The main body of the document is divided into sections that provide further explanation of the key issues presented in the executive summary as well as other relevant information.

Note: Significant effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this report. Before using this material, please be certain to understand the facts and nuances within the information presented and always double-check the facts to verify your claims. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Born and raised in New York, Kirsten Gillibrand earned an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth University, a Jurist Doctor from the University of Southern California in 1991 and served as a law clerk on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Following law school she joined the firm of Davis Polk & Wardell where she worked as an associate for 9 years. After a stint at the Department of Housing and Urban Development she joined the Boies, Schiller & Flexner as a partner in 2001. A product of a political family, Kirsten comes from a long line of major figures in Albany politics. Her grandmother Polly Noonan was the colorful and longtime companion of Albany's legendary mayor Erastus Corning, and a political force in her own right. Gillibrand's father, Douglas Rutnik, is a lawyer and powerful Democratic lobbyist. Her mother, Polly Rutnik is also a major figure in Albany politics. Gillibrand lives in Hudson, New York with her husband Jonathan and son Theodore. Due to her young age and the fact that she has no voting record on issues any attack on Gillibrand will likely focus on one of three things; her family and commitment to the region, her law firm work or something she or her campaign says or does in the course of the election. Kirsten's family could cause her some political headaches. While her relatives have endured individual problems outlined below, the most likely attack she will face is that she is a product of Albany's political machine. The more voters learn about Kirsten family, the more they may not believe that she is a true political outsider, as she claims. And despite her family’s long ties to the region, Kirsten has spent most of her life living in New York City and Westchester County and only moved into the district two years ago – one can assume in preparation for a run to Congress. "When has she ever been interested in our issues?" voters will be coaxed to ask Gillibrand's law firm work is the richest vein of attacks. The two firms she is associated with, Boies, Schiller & Flexner, and Davis, Polk & Wardell have represented a number of clients that represent political liabilities. While Kirsten’s name does not appear on many dockets, her law firm's client rosters include big tobacco, oil companies, and a number of white-collar criminals. With no legislative record for her opponents to criticize, Kirsten's work, and the work of the firms that have employed her, will be scrutinized for contradictions. When she discusses environmental stewardship, they will bring up her firm's work for some of the worst environmental offenders such as Exxon Mobil and DuPont. When she talks about health care and wellness, they will point to her firm's work for large pharmaceutical and tobacco companies, Philip Morris and RJ Reynolds. Should she discuss retirement security or corporate responsibility, they will bring up the work her firm did for notorious white-collar criminals such as executives of Tyco and Adelphia Communications. 4 BIOGRAPHY AND TIMELINE 12/9/1966: Kirsten Elizabeth Rutnik Born 9/1984: Enrolled in Dartmouth University 6/1986-8/1986: Attended Beijing Normal University, China 9/1986-12/1986: Attended Tunghai University through University of Massachusetts, Taiwan China 8/1988: Enrolled in University of California, Los Angeles 5/1989-8/1989: Shea and Gold, Summer Associate, New York, NY 5/1990-7/1990: Davis, Polk & Wardell, Summer Associate, New York, NY 7/1990-8/1990: Interned for US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of NY, New York, NY 9/1990-12/1990: United Nations Crime Prevention (Intern), Vienna, Austria 5/1991: Graduated from UCLA with a J.D. 9/1991: Associate, Davis, Polk & Wardell, New York, NY 11/8/1991: Notified of passing the Bar which was taken on July 30-31, 1992 1/22/1992: Admitted to State of New York, Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Clerked for Judge Miner 9/10/1993: Admitted to the Bar of the District of Columbia, Court of Appeals 10/4/1993: Admitted as Member of District of Columbia Bar 12/13/1993: Admitted to Southern District Court of New York State 12/13/1993: Admitted to Eastern District Court of New York State 5 4/2000: Worked At HUD 4/7/2001: Married Jonathan Gillibrand 6/2001: Partner, Boise Schiller 10/17/2002: Admitted to Colorado District Court 11/12/2003: Son Theodore Gillibrand Born 6 KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND’S CLIENTS The following is a top line review of clients Kirsten represented while at Boies, Schiller & Flexner. A review of records between 2001 and 2005 indicates that Kirsten’s name is only associated with one client– Qwest Communications. However, per conversations with Kirsten and as indicated on her personal financial disclosure form, I’ve investigated work that Boies, Schiller & Flexner may have done for other clients on the list. In cases where Boies, Schiller & Flexner was mentioned, I’ve noted it. In cases where Boies, Schiller & Flexner wasn’t mentioned I’ve noted legal problems those clients were having at the time – please review with the understanding that Kirsten’s firm may not have worked on those specific cases. GILLIBRAND REPRESENTED COMPANY FACING ALLEGATIONS OF FAULTY ACCOUNTING Qwest Hired Boies Schiller To Investigate Possible Accounting Errors Surrounding Sale Of Fiber- Optic Capacity Swaps. Qwest's board hired Boies, Schiller & Flexner to launch an investigation into Qwest's past accounting. The firms investigation found that potential problems were "not quantitatively or qualitatively material" to Qwest's financial statements and that no changes needed to be made to its previously reported results. [USA Today, 8/18/03] Boies Schiller Found Problems In Just 8% Of The Sales, Found Accounting Deals Sound. Qwest Communications hired Boies, Schiller & Flexner to investigate its controversial fiber-optic capacity sales. Qwest and Boies Schiller determined that just 8 percent of the deals had problems and according to sources familiar with the investigation, Boies, Schiller & Flexner initially found the accounting deals sound. [Denver Post, 9/27/02; Denver Post, 10/4/02] Law Firm Was Advising Qwest When Company Told Board That Internal Probe Found No Problems. Boies, Schiller & Flexner advised Qwest at pivotal meetings when the company's board was told that the internal probe found no problems. [Knight-Ridder, 1/23/03] Six Months After Probe, Company Decided To Reinstate Over $1 Billion In Revenue. Six months after the probe finished, the company fired its chief executive officer and decided to restate more than $1 billion in revenue connected to the deals that it once decided were appropriate. At a congressional hearing, chief financial officer Oren Shaffer said that after reviewing the same deals, he found he could not justify Qwest’s earlier accounting treatment. Qwest announced it will erase or shuffle $ 2.2 billion in revenue from its books for 2000 and 2001 due to improper accounting. Of that figure, $ 1.5 billion came from swaps or sales of fiber-optic strands. [Denver Post, 10/4/02; Denver Post, 3/11/03] DOJ And SEC Investigated Deals. The Department of Justice and the Securities Exchange Commission began to investigate Qwest, each probing whether Qwest improperly recorded revenues from the fiber-optic deals as immediate gains, even though most of the transactions involved long- term leases. [Denver Post, 10/4/02] Report Commissioned By Company Who Swapped Assets With Qwest Detailed Faulty Accounting. An investigative report by bankrupt Global Crossing who swapped assets with Qwest, detailed three deals in which the company might have skirted accounting rules. The deals, in which Global Crossing and Qwest swapped assets, included unwritten or otherwise secret agreements that allowed Global Crossing to 7 exchange the assets it bought from Qwest for others at a later time. Such 'side letters,' had they been known to Qwest's auditors and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, would have invalidated Qwest's method of accounting for the deals, said a former SEC investigator. [Denver Post, 3/11/03] Boies Schiller Said Accounting Associated With Enron Deal Showed No Problems, Proved Inaccurate. Boies Schiller told Qwest that a controversial 2001 network deal with Enron showed no problems based on a preliminary review, said lawyers familiar with the matter and an auditor's meeting notes.

    Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve UC0055 1 of 1 Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve 1966-1976 UC0055 QUANTITY: 2 boxes ACCESS: Open to research ACQUISITION: PROCESSED BY: Margie Amodeo Biographical Note: The Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve formed in January 1966 as a coalition to be prepared challenges to Article XIV at the New York State Constitutional Convention. It was designed to serve as a liaison at the time of the Convention and in May 1968 elected to continue serving to alert organizations state-wide to a variety of concerns that related to the problems of the Forest Preserve. When the coalition was founded, officers from over fifty organizations joined along with the individual memberships were issued. Proposed changes to the constitution were bundled and voted on as a whole and rejected by every New York county. The CCFP continued to function as a group seeking to maintain Forest Preserve protection within the state constitution. As of January 1971, the Council consisted of 138 members. The officers included David Newhouse (who would also become an advisor to the TSCFA), David Sive, Arthur M. Crocker, R. Watson Pomeroy and William K. Verner. The consortium was dissolved in 1976 because as David Newhouse, CCFP Chairman, writes, “its function is now fulfilled by other organizations such as EPL and The Adirondack Council.” Any remaining funds were transferred to the Adirondack Council. Scope and Content Note: This Collection includes evidence of not only the internal discussion informing the opinions and decisions of this group of environmentalist leaders but letters and statements from members to political leaders.

