COMMITTEE to SAVE NY
The 1% COMMITTEE to SAVE NY How a Small Group of Big Business Interests and Billionaires are Hijacking New York State’s Public Policy Agenda on Behalf of the One Percent June 2012 The Public Accountability Initiative is a non-profit, 501(c)3 research and educational organization focused on corporate and government accountability. Kevin Connor, the lead author of this report, can be reached at [email protected]. Table of Contents Executive Summary 1 Who Rules the Committee? 4 Speculation and Bailouts 15 Policy Payoffs 18 Appendix 29 Executive Summary The Committee to Save New York established itself as one of the state’s most powerful lobbying forces in 2011, spending $12 million on a public relations campaign pushing budget cuts and other policy proposals closely aligned with Governor Andrew Cuomo’s agenda – the fifth most costly one-year lobbying effort ever conducted by a single organization in Albany.1 The Committee once again embarked on a massive political spending spree in 2012. Despite its power, much remains unknown about the Committee, which declines to disclose its donor list. Recent press reports have identified several donors, including casino gambling interests. These reports have suggested that the organization acted as a front group for these interests as they pushed to legalize casino gambling in New York State. But much of the money behind the Committee remains in the shadows. This report takes a closer look at the powerful forces behind the Committee and their playbook for “saving” New York. The Committee’s backers are primarily big business interests, billionaires, and other leading lights of New York State’s “one percent.” They played a key role in crashing New York’s economy through their own style of gambling, won billions in government bailouts, but now insist on “fiscal responsibility” for the rest of the state. -
11. Choosing to Participate
11. Choosing to Participate Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. ROBERT F. KENNEDY OVERVIEW The history of the Weimar Republic provides valuable insights Choosing to Participate, into how and why democracies fail. Chapter 11 looks at what is published by Facing needed for democracy to succeed. Over 140 years ago, History and Ourselves, Abraham Lincoln found one answer in these words: “We hold elaborates on many of these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; the themes developed in this chapter. Some that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable teachers use the book rights; that among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit as the basis for a of happiness.” He believed that a society based on those truths citizenship course that should be the goal of every citizen. It was, in his view, a goal stresses community that ought to be “constantly looked to, constantly labored for, involvement and even though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, volunteerism. and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere.” In reflecting on efforts to build democracies in Eastern Europe after the fall of Communism, Czech President Vaclav Havel reached a similar conclusion. He stressed the need for a “civil society” – one that promotes “a climate that would encourage people to act as citizens in the best sense of the word.” Without that climate, democracy cannot survive. -

Working Together for Peace and Justice in the 21St Century
KEYNOTE SPEECH TRANSCRIPTS The 1999 Bureau of Justice Assistance National Partnership Meeting Keynote Address—Henry Gardner Managing Partner, Gardner, Underwood, and Bacon About 17 years ago, shortly after I was appointed City Manager of Oakland I was asked if I would provide welcoming remarks for a very large convention. I readily consented. The person presiding was introducing me and during the introduction I became concerned because the introduction was longer than the comments that I had planned to make. And just as that thought occurred to me, the person said I’m very pleased to introduce to you this morning our keynote speaker. I went to the podium and whispered to him that I was not the keynote speaker, that my role was simply to bring greetings. He said, did you not receive our call, he said, our keynote speaker had to cancel and we asked if you would be the keynote speaker. Whereupon I took a deep breath and spoke for 30 minutes. Now I was given more notice than that for this morning but not much. I understand that the designated keynote speaker is a very prominent person here in Washington and one who I’m sure you would have been very pleased to hear from. And so it is your misfortune that I have been designated to speak instead. I thought long about what I would talk about and I had conversations and voice-mail message exchanges with Patrick Coleman. And I looked at the program and I thought what I can I talk about that others are not going to talk about. -
