16 It is a great privilege and honor to

4842
1 {In Malayalam.}
2 Eternal and great God, with hearts
3 of gratitude we embrace You this day for the
4 beauty of the earth and all creation, for people
5 of all lands and cultures, for this country and
6 the State of New York.
7 As we honor and celebrate Malayali
8 heritage, we commit the people from Kerala,
9 India, who live and work in this land, into Your
10 gracious hands. We thank You for the rich
11 cultural diversity in our community, and pray
12 that harmony continues to exist and flourish.
13 O Lord, we thank You for the many
14 gifts and blessings You have bestowed upon us:
15 The gift of life, the gift of family and friends,
16 and the gift of the sacred opportunity to serve
17 You.
18 Open our hearts, O Lord, to discern
19 Your will and to be receptive to Your guidance.
20 Open our eyes to see the needs of those around
21 us, and grant us wisdom to act with great
22 compassion and care. We pray that both
23 individually and corporately we will strive to
24 live honorably, in unity, love and peace.
25 You are the wisdom from on high.
4843
1 Grant now Your wisdom to our leaders, our
2 Senators and those in authority, that they may
3 govern righteously, that our land might prosper,
4 that our people might be safe.
5 Give our leaders discerning hearts
6 as they seek to uphold the dignity of all
7 humanity. Protect our leaders, instruct them in
8 their service, and enable them to make wise
9 decisions for the good of Your people and for the
10 glory of God.
11 Forgive our shortcomings and
12 continue to heal our world. We give thanks to
13 You, O Lord, for You are good. Your mercy
14 endures forever. In Your holy name we humbly
15 pray.
16 Amen.

13 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: The
14 Secretary will read.
15 THE SECRETARY: Resolution 1623, by
16 Senator Thomas, memorializing Governor Kathy
17 Hochul to proclaim May 2024 as Malayalee Heritage
18 Month in the State of New York.
19 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
20 Thomas on the resolution.
21 SENATOR THOMAS: Thank you,
22 Madam President.
23 {In Malayalam} I am so happy and
24 proud to stand here one last time to introduce a
25 resolution honoring Malayali heritage here in
4856
1 this great State of New York.
2 I am proud to be the first and only
3 Malayali in the New York State Legislature. So
4 when I first got here, I knew that recognizing my
5 Malayali heritage here in New York State would be
6 an opportunity to lift my community and highlight
7 our rich heritage. And I'm very proud and
8 grateful that we kept up this tradition in this
9 amazing chamber for the past six years.
10 My roots lie in the beautiful state
11 of Kerala, in southern India. Known for its
12 scenic landscapes and warm-hearted people, this
13 is a land where elephants march across towns and
14 rivers surge with massive 100-feet-long
15 snake boats during festival season.
16 Our festivals celebrate the
17 traditions passed down by our ancestors. Be it
18 Onam, Eid or Christmas, all of Kerala rejoices
19 with one spirit, to bring the entire coastal
20 state to life. We are made up of a tapestry of
21 customs, traditions, art and cuisine that have
22 thrived for over a thousand years. The Arabs,
23 the Portuguese, and even the British had a lot of
24 influence over our language and our food because
25 of the trade routes. Some of you might even want
4857
1 to visit.
2 Here in New York we are a community
3 that values education, hard work, and service.
4 We are found in every sector. We are nurses, we
5 are doctors, we are lawyers, we are judges, we
6 are elected officials, businesspeople, teachers,
7 and even in the entertainment industry. We make
8 New York great.
9 So thank you to all who have made it
10 up today. I want to especially recognize
11 Ajit Abraham. I want to recognize Biju Chacko.
12 Clergy from various Mar Thoma Churches. Our
13 lovely bishop for doing that amazing job with the
14 opening prayer. Tennyson, who manages one of my
15 favorite Malayali restaurants here, Karavalli.
16 We have members of labor here -- Benson, who is
17 out there from 1199.
18 We have Dr. Aney Paul, from the
19 Rockland County Legislature; Leela Maret;
20 Sibi David; Sibu Nair; George David; and a
21 retiring diplomat from the Indian Consulate,
22 Vijayakrishnan.
23 We also have a number of
24 organizations being represented here: KCANA,
25 Kerala Samajam, FOKANA, World Malayali Council,
4858
1 and Indian Nurses Association.
2 There are many more from Long
3 Island, Queens, Westchester, Albany, all coming
4 together today. And together, we can and will
5 champion causes that matter to us, advocate for
6 equality, celebrate our diversity, and create a
7 better future for the generations to come.
