Cuomo's Latest Do-Nothing Panel Chaired by Common Core Cheerleader
Fishkill, NY – (2/7/14) – Assemblyman Kieran Michael Lalor (R,C,I-Fishkill) released a statement today criticizing Governor Cuomo for naming an active Common Core supporter to chair the panel scheduled to review Common Core in New York. Governor Cuomo appointed IBM executive Stanley Litlow to chair his Common Core panel. Litow has been a supporter of Common Core, publishing an op-ed defending the program.
Lalor asked, "How can we have an honest and open examination of Common Core when the panel is chaired by a Common Core cheerleader? We've heard from parents and teachers across the state that Common Core isn't working. They expect Albany to find alternatives. That won't happen when the panel's chair is already biased in favor of Common Core."
"Mr. Litow is right that we need high standards in our schools," Lalor continued. "Where the standards are low today, we need to raise them. But, the case is being made that Common Core actually lowers standards. We're not going to be able to tweak Common Core and fix it. It's broken. We need to dump Common Core and start over on education reform. That's what parents and teachers are saying. But instead, it looks like Governor Cuomo's panel is set up to just rubber stamp Common Core, with a few tweaks here and there. That won't work."
"Governor Cuomo has a history of appointing do-nothing panels. From mandate relief to tax reform, he has used panels to dodge tough decisions. That won't work for our schools. The governor needs to appoint a balanced panel to review Common Core," Lalor concluded.
Litow's op-ed may be found here: http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20130825/OPINION/308259981/schools-must-stick-by-new-standards

SEN. LARKIN, BALL AND
MAZIARZ TO TOUR BIOMASS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY PLANT IN MONTGOMERY,
NY
Brewster, N.Y. – 02/08/2014 – Senator Bill Larkin
(R,C – Cornwall-on-Hudson) will host Senator Greg Ball (R, C, I – Patterson) and
Senator George Maziarz (R – Newfane), Chairman of the New York State Senate
Energy and Telecommunications Committee, for a tour of Taylor Biomass Energy
located in Montgomery, NY on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 10:30 AM.
The tour is a follow-up to the sustainable energy
community briefing that Senator Greg Ball hosted in December to examine biomass
energy and its prospects for creating good paying jobs throughout New York
State.
“Currently, we are paying folks to transport our
waste a great distance away. This process revolutionizes the entire waste
process by creating a real value around our refuse, literally turning our trash
into cash. We continue to utilize an outdated process to dispose of garbage and
waste that is harmful to the environment and not economically sound,” said
Senator Greg Ball. “In my eight years in public life, I have never stumbled upon
such an amazing opportunity to create jobs and clean up the environment,
contemporaneously. I have worked with my colleagues to organize this tour so we
can learn how this new innovative and environmentally friendly process can
benefit the State of New York with good paying jobs, by turning our waste into
energy, while protecting and preserving the environment. I would like to thank
Senator Larkin for having us in his district for this tour, as well as Chairman
Maziarz for making the trip to see this innovative technology.”
“In today’s ever-changing world, we see the
importance of innovation when it comes to solving our energy difficulties.
Taylor Biomass Energy is a great example of a “thinking outside the box”
approach to dealing with our growing waste problem. It is a highly efficient
system of producing much needed energy through a gasification process that
eliminates nearly 100% of our recycling waste. Taylor Biomass Energy is a
prototype that can and should be used across the country and I am proud that an
Orange County business is leading the way in sustainable energy practices,” said
Senator Bill Larkin (R-C, Cornwall-on-Hudson).
“Biomass generation supports more than 4,000 jobs
across the State of New York, and there is no better example of the positive
impact that this industry is having than Taylor Biomass Energy,” said Senator
George Maziarz (R-C), Chairman of the Senate Energy and Telecommunications
Committee. “Biomass fuel is plentiful in our State due to the large amount of
untapped agricultural and forest land where it can be collected, and it is also
environmentally friendly since it burns fuel that would already decay as part of
a natural carbon life-cycle. This form of generation is also a key component of
our State's energy mix, since it is both renewable and can run without
interruption an important difference between biomass and other forms of green
energy. I appreciate Senator Larkin inviting me to tour this facility and thank
Senator Ball for joining us and I can promise that the innovative techniques
being used at Taylor Biomass will help to inform our policy making decisions
moving forward.”
Although Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney cannot attend
the tour due to a legislative session conflict, he remains committed to working
together to make new and innovate energy sources like biomass a reality.
“It is my priority to team up with ventures like
Taylor Biomass and folks like Senator Greg Ball and Senator Bill Larkin to help
cut through government red tape and invest in innovative private-public
partnerships to make alternative energy sources like biomass a reality, creating
hundreds of jobs in the Hudson Valley and developing clean, renewable energy,”
said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18).
Biomass energy is an innovative and
environmentally friendly technology aimed at adding “recover” to the common
environmental lexicon of “reduce, re-use, recycle and recover the energy
content.” The biomass process involves a revolutionary change in the haul and
dump method. While many profess solutions to “going green” and being a piece of
our environmental and energy solution, biomass is a holistic approach that
limits our carbon footprint while efficiently creating, clean and sustainable
energy within the local area that the waste is generated.
Over the last two decades, Taylor Biomass Energy
has developed and refined its proprietary “Taylor Sorting and Separating
Process” technology, taking recycling to its best and highest use. Developing
new technology to convert biomass into energy for commercial use is the next
step in a long tradition of environmental stewardship and innovation. Waste is a
resource. We need to stop wasting our waste.
Biomass allows, post sorting, for nearly 97% of
our waste to be processed through a minor source air permit facility,
gasification process. Biomass effectively eliminates most of our waste while
creating affordable energy. One such biomass plant can be a sustainable energy
source for nearly 23,000 single family residential homes. For instance, the Town
of Montgomery including its three Villages of Montgomery, Walden, Maybrook has
approximately 5,900 single family residential homes.

