In Response to the Confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, a Coalition of Elected Officials in New York City Released the Following Statement
In response to the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, a coalition of elected officials in New York City released the following statement: “Ostensibly, the role of the Supreme Court is not to make policy, or to implement a political agenda. It’s to determine whether or not the policies and the political agendas enacted by other branches of government are consistent with the Constitution and the laws of the United States. But this narrative simply isn’t true. The Supreme Court has always been a political institution. The Republican Party recognizes this reality and uses aggressive tactics to stack the courts with right-wing ideologues, cultivated in their own parallel legal ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has fought to preserve the myth of our apolitical judiciary, unilaterally disarming in the battles that decide which judges are confirmed to the federal bench. This asymmetry is exacerbated by our dysfunctional electoral system. Hundreds of federal judges - including a majority on the Supreme Court - have now been appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote. The result has been catastrophic. A right-wing supermajority now sits on the Supreme Court. The federal judiciary is teeming with hundreds of conservative fanatics appointed by Donald Trump. They are poised to destroy what little remains of abortion access, labor rights, civil rights protections, and social insurance. Not only do these extremist judges threaten more than a century of progressive achievements, they threaten to foreclose the possibility of any future progress under a Democratic administration. Already, the Roberts court has gutted the most progressive elements of the Affordable Care Act, denying Medicaid coverage to millions of poor Americans. -

St. John’s Law School Biography Anthony Palumbo has dedicated his career to protecting Long Island families. As a Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney, he prosecuted major crimes and drug traffickers. He has taken that background to Albany and as an Assemblyman, he’s fought to keep our communities safe, hold officials accountable and enhance the quality of life that makes Suffolk County special. Since his election to the Assembly in 2013, Anthony has shown the drive and vision families on Long Island need and deserve in state government. His very first piece of legislation was a massive tax-cut bill that would save the average Suffolk County resident over $2,500 annually. That same year he accomplished a rare feat for a freshman GOP Assemblyman by sponsoring and passing a law that helped first-time homebuyers and younger residents save thousands and made the dream of homeownership on Long Island more affordable. -

Child Care Legislative Priorities 2021
The Cost of Educating and Caring for the Whole Child 2021 For too long our state has used children and their needs on the back burner, not prioritizing any meaningful or adequate investment in their care and education. The COVID-19 pandemic illuminated all the inequities and disparities that Black, Brown, immigrant, and low income children and students face. The pandemic did not create these inequities and disparities, but it did exacerbate them. The path to recovery and to just schools must be ladened with investment in strategies that work. Below are the priorities we are urging the legislature to take up this year. Education Funding Increase for 2021 Budget $5.8 Billion $4 Billion to Fully fund Foundation Aid owed to school districts $1.1 Billion Repay the Pandemic Adjustment cut of 2020 $400 Million to reimburse expense base aids (Including pandemic related transportation cost) $225 Million for COVID-19 Expenses Fully Fund Universal Pre-K for all 3-4 year-olds $770 Million increase + $5 million for Technical Assistance Centers, invest in ensuring that all children that need it have access to preschool special education programs and services. Adult Literacy Investment Restore FY20’s $1.5 million enhancement to Adult Literacy Education (ALE) Invest an additional $17.2m in ALE for a total of $25m in FY21. Child Care Investment Invest $485 million in child care in 2021-22, so New York State can extend child care subsidies to an estimated 30,000 additional children each month, lower the cost of care among families receiving support, and boost child care worker wages to a level more commensurate with their importance to New York’s children, families, and communities. -
Elected Officials Against Fracking 4.13.21 Formatted Letter
April 13, 2021 President Joe Biden 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington DC 20501 Speaker Nancy Pelosi United States House of Representatives Washington DC 20515 Majority Leader Charles Schumer United States Senate Washington DC 20510 Dear President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Schumer, Members of the U.S. House and Senate: We, the undersigned elected officials from across the United States, are concerned about the devastating impacts of fracking and fracking infrastructure on our communities, public health, and the global climate. We urge the President and Members of Congress to take the following actions: ● Stop new permits for fracking on federal lands, as well as federal permits for fracking or fracking infrastructure to extract, refine, transport, or burn natural gas or oil. ● End federal subsidies for the fracking industry and other fossil fuel companies. ● Revoke permits for current oil & gas wells within 2,500 ft of homes, schools, or other inhabited structures. ● Work with Indigenous Peoples, workers, unions, and frontline community organizations to immediately invest in a just transition and comprehensive economic transition plan for communities and workers impacted by the fracking industry. ● Ban the practice of fracking nationwide, effective no later than 2025.