8 So I hope you will join me in
9 celebrating my Malayali heritage today with all
10 of us. Thank you.
11 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
12 Mayer on the resolution.
13 SENATOR MAYER: Thank you,
14 Madam President.
15 It really is an honor to follow my
16 colleague Senator Thomas in this important
17 resolution. And I'm so proud to see so many of
18 my friends and my constituents and the entire
19 sort of Malayali community, leadership community
20 of Westchester and Rockland here today.
21 I so appreciate that Senator Thomas
22 has made it his prerogative to ensure that we
23 recognize, celebrate, and honor this incredible
24 culture, learnedness, food, and all of the
25 wonderful things that come from Kerala, which I
4859
1 have been blessed to learn about in my time
2 representing Yonkers and Westchester.
3 Thank you for giving me the
4 opportunity to celebrate together. Thank you for
5 being here as part of our wonderful democratic
6 tradition here. And let us celebrate together
7 Malayali culture, the contributions to our state,
8 and the remarkable part of our diverse community
9 that this community represents here today.
10 I proudly vote aye.
11 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
12 you, Senator.
13 Senator Liu on the resolution.
14 SENATOR LIU: Thank you,
15 Madam President.
16 I too join Senator Mayer and
17 Senator Thomas in, number one, welcoming our
18 friends from the Malayali community. I know
19 there's a large contingent from Queens as well as
20 I suppose from Westchester and also Long Island.
21 In fact, many parts of the state boast a
22 community of people of Malayali descent, and are
23 proud of it.
24 And I think when you look at
25 Senator Thomas, who has faithfully brought this
4860
1 resolution every year for six years since he's
2 been in the Senate, he is an incredible example
3 of how outstanding the Malayali community
4 continues to provide the State of New York.
5 And so I want to thank
6 Senator Thomas for this resolution. He really
7 represents not only the best of New York but
8 certainly the best of the Malayali community, of
9 which he is a proud son.
10 So welcome. And Senator Thomas, we
11 thank you once again.
12 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
13 you.
14 Senator Stavisky on the resolution.
15 SENATOR STAVISKY: Yes, thank you,
16 Madam President.
17 And welcome. And I too want to
18 thank Senator Thomas for enriching our cultural
19 lives. I believe he is one of the few
20 representatives of the South Asian community, and
21 I am so proud to represent so many South Asian
22 individuals in my district in Queens.
23 And we welcome you to Albany. I
24 know, I recognize some of the names of the people
25 who were introduced. And this is I hope going to
4861
1 continue for many years to come. And welcome
2 back. This is your other home, and we're glad to
3 have you.
4 Thank you, Madam President.
5 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
6 you.
7 Senator Cooney on the resolution.
8 SENATOR COONEY: Thank you,
9 Madam President.
10 I'm just so proud of my colleague
11 Senator Thomas for his historic representation,
12 and I wanted to note it on the record.
13 I truly believe that government
14 works best when it represents the diversity of
15 its constituents. Senator Thomas has been doing
16 that his entire tenure in the Senate. This
17 resolution is just another example of how his
18 pride in his culture and his heritage bleeds
19 through his work as a public servant.
20 And I am grateful to have him as a
21 colleague and grateful to welcome our community
22 here today.
23 Thank you, Madam President.
24 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
25 you.
4862
1 To our guests, I welcome you on
2 behalf of the Senate. We extend to you the
3 privileges and courtesies of this house.
4 Please rise and be recognized.
5 (Standing ovation.)
6 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
7 Gianaris.
8 SENATOR GIANARIS: Madam President,
9 we're now going to simultaneously call a meeting
10 of the Rules Committee in Room 332 and continue
11 with the resolutions.
12 So please call an immediate meeting
13 of the Rules Committee and move to previously
14 adopted Resolution 2486, by Senator Cooney, read
15 that resolution's title, and recognize
16 Senator Cooney.
17 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: The
18 previous resolution was adopted on January 17th.
19 There will be an immediate meeting
20 of the Rules Committee in Room 332.
21 The Secretary will read.
22 THE SECRETARY: Resolution 2486, by
23 Senator Cooney, memorializing Governor Kathy
24 Hochul to proclaim June 2024 as Alzheimer's and
25 Brain Awareness Month in the State of New York.
4863
1 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
2 Cooney on the resolution.
3 SENATOR COONEY: Thank you,
4 Madam President.
5 Over 400,000 New Yorkers currently
6 live with Alzheimer's and dementia, a number,
7 sadly, only expected to increase in the coming
8 years. That's why I was proud to work with
9 Senator Rolison to officially recognize this
10 month of June in New York State as Alzheimer's
11 and Brain Awareness Month.
