We understand that throughout the COVID-19 crisis, the situation has continuously evolved, but, as the epicenter of one of the largest outbreaks in the U.S., we should be planning ahead to ensure there is statewide coordination in planning for school reopening this fall. As you all know, schools provide much more than just academic instruction services; they are community hubs, and provide social services, food services, health services, childcare services, and specialized services for children with developmental needs. Over the course of the pandemic, our children have missed out on opportunities that schools provide for them and learning remotely full-time has left many children behind. Without the full scope of school resources, the burden has fallen on parents and guardians who are already struggling to balance budgets and manage their time throughout the duration of this crisis. We must work together on their behalf to ensure that come fall, we have a safe and proper learning environment for students statewide, especially those with intellectual and developmental disabilities who rely heavily on in-person instruction.

  • April 30, 2020 the Honorable Donald J. Trump
    April 30, 2020 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 The Honorable Charles Schumer Senate Minority Leader Hart Senate Office Building, 322 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Mr. President, Minority Leader Schumer & Congressional Leaders: As a fifth stimulus package is being negotiated in Washington, we hope that it includes aid to local governments, especially in states being hit the hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. We write to urge you to direct some of that aid to volunteer fire departments and volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) that are on the front lines of this epidemic and are facing economic devastation as a result. New York State is protected daily by 110,000 volunteer firefighters in nearly 900 fire districts. According to the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY), the services provided by volunteer fire departments save New York taxpayers more than $3 billion per year. New York State has been the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak for months, with more than 290,000 positive cases. COVID-19 is taking its toll on our communities both personally and financially. We simply cannot afford to lose our volunteer fire departments and volunteer EMS as a result. We respectfully request that you consider these recommendations to provide direct assistance to volunteer fire departments and volunteer EMS to help them survive this pandemic: Ensure federal reimbursement to volunteer fire departments and volunteer EMS for personal protective equipment (PPE), such as face shields, gloves, gowns, goggles and glasses, head covers, masks, respirators, and shoe covers in conformance with FDA requirements.

  • 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.

We are in desperate need of your position and influence to drive some changes home. In your first year as Govemor, you have made significant imoads into some long-standing sacred cows; I implore you, on behalf of the children to address another sacred cow ... that being funding for public education. Since the 2008-2009 school year the budget within my district has increased a total of $225,279, which translates into an average aruma! budget increase of0.4%. My Board of Education strives to provide the children of our community the best possible education and program opportunities the "community can afford." In the difficult fiscal times, the Board has done its best to hold the line on spending increases while being confronted with mandated increases in pension contributions, mandates in Special Education along with their associated costs that exceed those required under federal law, and increased costs in employee benefits.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: November 2, 2018 Karyn Burns-Gerling, MACNY (315) 474-4201 (Office) (315) 317-3402 (Cell) [email protected] MIPAC Announces 2018 Senate and Assembly Legislative Endorsements Statewide Manufacturing Association’s Political Action Committee Releases Endorsement of Pro-Business Candidates MIPAC, The Manufacturing & Industry Political Action Committee and the political action committee arm of MACNY, The Manufacturers Association and The Manufacturers Alliance of New York State today announced their 2018 candidate endorsements. This year, MIPAC looked to endorse pro-manufacturing and reform-minded candidates from all areas throughout New York State, focusing their attention on key issues, including corporate tax reductions for pass through manufacturers, strengthening the State’s workforce development platform, workers compensation issues, and the increasing regulatory burdens in New York State. This year, MIPAC recognized its growing statewide presence, and is actively participating in races from across the State. MIPAC member Nathan Andrews stated, "This year we were pleased to review responses and voting records from a number of statewide candidates. We looked for those who would best represent issues important to the state's manufacturers. We have always maintained and understood that we will not always agree with our representatives on every issue. What is most critical is that issues important to manufacturers are heard and understood, that the lines of communication always remain open, and that good policy and open government remain priorities first and foremost to those candidates we support.” Andrews continued, “Our sector has a number of policy driven concerns, to include costly and burdensome areas such as Paid Family Leave and the Bereavement Bill.

