July 2014
As you may know, the 2014
LegislativeSessionhas just con-
cluded. Many initiatives passed
in thisyear’sSessionwillhelp to
keep our Statemoving forward.
Majorhighlights include:
1.Tax relief for residents: lower
energy taxes and a newproperty
tax rebate;
2.More tax relief so that small
businesses and manufacturers
can succeed, grow and help cre-
ate new job opportunities;
3. Job training initiatives to
open doors to successful careers
and a bright, rewarding future;
4. Funding for critical road,
bridge and infrastructure up-
grades to keep our economy
moving; and
5.Helpingseniors leadhealthy,
independent liveswithanexpan-
sion of theEPIC program.
From the start of the year,
my main objectives were clear:
reducing the tax burden and
enacting strategic initiatives to
spur economic opportunities.
Thesefive initiativeswill help to
achieve these goals.
Other importantmeasureswere
taken to address a scourge of
heroin and opioid addiction all
across New York State. This
serious problem is taking young
lives and destroying once prom-
ising futures.
Given the serious nature of
this statewide crisis confronting
our communities, I am pleased
that action is being takenon this
particular issue. A comprehen-
sive legislative package, con-
sisting of 11 separate bills, will
enhance treatment options and
availability, crack down on the
illegaldistributionofopioids,and
increase educational efforts and
publicoutreachabout thedangers
of heroinandopioidabuse. Each
one of these new laws will help
to protect our local communities
and families from these destruc-
tiveandpotentiallydeadlydrugs.
Taking action to combat this
crisis follows on the heels of the
work completed by the Senate
TaskForceonHeroinandOpioid
Addiction. Recently, the Task
Force conducted 18 public fo-
rums across the State, including
one which I hosted in Western
New York. After hearing from
276 panelists, the Task Force
issued a report with recommen-
dations provided by substance
abuse experts, law enforcement
officials and concerned citizens.
Ingeneral, the2014Legislative
Sessionwas productive inmany
respects. However, I am disap-
pointed that the StateAssembly
failed to act on some important
initiatives already passed by the
State Senate, including a bill
to end workplace discrimina-
tion against pregnant women,
a measure to ensure equal pay
for women, and the Trafficking
Victims Protection and Justice
Act. I am deeply disappointed
that the StateAssembly failed to
change its course of inaction on
these important issues.