12 It's about providing support to
13 those suffering from this disease, but it's also
14 a time to recognize and focus on the good habits
15 of New Yorkers, the good habits that can help
16 prevent this disease from spreading without
17 knowledge, by continuing to make critical
18 investments in research, by continuing to raise
19 awareness about the supportive services available
20 across New York for loved ones and caretakers of
21 people who are suffering from these traumatic
22 brain injuries and dementias.
23 Like so many others in our state,
24 it's a month that means a lot to me personally,
25 as my mother suffered from dementia for many
4864
1 years. And I'm very grateful to work in a
2 bipartisan way in this Senate chamber to call
3 attention to the ongoing need to provide more
4 funds, more research, and more awareness and
5 support services for families dealing with
6 Alzheimer's and dementia.
7 Madam President, I vote aye.
8 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
9 you, Senator.
10 Senator Rolison on the resolution.
11 SENATOR ROLISON: Thank you,
12 Madam President.
13 And I want to thank my colleague and
14 friend Senator Cooney for bringing this
15 resolution forward.
16 Madam President, as he said, there
17 are 400,000 individuals right now in our great
18 state dealing with a very difficult and terrible
19 illness, and it's estimated by 2025 that that
20 number will grow to 460,000 people.
21 But I wanted to focus this
22 afternoon, Madam President, on someone who is
23 here today, who is dealing with this very illness
24 as we speak. And he is a dear friend. He is a
25 former colleague of mine in the Town of
4865
1 Poughkeepsie Police Department, where we worked
2 together for close to 20 years serving in various
3 capacities. But the best part of my career was
4 when I worked with Chris Davies, Jr., in the
5 detective bureau. We worked on the same
6 detective quad.
7 And Chris, like I, retired to go on
8 to do different things. They moved up here to
9 the Saratoga region, he and his wife Cheri, who
10 is here in the gallery. And then in 2018 he was
11 diagnosed with the younger onset of Alzheimer's,
12 at the age of 51. And I remember when I heard
13 this, as all of my friends and colleagues did.
14 We were devastated. We were quite frankly in
15 shock and wanting to do something immediately, as
16 cops generally want to do -- other than giving
17 him all the love that he always got and will
18 continue to get, and the support that he needed
19 and Cheri needed, and their son Aidan.
20 But what we saw in a very short
21 period of time was that Chris and Cheri made the
22 decision that they were going to meet this
23 disease head on. And the work that they did
24 within their community and with the Alzheimer's
25 Association was, What do you do at age 51? Do
4866
1 you just kind of mail it in and wait for
2 something to continually get worse? No, that's
3 not what Chris Davies did. He and Cheri became
4 the voice for younger individuals who are now
5 afflicted with this terrible situation.
6 Cheri has written words about this,
7 and there's a chapter in this book called "The
8 Grief Experience," which talks about how it
9 happened, what they did, and then, most
10 importantly, what do you do?
11 You make a plan. You make a plan
12 while you still can. And that is what Chris and
13 Cheri have done, and that's what they have
14 encouraged us -- they've been -- throughout the
15 media, they've been recognized by all kinds of
16 organizations dedicated to these types of
17 illnesses to actually go out and prepare for the
18 future while in many respects you still have the
19 opportunity to do so.
20 So when I got elected in 2022, and
21 knowing that Chris and Cheri were not far from
22 here, I wanted to have them down. And then
23 knowing that this was the week that we were going
24 to recognize this terrible situation that so many
25 people, 460,000 -- or 400,000, soon to be 460 --
4867
1 are going to find themselves in, Chris and Cheri
2 came down today.
3 And I know he knows this, and I know
4 that Cheri knows this, but I love them both very
5 dearly. And the time that we spent together as
6 cops is something that I'll always cherish.
7 Christopher was an excellent police officer, an
8 excellent husband, an excellent dad, and a great
9 community person.
10 And, Madam Chair, if you would
11 extend the courtesies of this house to my good
12 Chris Davies, Jr., and his wife Cheri, I really
13 would appreciate that.
14 And I proudly, Madam Chair --
15 Madam President, excuse me -- vote aye.
16 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
17 you, Senator.
