy and get people back to work. At your briefing you said: “There is no better time to build than right now. You need to start the economy, you need to create jobs, and you need to renew and repair this country’s economy and infrastructure. Now is the time to do it.” We could not agree more. And while your remarks thus far have focused on larger, regionally significant downstate tunnels and mass transit needs, we are confident that you fully recognize the importance of local transportation infrastructure projects to the vitality of so many upstate, rural economies, and to the statewide transportation system as a whole. Our Assembly Minority Conference and other legislative colleagues worked together with you this year to enact a fully committed and dedicated plan to invest in the local transportation infrastructure network through vital programs like CHIPS, PAVE-NY, BRIDGE-NY, and Extreme Winter Recovery.

    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.

Beginning in 2010, the New Yorkers for Better Libraries PAC initi- ated a program of legislative accountability: Statement Concerning Legislative Accountability The New Yorkers for Better Libraries Political Action Commit- tee has determined that there is a need for greater accountabil- ity concerning state legislators’ actions on issues of importance to the library community and the millions of library users and voters throughout the state. Beginning in 2010, the New Yorkers for Better Libraries Political Action Committee will track library-related state legislation and will publish a report card/voters guide concerning each state leg- islator’s degree of support for libraries. Sponsorship and co-spon- sorship of legislation, recorded votes concerning library legislation and state aid for libraries will be the indicators for assessment.

Gunther Chair, Assembly Committee on Mental Health Legislative Office Building, Room 826 Albany, NY 12248 Hon. Didi Barrett Chair, Assembly Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Legislative Office Building, Room 841 Albany, NY 12248 Dear Speaker Heastie, Chairwomen Gunther and Barrett: We write to request that the Majority Conference immediately release all available funding for the Joseph P. Dwyer Veterans Peer-to-Peer Support Program. As you are aware, more than $4.5 million was allocated in the 2020-2021 Enacted Budget for this critical initiative. Continuing to delay the distribution of these resources threatens one of the most relied-upon and successful programs serving New York’s veterans. We hope you agree, after all they have given to us, our veteran community deserves all the care, attention and assistance we can provide. The financial impacts of COVID-19 on our state have been devastating. While we appreciate the need for prudent spending during these times, the pandemic has also taken a severe toll on individuals struggling with mental illness or post-traumatic stress. Veterans involved in the Dwyer Peer-to-Peer Program depend greatly on these critical services for their personal health and well- being, employment and housing assistance, and necessary recovery. Last year members of the Assembly Minority Conference toured the state and talked to veterans about looming budget and program cuts, and the impacts such actions would have on critical services. Through collaborative efforts, millions in proposed cuts to the Joseph P.

  • March 10, 2021 Eric J. Soskin Inspector General United States
    March 10, 2021 Eric J. Soskin Inspector General United States Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Ave SE, 7th Floor Washington, DC 20590 Dear Inspector General Soskin: We write to bring to your attention a recent investigative report published on March 7 in the Albany Times Union, which details an alarming potential coverup of major structural problems on the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. Given the serious concerns raised by the article, members of the New York State Assembly Minority Conference request that your office launch an immediate investigation into the structural integrity of the bridge, and whether any attempts were made by state officials to prioritize a rushed completion of the project at the expense of safety concerns. In 2017, the New York State Attorney General launched an investigation into concerns raised with the structural integrity of bolts used in the construction process of the bridge, and whether Tappan Zee Constructors (TZC), a private corporation, falsely certified the bridge’s safety. This investigation resulted in a $2 million settlement with the state, with relevant records sealed from the public. Based on conversations with individuals involved in both the bridge’s construction and Attorney General’s investigation, the Times Union report raises serious and numerous concerns over the bridge’s safety and whether political intervention influenced the investigation. The slow movement of the inquiry, the unusually-low financial settlement reached with TZC, the political considerations at play in finishing the project as quickly as possible, and the failure to publicly release the conclusions of the state’s findings all raise serious concerns about the integrity of the investigation.
