2 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: The Senate
3 will come to order.
4 I ask everyone to please rise and
5 recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
6 (Whereupon, the assemblage recited
7 the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.)
8 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Before we
9 have the invocation, I would ask that we have a
10 moment of silence in memory of Dr. Hazel Dukes,
11 president of the New York State NAACP Conference
12 for nearly 50 years, who passed away last week.
13 (Whereupon, the assemblage respected
14 a moment of silence.)
15 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you.
16 Today Pastor Jim O'Hanlon, of
17 St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in my
18 district in Rye Brook, New York, will deliver the
19 invocation.
20 Pastor.
21 PASTOR O'HANLON: I invite us all to
22 draw a deep, healthy breath and dwell in
23 stillness. And I share this prayer.
24 Divine God, You created humanity in
25 a splendid rainbow of diversity -- faces,
799
1 languages, cultures and beliefs. This rainbow is
2 but a fraction of the infinite colors and hues
3 that are You, as we are created in Your image.
4 Bless us with wisdom to respect and
5 cherish and protect our diversity. This week
6 Christians begin a solemn season of Lent, and our
7 Muslim neighbors begin a solemn month of Ramadan.
8 Next week our Jewish neighbors will remember the
9 courage of Esther, who faced a terrifying tyrant.
10 As these legislators begin their
11 deliberations, may they -- may all of us -- give
12 thanks for the wondrous world You have with a
13 beautiful, diverse collection of peoples. May
14 they, and we, listen for and seek the greatest
15 good.
16 Bless them. Bless their staffs,
17 their families. Bless all who work in this
18 complex, especially the essential workers and
19 service providers.
20 May we all seek to live with each
21 other and with all creation with kindness and a
22 keen awareness of the needs awaiting our
23 assistance.
24 Amen.
25 (Response of "Amen.")
800
1 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you
2 so much, Pastor.
3 And as a moment of personal
4 privilege, let me just salute our pastor, who has
5 been a leader in the fight for social justice,
6 the building of interfaith coalitions, and
7 support for equal opportunity throughout the
8 New York suburbs and particularly in Port Chester
9 and Rye Brook.
10 He's been a true leader in the
11 efforts to ensure that we do have peace and
12 tranquility between all of us.
13 So thank you, Pastor, for joining
14 us, and thank you for your lovely prayer.

9 SENATOR SANDERS: Thank you,
10 Madam President.
11 Madam President, today the Senate
12 recognizes and welcomes Cariol Horne to the
13 State Capitol. Cariol Horne is a former Buffalo
14 police officer known for her courageous act of
15 standing up against all brutality, and this time
16 police brutality.
17 In 2006, while on duty, she
18 intervened to stop her fellow officer from using
19 excessive force during the arrest of a suspect.
20 Horne was subsequently fired from the Buffalo
21 Police Department and faced disciplinary action.
22 But her actions gained her
23 recognition as a symbol of accountability within
24 law enforcement. Over time, she became an
25 advocate for police reform and justice,
803
1 highlighting the importance of holding officers
2 accountable for misconduct. Horne's story has
3 since inspired many and sparked conversations
4 about the need for change in police practices.
5 The story doesn't end there. In
6 2021, she won her case and got her pension and
7 back pay. And in 2022, Buffalo created
8 Cariol's Law, which requires police to intervene
9 in all different types of crimes, including
10 crimes of blue.
11 I want to thank Ms. Horne for
12 visiting the Senate today.
13 And Madam President, I ask you to
14 extend a welcome of this great body to Ms. Horne.
15 Thank you very much.
16 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you,
17 Senator Sanders.
18 To our guest, Cariol Holloman-Horne,
19 we welcome you on behalf of the Senate. We
20 extend to you the privileges and courtesies of
21 the house. Please rise and be recognized.
22 (Standing ovation.)
23 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Senator
24 Gianaris.
25 SENATOR GIANARIS: Now please
804
1 recognize Senator O'Mara for another
2 introduction.
3 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Senator
4 O'Mara for an introduction.
5 SENATOR O'MARA: Thank you,
6 Madam President.
7 I have a group I would like to
8 introduce that's here today from the Tioga County
9 Future Farmers of America. I understand we're
10 doing a resolution on behalf of FFA, but not till
11 tomorrow. They're here visiting us today,
12 talking about the future of agriculture, their
13 involvement as youth in the importance of
14 agriculture.