18 To our guests, Chris and Cheri, I
19 welcome you on behalf of the Senate. We extend
20 to you the privileges and courtesies of this
21 house.
22 Please rise and be recognized.
23 (Standing ovation.)
24 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: The
25 resolution was adopted on May 21st.
4868
1 Senator Liu.
2 SENATOR LIU: Madam President,
3 please take up previously adopted Resolution
4 1762, by Senator Tedisco, read the resolution in
5 title only, and recognize Senator Tedisco.
6 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: The
7 Secretary will read.
8 THE SECRETARY: Resolution 1762, by
9 Senator Tedisco, congratulating Mia Collins of
10 Ballston Spa High School upon the occasion of
11 capturing the 2024 New York State Public
12 High School Athletic Association Girls Wrestling
13 Championship title in the 132-pound Division on
14 January 26, 2024.
15 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
16 Tedisco on the resolution.
17 SENATOR TEDISCO: Thank you,
18 Madam President.
19 Madam President, I'm pleased to
20 welcome a wrestling champion and a trailblazer
21 out of Ballston Spa High School to the chamber
22 today.
23 Now, it's only appropriate that we
24 would honor and recognize an outstanding athlete
25 because, as you know, it is Sneakers Day in the
4869
1 Senate. But I wouldn't -- I hope you'd not have
2 wrestling sneakers on and want to challenge her,
3 because you wouldn't do very well.
4 Let me tell you a little bit about
5 Mia Collins. Mia Collins captured the 2024
6 New York State Public High School Athletic
7 Association Girls Wrestling Championship title in
8 the 132-pound division over top-seeded Alexa
9 Doxey of Newfane High School at the Syracuse
10 Research Corporation Arena and Event Center in
11 Syracuse on Friday, January 26th, of this year.
12 Prior to the final match, Mia
13 recorded a 38-second pin in her first match, a
14 reversal with 17 seconds remaining, to win a
15 six-four decision in her quarterfinal bout, and
16 then put together a second-period pin in the
17 semifinals. Mia's victory capped off an
18 undefeated season record of 10 wins and zero, no
19 losses whatsoever.
20 Along with being the first New York
21 State Girls Wrestling Champion from Ballston Spa
22 High School, but I'm very sure will not the
23 last -- in fact, she is the only junior, so you
24 just might see her here again next year.
25 In light of her recent
4870
1 accomplishment, Mia Collins has garnered a
2 national ranking of eighth in her weight class
3 and, though only a junior, she finished third at
4 the Fargo Nationals in North Dakota -- a
5 tremendous achievement for a young lady who's a
6 junior. Or anyone, for that fact.
7 While coaching plays a role in the
8 success of any athlete, Mia is joined in the
9 gallery by perhaps the greatest support system
10 any champion or athlete can have: Her loving and
11 supportive family. Here with Mia today are her
12 grandmother Barbara, her grandfather Jeff, her
13 father, Todd.
14 Madam President, would you please
15 extended a warm welcome to this outstanding
16 student athlete and her family and give them all
17 the cordialities of this august body. We're
18 proud of her.
19 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
20 you, Senator.
21 To our guests, Mia Collins and your
22 family, I welcome you on behalf of the Senate and
23 extend to you the cordialities of this house.
24 Please rise and be recognized.
25 (Standing ovation.)
4871
1 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: The
2 resolution was adopted on February 6th.
3 Senator Liu.
4 SENATOR LIU: Madam President,
5 please recognize Senator Webb -- Lea Webb! -- for
6 an introduction.
7 (Laughter.)
8 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
9 Webb for an introduction.
10 SENATOR WEBB: Thank you,
11 Madam President.
12 I rise proudly to welcome a
13 remarkable guest from my district to our chamber.
14 I'm deeply honored to introduce Maria Dibble, who
15 has demonstrated profound and personal triumph,
16 unwavering resolve, and remarkable professional
17 achievement over the course of her life.
18 Maria was born visually impaired and
19 has faced many challenges and obstacles over the
20 course of her life and career, but has worked
21 tirelessly as an advocate for the disability
22 community, dedicating herself to changing
23 societal attitudes, dismantling barriers to
24 inclusion, and promoting acceptance.
25 Maria is a fellow alum of my alma
4872
1 mater, Binghamton University, and 40 years ago
2 she cofounded an organization that has served the
3 Southern Tier of New York disability community,
4 providing services to individuals of all ages
5 with all types of disabilities, with the goal of
6 empowering people with disabilities to live an
7 independent life.
