As state leaders, we are responsible for overseeing the New York metropolitan area’s public transit system run by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the largest unit of state government. In recent years, we have voted repeatedly to create new funding streams to support the growth of MTA services which nine million people depend on every day and which the region would collapse without. Now however, those resources are outmatched by the devastation of the ongoing pandemic. We therefore turn to you for aid. The COVID-19 emergency is unprecedented in our lifetimes. Governor Cuomo says “(New York) government cannot meet this crisis without the capacity of the federal government.”1 We agree, and as champions of public transit, urge you to ensure that the MTA is protected with a second federal aid package of $10.3B in emergency operating support in response to the COVID-19 crisis needed to meet service needs through the end of 2021. The MTA, which represents 38% of all passenger trips among all US public transit agencies2 calculates that the COVID-19 emergency will cost transit authorities up to $36B through 2021. 1 https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/487992-cuomo-coronavirus-peak-could-be-in-45-days 2 https://www.apta.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-APTA-Fact-Book-Appendix-B.xlsx ALBANY OFFICE: Room 557, Legislative Office Building, Albany, New York 12248 • 518-455-5377, FAX: 518-455-5592 DISTRICT OFFICE: 416 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11215 • 718-788-7221, FAX: 718-965-9378 EMAIL: [email protected] A robust federal aid package should ensure the MTA can continue to operate at full capacity while supporting health care workers, essential government personnel, and countless other working New Yorkers as the New York City region and New York State reopen safely following this unprecedented event. We recognize that there are many requests for federal aid, but we emphasize that without a fully functioning MTA, the recovery in the New York City region and New York State will collapse, bringing the national economy down too. Public transit is the lifeblood of our City; it powers the economy and enables the region's growth and success. Affordable, reliable transit is also essential to lifting up the most vulnerable New Yorkers who use it to access jobs, education, and other opportunities. Even as institutions reopen and ridership improves, the MTA’s finances will still be severely impacted by a sharp reduction in dedicated tax revenue caused by the damage to the regional economy from the COVID-19 emergency. City Comptroller Scott Stringer has projected city tax revenue to see at least $9 billion in losses.3 Estimates for the MTA’s losses total $10.3B through 2021.4 It is your responsibility as federal officials to ensure that the MTA along with vulnerable New Yorkers will survive this pandemic. New York State and City governments will not be in a position to provide additional aid to the MTA beyond what has already been provided by its historic 2020-2024 Capital Plan, as they too will be hit by severely reduced tax revenues, as noted by Governor Cuomo and City Comptroller Stringer. We also ask that you ensure congestion pricing obtains federal approval so that it can provide $15 billion in desperately needed capital funds. It is more important than ever that the MTA be on solid footing for its rebuilding and modernization needs, given the hit it will be taking to its operating budget. Strong public transit is also essential to the nation's efforts to address climate change, and we cannot afford to see it decline when we must be encouraging mass transit ridership. The nation's largest public transit system must be protected and should be treated with utmost urgency. 3 https://www.cityandstateny.com/articles/politics/new-york-city/scott-stringers-roadmap-balanced-budget.html 4 https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-coronavirus-mta-federal-relief-covid-19-transit-20200510- aajmqv3dnjh63oqqou4jawgsfi-story.html ALBANY OFFICE: Room 557, Legislative Office Building, Albany, New York 12248 • 518-455-5377, FAX: 518-455-5592 DISTRICT OFFICE: 416 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11215 • 718-788-7221, FAX: 718-965-9378 EMAIL: [email protected] Thank you for your leadership during this crisis.

We support immediate passage of H.R. 367, with the addition of USPHS and NOAA. Though continued funding for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force is provisioned through the U.S. Department of Defense, members of the above three federal uniformed services critical to defending our city and port remain unpaid, and their families are left to suffer the consequences in an unforgivingly expensive metropolitan area. While we oppose the shutdown generally, it is especially abhorrent that our city’s defenders have been forced to suffer. New York City last year was named a “Coast Guard City,” yet our Coasties are being asked to sacrifice greatly just to keep serving us.

By requiring those on student visas to depart the U.S. until in-person classes resume, ICE is placing an unjust burden on these students. As you know, the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced school systems across the country to implement remote learning so that students can continue their education without the risk of exposure. Although some states have made strides in overcoming the peak of the virus, precautions are still being taken to prevent a second wave. This includes universities that have opted to maintain remote learning for the upcoming fall semester. Accessing online courses requires a consistent WiFi connection so that students can complete their coursework and partake in instruction outside of the virtual classroom.

    Committee on Banks 2019 ANNUAL REPORT New York State Assembly Carl E. Heastie, Speaker Kenneth P. Zebrowski, Chair December 15, 2019 The Honorable Carl E. Heastie Speaker of the Assembly State Capitol, Room 349 Albany, NY 12248 Dear Speaker Heastie: I am pleased to submit the 2019 Annual Report for the Assembly Standing Committee on Banks. Included herein are details of the Committee’s 2019 legislative work, other initiatives undertaken during the year, and important developments since the close of session. Additionally, you will find the Committee’s outlook for the 2020 legislative session where we will continue to protect consumers’ financial interests and rights while helping to improve and grow the banking industry across the State. The Banks Committee made significant progress during the 2019 session, reporting legislation that aimed to maintain and enhance the vitality of our State’s financial industry, expand the banking development district program, address the student loan debt crisis, increase access for consumers in under-banked communities, and maintain sound operations within the industry. The Committee’s significant accomplishments in 2019 include adding meaningful protections for student loan borrowers in the State budget as well as imposing important restrictions on bad actors in the student debt consulting industry; increasing disclosure to consumers on issues such as mortgage lending, allowing credit unions and savings banks to take municipal deposits; and, expanding the banking development district program to include credit unions. I want to thank my fellow members of the Assembly Banks Committee for all the time and work they have put in to serving the interests of the residents of our State.

Clifford Michel, Christine Chung Photo: Ben Fractenberg/THE CITY Sign up for “THE CITY Scoop,” our daily newsletter where we send you stories like this first thing in the morning. New York City’s two newest Democratic members of Congress are returning from Washington for town halls this week as calls for an impeachment inquiry mount — but their homecoming receptions are bound to differ. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has long demanded President Donald Trump’s impeachment, will host a Thursday town hall in Queens to discuss her new legislative package addressing income inequality and poverty. Meanwhile, Rep. Max Rose, the city’s lone impeachment holdout, has a transit-themed town hall scheduled in Staten Island on Wednesday, where activists are saying they’ll ask about impeachment. “Nothing will distract me from fighting to improve the lives of my constituents,” Rose told THE CITY in a statement Monday. “The focus of the upcoming town halls will be on transit and our commuting nightmares — but I most certainly welcome any questions.” Ocasio-Cortez, whose spokesperson declined comment, has drawn attention to Democrats, such as Rose, who’ve refused to back the impeachment inquiry. The first-term reps’ diverging positions reflect the different stakes they face at the ballot box next year, political observers say. Rose’s 2018 win — a moderate Democrat taking back a district won by Trump — was emblematic of the so- called Blue Wave that regained the party the House of Representatives.