15 They're all here from Tioga County,
16 so I'll identify them, ask you to please stand
17 up. We have students Mason Hill, Mariana Slocum,
18 Jessica Baumbach, Grayden Stanton, Mikayla
19 Wilbur, Mahayla Walsh, Kayla Coppage, Mary Cox.
20 Two advisors: Derek Hill and Susan Armstrong.
21 And FFA Chairman and Tioga County Farm Bureau
22 President Cub Frisbie.
23 Thank you. Thank you for being
24 here, and welcome.
25 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you,
805
1 Senator O'Mara.
2 To our guests from Tioga County FFA,
3 we welcome you on behalf of the Senate. We
4 extend to you the privileges and courtesies of
5 the house. Please stay standing and be
6 recognized.
7 (Standing ovation.)
8 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Senator
9 Gianaris.
10 SENATOR GIANARIS: Let's take up
11 previously adopted Resolution 391, by
12 Senator Persaud, read that resolution's title,
13 and recognize Senator Persaud.
14 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: The
15 Secretary will read.
16 THE SECRETARY: Resolution 391, by
17 Senator Persaud, memorializing Governor Kathy
18 Hochul to proclaim March 3-7, 2025, as
19 School Breakfast Week in the State of New York.
20 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER:
21 Senator Persaud on the resolution.
22 SENATOR PERSAUD: Thank you,
23 Madam President.
24 I stand today to celebrate the
25 importance of a nutritious school breakfast in
806
1 setting students up for success as we recognize
2 School Breakfast Week, taking place from
3 March 3rd to March 7th in New York State.
4 Here in New York, 19 percent of
5 children are food-insecure. Think of that. In
6 New York State, 19 percent of children are
7 food-insecure.
8 School-aged children who experience
9 hunger are more likely to miss school, struggle
10 academically, and face health challenges --
11 something that should not be occurring in our
12 state or our country.
13 Every child deserves to start their
14 day with a nutritious breakfast. Eating
15 breakfast improves children's overall diets,
16 builds healthy lifelong eating habits, and
17 enhances their ability to learn and perform
18 academically.
19 Making breakfast a part of the
20 school day at no cost to families is an important
21 and effective way to ensure children reap the
22 benefits of breakfast.
23 In 2024, more than 152 million
24 breakfast meals were served in New York State,
25 reaching more than 876,000 students, with more
807
1 than 1200 schools participating in the New York
2 State breakfast program.
3 I want to remind us to continue our
4 commitment to expanding access to and improving
5 current school breakfast programs to ensure our
6 children are properly fed and have the tools they
7 need to succeed.
8 Today in our chamber we have our
9 guest, Rachel Sabella. She's the director of
10 New York No Kid Hungry. And they are strong
11 advocates for school lunch programs and breakfast
12 programs.
13 So, Madam President, I ask you to
14 please extend the cordialities of the house to
15 No Kid Hungry so that we continue to fight to
16 ensure that no kid across the State of New York
17 goes hungry.
18 Thank you.
19 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you,
20 Senator Persaud.
21 Senator Bailey on the resolution.
22 SENATOR BAILEY: Thank you,
23 Madam President.
24 I just want to thank Senator Persaud
25 for introducing this incredibly important
808
1 resolution.
2 Those of us who are adults often
3 opine about how we can't get our day started
4 without coffee. And those of us who are drivers
5 would never dare to drive a vehicle without gas.
6 Well, how can you expect a child to learn
7 optimally if we don't give them the fuel that
8 they need?
9 Studies show, as Senator Persaud
10 illuminated that, that our kids do better when
11 they're full. When they have a full stomach,
12 they can have a fuller mind. With so many kids
13 facing so many different things in society, from
14 not just food insecurity, to housing insecurity,
15 to clothing insecurity, making sure that within
16 our school buildings that there is a safe haven,
17 there is a respite for these children. That they
18 have the beginning of their day to start.
19 And while I am, you know, admittedly
20 no fan of breakfast myself -- that's a choice
21 that I can make as an adult -- the choice should
22 not be made for these children. They should have
23 the ability and the full plates in front of them
24 so that they can learn.
25 The Breakfast Club should be more
809
1 than a regaled '80s movie or a group of people on
2 a radio station that talk about things. It
3 should be what each of our children in every
4 school throughout this state have the opportunity
5 to have.