8 Maria has also been an unapologetic
9 and staunch advocate for disability rights at the
10 national level, particularly during the battle
11 for the passage of the Americans with
12 Disabilities Act. She built upon the momentum of
13 the ADA to further key aspects of the independent
14 living mission, including deinstitutionalization,
15 supported employment, and consumer directed
16 personal assistance, also known as CDPAP.
17 In 2004 Maria led the creation of
18 the Children's Mental Health Task Force to
19 address the service gap for individuals with both
20 developmental disabilities and mental health
21 challenges.
22 And if that wasn't enough, in 2019
23 Maria was inducted into the New York State
24 Disability Rights Hall of Fame.
25 Maria, today we not only celebrate
4873
1 your retirement -- well-deserved retirement, I
2 may add -- after 40 years of service to your
3 community, but we also want to thank you for your
4 continued leadership, your dedication to
5 improving the lives of countless individuals.
6 You have and continue to set an example for all
7 of us in public service, and I include myself in
8 that number.
9 And with that, Madam President, I
10 ask that you join me in congratulating Maria
11 Dibble on her retirement after 40 years of
12 devoted service to the disability community.
13 Please welcome Maria to our chamber.
14 Thank you, Madam President.
15 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you,
16 Senator Webb.
17 To our guest Maria Dibble,
18 congratulations on your retirement. We welcome
19 you on behalf of the Senate. We extend to you
20 the privileges and courtesies of the house.
21 Please rise and be recognized.
22 (Standing ovation.)

19 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: The
20 Secretary will read.
21 THE SECRETARY: Resolution 2527, by
22 Senator Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick, commemorating the
23 100th Anniversary of the Franklin Square & Munson
24 Fire Department.
25 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Senator
4987
1 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick on the resolution.
2 SENATOR CANZONERI-FITZPATRICK:
3 Thank you, Madam President.
4 I proudly rise to recognize the
5 Franklin Square & Munson Fire Department for
6 providing a century of service and dedication to
7 the community of Franklin Square. I had the
8 pleasure of joining with the dedicated volunteers
9 from this department over this weekend for a
10 parade and celebration.
11 The Franklin Hook and Ladder Company
12 No. 1 of Munson was the first fire company to
13 provide fire coverage to the community and was
14 formed in 1907 after several large fires occurred
15 in the community. Any time there was a fire,
16 they would ring a large bell that was donated
17 from the local schoolhouse, and that would send a
18 signal to the local firefighters to respond. The
19 first to hitch their horse to the ladder cart
20 would get a reward.
21 The Franklin Square Hose & Chemical
22 Company was eventually formed in 1923 to
23 accommodate the growing community, and they had
24 the benefit of acquiring a motorized fire engine.
25 However, the next year they joined with the
4988
1 Franklin Hook and Ladder Company of Munson to
2 form the Franklin Square & Munson Fire
3 Department, which still serves the community to
4 this day, 100 years later.
5 This volunteer department protects
6 approximately three square miles, including
7 Franklin Square, Garden City South, and parts of
8 West Hempstead, serving about 30,000 people and
9 responding to more than 1,000 fire and medical
10 emergencies each year.
11 I would like to personally thank
12 these dedicated volunteers of Franklin Square &
13 Munson Fire Department for their 100 years of
14 continuous service to our community. I am proud
15 to support this resolution to recognize their
16 exemplary service.
17 Thank you, Madam President.
18 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
19 you, Senator.
20 The resolution was adopted on
21 May 21st.
22 Senator Gianaris.
23 SENATOR GIANARIS: Madam President,
24 please recognize Senator Comrie for an
25 introduction.
4989
1 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
2 Comrie for an introduction.
3 SENATOR COMRIE: Thank you,
4 Madam President.
5 I stand and rise today to welcome
6 various Caribbean consul generals who are here:
7 From Barbados, Rudy Grant. Alsion Wilson from
8 the Island of Jamaica. Marie Andree Amy, from
9 Haiti. And -- I hope this is right -- Rondy
10 McIntosh from St. Vincent.
11 They are here today visiting in
12 Albany so they can see what we do in government
13 here, how do we handle ourselves in the Senate
14 and the Assembly. The Assembly side kept them,
15 but they got here just in time to be recognized
16 before we close for the day.
17 Just to let you know, the
18 collaboration with our Caribbean neighbors is
19 important to the sustenance of many people. As
20 you probably don't know, I'm Jamerican. I was
21 born here to parents that were both born and
22 raised in Jamaica. And from being in Queens, I'm
23 always surrounded by fellow Caribbean Americans
24 from all over the diaspora.