  • June 4, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New
    June 4, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York New York State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: We write today in support of allowing schools in New York State to host graduation ceremonies for this year’s graduates, provided that safety precautions are implemented. This pandemic has understandably upended the lives of all New Yorkers. Millions have changed their behaviors and made great sacrifices to help bend the curve of the virus. These decisions were not made lightly, and the health and safety of our citizens is of paramount importance. The members of the Assembly Minority Conference are particularly concerned about the negative effects the closure of schools and the cancelation of graduation ceremonies will have on our students in the future. We must consider that students have been isolated at home for almost three months due to the pandemic. Graduation ceremonies to celebrate educational accomplishments are an important rite of passage and represent a lifetime milestone. But they could also be an excellent way to finally transition our state out of this lockdown. For many young people who do not plan to attend college, this will be the only opportunity to participate in a graduation ceremony. Many will be entering the workforce, going into a trade, or enlisting in the military. Allowing graduation ceremonies to proceed would offer a sense of closure for students who so abruptly left school and had their educational experiences turned upside down. This is often the last time these young people will see each other as they move onto different paths in life.

Rhodes Chair, New York State Public Service Commission 3 Empire State Plaza Albany, NY 12223 Dear Governor Cuomo, Legislative Leaders & Chairman Rhodes: As State officials, the past few months have been some of the most challenging we have ever faced. The COVID-19 pandemic has created unforeseen obstacles and exposed weaknesses in our State’s infrastructure. One weakness brought to light is that New York’s current broadband infrastructure in many areas cannot meet the demands of millions of New Yorkers working and learning from home every day during this pandemic. Despite efforts to expand broadband services, New York still has many underserved areas. Members of the Assembly Republican Conference are very thankful that private companies have stepped up and provided free broadband services where possible. Now it is the State government’s turn to step up and take the steps necessary to ensure that broadband services are made available to all New Yorkers in every region of the State, both urban and rural. Our recommendations to expand broadband access to underserved communities are to: Ensure critical infrastructure workers providing access to broadband are considered essential as the State opens up regionally.

  • REGULAR MEETING Morning Session Monday, January 24, 2011 Legislative Chambers, Bath, New York
    REGULAR MEETING Morning Session Monday, January 24, 2011 Legislative Chambers, Bath, New York The County Legislature of the County of Steuben convened in Regular Session in the Legislative Chambers, Bath, NY on Monday, the 24th day of January, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. and was called to order by the Chairman of the Legislature, Joseph J. Hauryski. Roll Call and all members present except for Legislator Nichols (arrived at 10:10 a.m.) and Legislator Swackhamer. Mr. Creath provided the Invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Mr. Walsh. Chairman Hauryski asked Theresa Bridge to come forward. Ms. Bridge is an employee in the Department of Social Services. He presented her with a Certificate of Appreciation and a pin in recognition of her 25 years of service to Steuben County. Chairman Hauryski asked Terrie Dunn to come forward. Ms. Dunn was an employee in the Information Technology/Telephonic Communications Department. He presented her with a Certificate of Appreciation and a watch in recognition of her retirement following 23 years of service to Steuben County. Chairman Hauryski opened the floor for comments by members of the public. Jack Zigenfus, Supervisor, Town of Cohocton, stated that he is here regarding how the Town and County tax bill is set up. There is a lack of clarity with regard to chargebacks and special taxes. Even though the Town of Cohocton did not increase taxes, on the Town and County tax bill it looks like we raised our levy 4.5 percent. He respectfully asked that the Legislature or the proper committee look at what changes could be made to the Town and County tax bill in order for people to understand it better.

  • August 27, 2020 the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor Of
    August 27, 2020 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor of New York State NYS State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo, We write to you on behalf of our local school superintendents, teachers, and parents from the Southern Tier, Finger Lakes, and Western regions. It has come to our attention that the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) issued new guidance regarding COVID-19 testing for schools. The announced guidance has caused a tremendous amount of uncertainty with our school administrators, county departments of health, and New York families. We urge you to immediately release updated guidance ensuring schools, families and their doctors are part of the decision as to when it is safe for a child to return to school. Previously, the guidelines stated that if a school staffer or student exhibited one of the many symptoms of the COVID-19 virus, they would need to meet one of the following criteria: • Be quarantined for a certain number of days and be symptom free upon return. • Receive approval from a primary care provider or school medical director after receiving an alternative diagnosis with similar symptoms such as ear infections, strep throat, seasonal allergies, or other related illnesses. • Receive a negative COVID-19 test. The latest NYS DOH now implies staff and students must hit all three criteria, meaning all staff or students must receive a negative COVID-19 test in order to return to school after displaying symptoms. This will cause a tremendous amount of problems for school officials, county administrators, parents, and students. First, requiring this level of testing will dramatically curtail available testing capacity.