6 So I'm incredibly honored to be able
7 to speak on the resolution. I'm incredibly
8 grateful for the work that Rachel and No Kid
9 Hungry are doing throughout the great State of
10 New York to make sure that we have everything
11 that our kids need, because they are the most
12 important thing that we can ever invest in.
13 So I proudly vote aye on the
14 resolution, Madam President. Thank you.
15 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you,
16 Senator Bailey.
17 Senator Hinchey on the resolution.
18 SENATOR HINCHEY: Thank you,
19 Madam President.
20 I would like to rise and thank
21 Senator Persaud for bringing this resolution to
22 the floor today.
23 As was said, you cannot teach a
24 hungry student. No student should have to worry
25 about where their next meal is going to come
810
1 from.
2 And yet for too many kids across our
3 state, school is where they get fed. And so
4 making sure that they have two healthy meals a
5 day is critical. That way they can focus on
6 their studies, they can focus on social and
7 emotional learning. And it's something that the
8 teachers then can be committed -- or already be
9 committed to and know that they can just focus on
10 teaching students and not have to worry about if
11 anyone is hungry in their classroom.
12 One thing to note as well is
13 New York is an ag state. And so it's incumbent
14 upon us to make sure that the food that our
15 students are getting in their schools is locally
16 sourced, healthy food. And I want to thank the
17 students here from FFA, because that's the next
18 generation.
19 And this body has done a lot of work
20 not just to ensure that we have universal school
21 meals across all of our schools in this state,
22 but also that we can add breakfast to the Farm to
23 School program so that every student is actually
24 getting locally sourced food. It's one thing to
25 talk about it. It's another to actually make
811
1 sure that that's a reality.
2 And so, Senator Persaud, thank you
3 for bringing this to the floor. And I look
4 forward to working with all of my colleagues to
5 ensure that these programs stay well into the
6 future.
7 Thank you.
8 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you,
9 Senator Hinchey.
10 Senator Murray on the resolution.
11 SENATOR MURRAY: Thank you,
12 Madam President.
13 I'd like to echo my colleagues in
14 thanking Senator Persaud for bringing this to the
15 floor and bringing attention and keeping
16 attention on the important issue of making sure
17 our children are fed properly in school.
18 As one who, when I was a child
19 growing up, I was on the free and reduced meal
20 program, and I would come in for my free meals.
21 But the teasing and everything, and the bullying,
22 got so bad that I frankly stopped eating. And it
23 affected me.
24 And so the fact that we are bringing
25 attention to this issue, the fact that we are
812
1 pushing hard to make sure that every child in
2 this state will get a meal, will not be in school
3 hungry, will not be suffering -- I cannot
4 overstate the importance of that.
5 So thank you, Senator Persaud.
6 Thank you to my colleagues. I proudly vote aye.
7 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you,
8 Senator Murray.
9 Senator Oberacker on the resolution.
10 SENATOR OBERACKER: Thank you,
11 Madam President.
12 I think those of you that know when
13 I stand up when it comes to food -- it is a very
14 strong and a very passionate subject for me. So
15 Senator Persaud, thank you for bringing this very
16 important resolution to the floor.
17 You know, my dad, who grew up under
18 postwar Germany conditions, when he immigrated to
19 the United States was in the food industry.
20 And I'll always remember a certain
21 time, and this was back when I was actually
22 playing Little League, and I had an extremely
23 good game. And he was talking -- my dad was
24 there, and he was talking to a friend of his, and
25 the friend of his said, "I'll bet you that you're
813
1 so proud of your son and that you wish that he
2 would become a professional ballplayer."
3 And I'll always remember this. My
4 dad said, "No. My wish for my son is that he
5 never has to go to bed hungry."
6 It has stuck with me all these
7 years. It has stuck to me all these years.
8 So, Senator Persaud, you're
9 100 percent on-mark. Well done. And any time
10 that we can feed the children, we have done a
11 great thing. So I proudly, proudly vote aye.
12 Thank you.
13 ACTING PRESIDENT MAYER: Thank you.
14 To our guests from No Kid Hungry, we
15 welcome you on behalf of the Senate. We extend
16 to you the privileges and courtesies of the
17 house.
18 Please rise and be recognized.
19 (Standing ovation.)