25 Queens, as you know, is home to a
4990
1 variety of Caribbean nationalities, as we house
2 Trinidadian cuisine, we have one of the largest
3 Haitian communities outside of Haiti in
4 Cambria Heights and Queens Village. We also have
5 a strong Jamaican presence, we have strong -- as
6 my wife likes to say, anybody who's doing
7 anything well has Jamaican heritage in them. So
8 she claims everybody that's doing well, from
9 athletes to professors to college presidents.
10 She's claiming them all.
11 Guyanese folks tell you that they're
12 the best and the only, from Guyana. People from
13 Grenada in my district always love to tell you
14 who they are as well.
15 You know, the Caribbean diaspora is
16 a proud diaspora, people that we are honored to
17 have interactions with on a regular basis as
18 much, as well, we have opportunities where we can
19 have the opportunity to experience the taste of
20 home and the taste of the Caribbean as well.
21 There are a lot of jokes that we
22 have in here, but we're late today, I can't spend
23 the half-hour I wanted to, to talk about
24 everything because I got folk looking at me
25 already because they want to go.
4991
1 (Laughter.)
2 SENATOR COMRIE: But I just wanted
3 to say that, you know, we have something that
4 everybody needs to experience in your home
5 countries, is your carnivals. To go to a
6 carnival in the Caribbean is a unique experience
7 unlike any other. I ask you all to go.
8 In my district I have the honor of
9 holding the Grace Jerk Festival, which is
10 something that the entire -- which encompasses
11 the entire diaspora. You get to come and
12 experience all the cuisine from every Caribbean
13 island. I would invite my colleagues to come.
14 And if you have an opportunity to go visit the
15 Caribbean, please don't hesitate to do so.
16 Madam President, as we are short on
17 time, I will ask you to please give all the
18 privileges of the house to the Consul Generals
19 that are here.
20 And thank you for taking the time to
21 stop in our chambers.
22 Thank you, Madam President.
23 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
24 you, Senator.
25 To our guests -- representing
4992
1 Jamaica, Alsion Wilson; Marie Andree Amy, from
2 Haiti; Rudy Grant, Barbados; Rondy McIntosh,
3 Saint Vincent -- I welcome you on behalf of the
4 Senate. We extend to you the privileges and
5 courtesies of this house.
6 Please rise and be recognized.
7 (Standing ovation.)
8 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
9 Gianaris.
10 SENATOR GIANARIS: Now let's move
11 on to previously adopted Resolution 2307, by
12 Senator Mayer, read its title and recognize
13 Senator Mayer.
14 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: The
15 Secretary will read.
16 THE SECRETARY: Resolution 2307, by
17 Senator Mayer, memorializing Governor Kathy
18 Hochul to proclaim June 2024 as Gun Violence
19 Awareness Month in the State of New York.
20 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
21 Mayer on the resolution.
22 SENATOR MAYER: Thank you,
23 Madam President.
24 I rise today in support of this very
25 somber resolution memorializing June as
4993
1 Gun Violence Awareness Month. It coincides with
2 National Gun Violence Awareness Month. And it's
3 truly sad and unfortunate that we have to have
4 such a resolution.
5 But on June 12th of this year, in
6 neighboring Connecticut, the Newtown High School
7 Class of 2024 should include 20 more young adults
8 graduating with their friends. Instead, we
9 remember the lives of 20 children who were killed
10 before they could even graduate from first grade.
11 As I'm sure all of us remember, and
12 we swear we will never forget, on December 14,
13 2012, a gunman brought an AR-15, two
14 semiautomatic pistols, a shotgun and several
15 hundred rounds of ammunition in high-capacity
16 magazines, to Sandy Hook Elementary School. The
17 gunman first killed the principal,
18 Dawn Hochsprung, and school psychologist
19 Mary Sherlach, who tried to stop him in the
20 main office.
21 Lauren Rousseau, a substitute
22 teacher, was hiding her first-grade students in
23 the bathroom when the gunman entered her
24 classroom and killed her and 14 first-graders.
25 One 6-year-old survived by playing dead.
4994
1 The shooter then entered the
2 classroom of Victoria Soto, a first-grade
3 teacher. She had hidden her students in the
4 closet and tried to direct the shooter to the
5 school's auditorium. The shooter shot and killed
6 Soto and six students who tried to run from their
7 hiding spot.