Legislator
Jenkins Wants County Contracts to Put Local Businesses as a
Priority
White Plains,
NY – Westchester
County Legislator Jenkins (D-Yonkers) introduced legislation today at the
Westchester County Board of Legislators (BOL) that will establish a Westchester
First procurement policy that prioritizes awarding of County contracts and
services to local businesses employing county residents.
The Westchester
First legislation will put in place a policy that the County seeks those firms
that have a presence in the county for over one year and are utilizing more than
fifty residents when awarding contracts.
“It’s time for
the County to have a blanket policy about doing its business, whenever possible,
with local entities that have our residents on the payroll,” said Jenkins, the
past chairman of the BOL. “By keeping this sizable amount financial activity in
the county we’ll be doing more to help boost local economies and keep all our
Main Street shops open for business, thus strengthening our communities for the
challenges ahead.”
Jenkins added
that the impetus for introducing the legislation was to eliminate shell
companies from being created for the purpose of securing work that requires a
New York-based business or corporation. Recently, a $45 million County contract
was awarded without an RFP process, Jenkins said, to a New York corporation that
was established “in state” just two days before getting the
contract.
“It is wise to
remember that County contracts are being funded with taxpayer dollars,” said
Jenkins. “There is no reason why we cannot work to point these substantial
investments to businesses and residents in our
communities.”
The Westchester
First legislation that Jenkins introduced will extend to those companies
receiving tax incentives that modify Westchester County taxes, including tax
credits and PILOT programs. If necessary, a review process will establish when
exceptions to the policy can be granted.

MANHATTAN ... NYGOP Chair Ed Cox today released the following statement in response to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's State of the City address:
"Actions speak louder than words. Shame on Bill de Blasio for talking about equality of opportunity while overtly waging a War on Charter Schools, a proven means of closing the achievement gap.
"By actively obstructing the expansion of new charter schools, Bill de Blasio has singlehandedly created a new barrier to upward social mobility in New York City.
"De Blasio's surrender to teachers unions protects the status quo of special interests and undermines the American promise of equal opportunity for all."
Ed Cox is also a founder and former Chair of both SUNY's Charter School Committee and the Student Sponsor Partners (SSP) organization, which sponsors inner city high school students into parochial schools.
