  • EPL/Environmental Advocates
    THE NATION NEEDS NEW YORK Each January, the state Legislature gathers for a six-month session to grapple with the pressing issues of the day and to advance public policy that will make our state a better place in which we live, work, and play. Over the years, New York has set the tone for enacting bold laws to protect the environment, to cut pollution, and to improve the health of our communities and people. In the late 1800s we enacted the forever-wild provision of the state Constitution; in the 1980s we adopted the nation’s first acid rain law and the bottle bill; and, we have the most comprehensive environmental quality review act in the nation. It is truly breathtaking what can be achieved when the Legislature focuses and commits to protecting the environment. The 1993 session is a prime example of what is possible – in that year, agreements were forged to enact the Long Island Pine Barrens Protection Act, the Environmental Protection Fund, and the Clean Air Compliance Act! We chose an image for this year’s cover that depicts all that is at-risk if our leaders fail. For sure we have made enormous progress that we don’t want to lose. But, community character continues to be challenged by overdevelopment, we struggle to provide safe water for drinking, and we have too many people exposed to air pollution that can make them sick. As we bear witness to what is shaping up as the most anti-environment federal government (Congress and the Administration sharing this equally), the question for all New Yorkers is: are our leaders ready to embrace the challenge and demonstrate to the nation how strong environmental laws and standards lead to the progress and prosperity we all need? 2 EPL/Environmental Advocates is one of the first TABLE OF organizations in the nation formed to advocate for the future of a state’s environment and the health of its citizens.

  • Letter to the Public Service Commission Chair
    November 19, 2019 Hon. John Rhodes Chair New York State Public Service Commission 3 Empire State Plaza - 20th Floor Albany, NY 12223 Re: Rate case nos. 19-G-0309 and 19-G-0310, Keyspan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid and the Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a/ National Grid NY Dear Chairman Rhodes: We are writing to you today to urge the New York State Public Service Commission to decline National demanded rate increases. Moreover, we request that the Commission initiate a penalty proceeding for National to the lives of both individuals and businesses, and a separate prudence proceeding into the failure to invest in necessary measures to avoid this moratorium in Kings, Nassau, Queens, and Suffolk Counties. I. The Rate Cases As we are sure you know, Long Island and New York City have some of the highest electric rates in the United States. In addition, the cost of living in the five counties served by National Grid is among the highest in New York State. This results in extreme, unequal financial pressures on low- and moderate-income homeowners and apartment dwellers. Simultaneously, despite natural gas prices continually dropping over the past 10 years, National Grid has increased their gas prices. National Grid has stated that this is for investment in infrastructure, but as we can see from the moratorium, not much of that extra money made it there. the counties in New York City, and approximately a 7% increase for the Long Island counties. The Companies also proposed $1.5 billion in infrastructure investments purportedly aimed at enabling them to provide safe, reliable, and affordable service.

  • 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
    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.

HOMELAND SECURITY & KAMINSKY@NYSENATE GOV SENATOR TODD KAMINSKY MILITARY AFFAIRS 9TH SENATE DISTRICT Dear Colleague, Please join me in working toward immediately decoupling state aid from teacher evaluations before the end of this yea?s legislative session. With only five days left, the time to work together and act is now. Action is needed to protect crucial state funding for schools from each of the districts that we represent. Linking essential school funding with the implementation of a teacher evaluation system which has been universally discredited and rushed makes little sense. Moreover, evidence demonstrates that many schools are having difficulty meeting the Albany-mandated criteria, raising deep concerns that the impending deadline will negatively impact public students. So far, only 121 out of the over 700 school districts in the state have submitted evaluation plans. Our children’s education is too important for partisan politics. That is why I urge you to join me in doing the right thing for our children, families and schools by signing on to my letter urging Majority Leader Flanagan to bring Senate Bill S.7632 to the floor for a vote. By putting partisanship aside and working together we can ensure all of New York’s public school districts receive the state funds they were promised.

  • New York Legislators Call on Cuny Administration to Stop Cuts and Layoffs
    NEW YORK LEGISLATORS CALL ON CUNY ADMINISTRATION TO STOP CUTS AND LAYOFFS May 27, 2020 William C. Thompson, Jr. Chairperson, Board of Trustees The City University of New York Félix V. Matos Rodríguez Chancellor, The City University of New York 205 East 42nd Street New York, NY 10017 Dear Chairperson Thompson and Chancellor Matos Rodríguez: We write as elected officials of New York City and New York State who strongly support The City University of New York. We want to express our concern about plans announced by CUNY colleges to lay off hundreds of adjunct faculty by May 29 and cut course offerings for the fall by as much as 35 percent. New York will need CUNY more than ever as we seek to rebuild the economy. The communities that have borne the greatest loss of life and employment during the pandemic are exactly the communities whose members rely on CUNY and who will turn to CUNY to rebuild their lives. New Yorkers from all parts of the city and surrounding region will need CUNY as they seek to gain new skills and earn college degrees. Reduced course offerings, fewer faculty and over-sized classes will leave CUNY under-prepared to support the students whose need for support is greatest. A strong and fully staffed CUNY is a unique and essential resource for New York’s recovery. While we are painfully aware of the budgetary crisis facing the City and State, we believe that the CUNY administration should pursue every alternative before reducing course offerings and enacting mass layoffs. The CARES Act allocated more than $100 million to CUNY for institutional support during the crisis, with an explicit provision about keeping employees on payroll.