8 The shooter also killed Anne Marie
9 Murphy, a special education aide, who died using
10 her body as a shield, and Rachel Davino, a
11 behavioral specialist.
12 Two other Sandy Hook staff members
13 were injured, including the vice principal, when
14 they heard shots fired. Within five minutes the
15 shooter killed 20 children between the ages of
16 six and seven, and six staff members.
17 Since December of 2012 there have
18 been 562 school shootings in the United States.
19 Our children deserve to be safe in
20 school. Our teachers deserve to be safe at work.
21 Our people deserve to be safe in their
22 workplaces, in their stores, their theaters and
23 their houses of worship.
24 Yet mass shootings have become so
25 frequent we don't even hear about all of them all
4995
1 the time anymore.
2 Today, as we commemorate these
3 individual human beings, the victims of mass
4 shootings, and the gun violence that permeates
5 many of our communities, we recommit ourselves to
6 awareness, to education, to intervention and
7 prevention. And we urge the Governor to ensure
8 that this day and this month is recognized in
9 New York State and that we take real steps to
10 combat gun violence.
11 Thank you, Madam President.
12 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
13 you, Senator.
14 Senator Bailey on the resolution.
15 SENATOR BAILEY: Thank you,
16 Madam President.
17 Thank you, Senator Mayer, for this
18 important resolution.
19 You know, Senator Mayer mentioned a
20 lot of the shootings that we've heard, they
21 become names that are emblazoned in our mind by
22 just the utterance of the word Newtown,
23 Columbine, the Post, so on and so forth -- so
24 many. But it's not just about those large-scale
25 ones, it is about the ones that happen in
4996
1 Canarsie, Madam President, in the Bronx, in
2 Southeast Queens, in the North Country.
3 My friends, gun violence is not a
4 partisan issue. Bullets, last time I checked,
5 they don't register to vote. It's not a racial
6 issue, because last time I checked they don't
7 check an identifying box.
8 Gun violence affects each and every
9 one of us, each of our districts, each of our
10 communities. And the effects of gun violence are
11 generational. They affect not just the person
12 being shot and the person doing the shooting and
13 their families, they create conditions of fear,
14 conditions of reticence, conditions of
15 helplessness.
16 It is up to us -- regardless of
17 party affiliation, regardless of where we sit,
18 regardless of where we stand -- to stand for
19 something to stop the scourge of gun violence.
20 Now, we can make sure we start with
21 education, putting down the gun and picking up a
22 book. But stopping, in ridiculous capacity,
23 rifles or bullets or -- excuse me, weapons that
24 have no other condition, military grades -- we
25 don't need those on our streets. Those should be
4997
1 left to the women and men who are defending
2 interests in the military. We don't need that on
3 White Plains Road. Or any other road in any of
4 the states in the United States of America.
5 So we should recommit ourselves not
6 just because it's Gun Violence Awareness Month,
7 but because we're people of conscience, people of
8 faith, people of hope. So I hope that at some
9 point we really do stop the violence. And I want
10 to thank everybody in this chamber that's doing
11 something to prevent it. Whether it's working
12 with a violence interruption group or funding
13 your local organizations or giving money to some
14 community-based organization that's helping
15 someone out, you are doing something.
16 It's up to us if we want to prevent
17 the next name that we don't know yet that hasn't
18 happened yet. I don't want to say it will happen
19 but, sadly enough, I'm pretty sure it will.
20 I just pray that it doesn't happen
21 to any of us in here. But isn't that the hope,
22 Madam President? It's never real until it
23 affects your house, till it -- that was my
24 cousin, that was my kid's school. My, my, my.
25 It's about us. Life isn't all good
4998
1 until everybody's good. So I say that to say
2 thank you, Senator Mayer, once again for
3 introducing this resolution, and I hope that we
4 can be a part of the solution and not a part of
5 the ever-present problem.
6 Thank you, Madam President.
7 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Thank
8 you, Senator.
9 The resolution was adopted on
10 May 7th.
11 Senator Gianaris.
12 SENATOR GIANARIS: As they used to
13 say in Monty Python, and now for something
14 completely different.