  • Then & Now: Albany, the South Mall and a Neighborhood Lost
    Then & Now: Albany, the South Mall and a Neighborhood Lost City Engineer, Public Works Negatives, 1930-1949. From the Archival Collection of the Albany County Hall of Records. The Princess and “The Gut” 89-01830. Private Donor. Netherlands Royal Family Visit to Albany Photo Collection. Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Mayor Erastus Corning, September, 1959. “The South Mall will be the greatest single governmental office complex history has ever known.” – Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd In September of 1959, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands came to Albany, New York to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s exploratory voyage on the Hudson River at the Hudson-Champlain Celebration. While giving the young royal a tour of downtown Albany, Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller felt embarrassed by the deteriorating South End neighborhood referred to by some as “The Gut,” an area of many dilapidated buildings and vacant structures. Albany Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd told the Knickerbocker News in 1979 that: “Rockefeller thought [the] buildings the Princess and those with her saw were not as good-looking or appropriate for a capital city as he thought they should be.” In an attempt to revitalize Albany and transform it into a city outsiders would deem worthy of being New York’s capital, Rockefeller proposed the construction of a large, modern governmental complex. In order to create this lavish site he envisioned, Rockefeller seized 98.5 acres of land in Albany’s South End through eminent domain in 1962 and demolition soon began. As a result, thousands of families and business owners lost their properties and were forced to relocate.

  • Morris Gerber Collection—Supplemental
    Albany Institute of History & Art Library MORRIS GERBER PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTION 1860-1970s bulk, 1910-1960 23 lin. ft., 47 boxes Series I. Street Views Series II. Subjects Series III. Photo Acquisition of 1983 2002 Biographical Note Morris Gerber was a typesetter at the Albany, NY newspaper, the Times-Union. The collection was assembled by Morris Gerber from the archives of Stephen Schreiber and William Klein, both Albany photographers; discards from the Albany NY newspaper Knickerbocker News morgue and purchases. Photographers in the collection include: Stephen Schreiber; William Klein; Fellowcrafts Studio; Joseph H. Winchell III; Ed Driscoll; Robert Wilder; Roberta Smith; Joe Higgins; Bernie Kolenberg; Ray Joy; Morris Gerber. Scope and Content Note The Morris Gerber Photograph Collection represents a significant documentation of the architectural, social, cultural and economic development of Albany's history from the 1860's into the 1970's, although the bulk of the collection covers the 1910's through the 1950's. Views include building interiors and exteriors, action photos (such as fires, floods, parades, and building construction), urban and suburban residences and businesses. The collection provides researchers with photographic documentation of a wide variety of public and private spheres of human activity in Albany ranging from city sponsored parades to life in a suburban home. Concentrated mostly in the second quarter of the 20th century, the images depict the growth of some of the more "suburban" neighborhoods in Albany (such as Pine Hills) and the flourishing and decline of certain types of businesses. The Morris Gerber Photograph Collection provides a valuable record of streetscapes and facades that have been altered or have vanished over the years.

Hamm & Professor Mitch Aso May 10, 2019 2 Abstract Public and private schools throughout American history have been segregated due to policies crafted and implemented by local school boards. The Supreme Court decision in the Brown v. Board of Education case said segregated public schools were inherently flawed and that the idea of separate-but-equal had no place in public education. But how were school boards to integrate the schools? Cities such as Albany had neighborhoods that had a majority black proportion, meaning that the schools within these neighborhoods were going to be segregated.