15 Let's stick with Senator Bailey for
16 previously adopted Resolution 2308, by
17 Senator Myrie, read its title and recognize
18 Senator Bailey.
19 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: The
20 Secretary will read.
21 THE SECRETARY: Resolution 2308, by
22 Senator Myrie, memorializing Governor Kathy
23 Hochul to proclaim October 9, 2024, as
24 Sneakers Day in the State of New York.
25 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: Senator
4999
1 Bailey on Sneaker Day.
2 SENATOR BAILEY: Thank you,
3 Madam President. Thank you, Madam President.
4 And so I've just been noticed we've
5 gained a few more viewers at home. So hi, Mara,
6 Giada, Carina and Julian. Just want to make sure
7 I said hello to them.
8 You know, we gained new viewers on
9 the legislative channel, and we've gained more
10 members of the largest growing caucus in New York
11 State government, the Sneaker Caucus.
12 Now, since January, whether it be
13 members, whether it be staff members, whether it
14 be lobbyists, whether it be anybody in this
15 building, the number-one question has been, When
16 is Sneaker Day? When is Sneaker Day coming? And
17 this is one of these fun days that we get to have
18 in this chamber that we get to speak about the
19 unity in the house. We get to speak about
20 something a little fun, something not as heavy,
21 something that can bring us all together.
22 I'm excited that, you know -- and my
23 excuse to buy more sneakers now, Madam President,
24 is that now I have a son. And so like now I have
25 to -- it's my duty to pass down the legacy
5000
1 sneakers to him. It is incumbent upon me to pass
2 the tradition down.
3 I believe that this is a day that we
4 get a chance to do something and show off our
5 creativity in who we are and what we're wearing.
6 So, Madam President, today I'm
7 wearing a pair of Air Max 1 '86s, the Jackie
8 Robinson edition. Jackie Robinson is -- was a
9 hero of mine. As you well know, on April 15,
10 1947, he broke the color barrier in Major League
11 Baseball. And he had a lot of courage. He had a
12 lot of panache, as it was, Madam President, to be
13 able do something in that era that I still don't
14 know if people can do in this era.
15 So I decided to recognize him today
16 by wearing a pair of sneakers, and the socks too.
17 You know, I have to coordinate, as they say,
18 Madam President. I have to put the sneakers and
19 the socks together. But I just wanted this
20 opportunity to thank Senator Myrie for
21 introducing this resolution, and for all of my
22 colleagues on both sides of the aisle. The
23 Sneaker Caucus has grown.
24 And also I wanted to make sure I
25 send out a little friendly rivalry shout-out to
5001
1 our friends in D.C. You see, last year we did
2 Sneaker Day because, you know, the Empire
3 State -- as goes New York, so goes the country.
4 And so went the country. They decided to have a
5 Sneaker Day on Capitol Hill -- don't worry, all,
6 they weren't as fresh as us. They didn't do it
7 like we did it. But they talked about it like
8 they were the first ones.
9 And I wanted to say, look, I respect
10 and appreciate my federal colleagues, but we did
11 it first. Actually, I can't even take credit for
12 it. When I got here, Andy Lanza was wearing
13 sneakers.
14 (Laughter.)
15 SENATOR BAILEY: Don't tell the
16 other Republicans that.
17 But it's not a partisan issue. Some
18 people might watch this or see Sneaker Day, and
19 they say, There are those Democrats that are
20 running Albany into the ground, they're wearing
21 sneakers and they're making a mockery of state
22 government.
23 Well, I ask you, my friend George
24 Borrello got a new pair of sneakers for
25 Sneaker Day.
5002
1 (Laughter.)
2 SENATOR BAILEY: So this is one of
3 those rare occasions, Madam President, to
4 everybody watching, we get a chance to laugh and
5 we get to enjoy the humanity of who we are.
6 Sneakers, when I was growing up, for
7 me, we didn't have a car, so these were my
8 Rolls Royces. This was my Ferrari. This was my
9 Bentley. This was my Benz. Still can't afford
10 those.
11 (Laughter.)
12 SENATOR BAILEY: But this is the
13 importance of Sneaker Day. And there's a culture
14 around it, you know, and it's really, you know,
15 interconnected with hip-hop culture. But you
16 don't have to be hip-hop to be a sneakerhead.
17 Each and every one of you is a sneakerhead. So
18 congratulations on being inducted into the club.
19 And I will end the same way I ended
20 last year, Madam President. If you're having
21 shoe problems, I feel bad for you, son. I got
22 99 problems, but my kicks ain't one.
23 (Laughter; applause.)
24 ACTING PRESIDENT PERSAUD: The
25 resolution was adopted on May 7th.
5003
1 Senator Gianaris.
2 SENATOR GIANARIS: Madam President,

7 of all the sponsors of today's resolutions, they
