Asambleísta Phil Ramos destaca importancia de XXV edición de “Somos” en un año decisivo

Se llevó a cabo la 25 edición de la conferencia “Somos”, la reunión más importante de oficiales hispanos electos y nombrados a nivel estatal.

La Conferencia se llevó a cabo desde el Viernes 23 al Domingo, 25 de marzo 2012, en Albany, capital del Estado Nueva York.

El tema de la conferencia fue: “Celebrando 25 Años de nuestra historia. Expandiendo nuestro horizonte y fortaleciendo nuestras comunidades".

El asambleísta estatal por el sexto distrito Phil Ramos, miembro ejecutivo del comité organizador al realzar la importancia de dicho evento expresó:

“Juntos, hemos sido fuertes estos 25 años y con la colaboración y apoyo de todos, muchos más años de mayores éxitos están por venir”.

“Este es otro paso histórico en un año muy significativo para la comunidad hispana, ya que es un año de tomar decisiones importantes sobre aspectos que impactarán nuestras comunidades por los próximos diez años. Long Island ha sido el epicentro en la lucha en contra del racismo y demás desigualdades en todo el estado de Nueva York. Los hispanos estamos listos para asumir las responsabilidades y volver hacer historia, dijo Ramos.

Ramos destacó el reconocimiento que varios jóvenes líderes comunitarios de su distrito fueron reconocidos a nivel estatal por su aporte al desarrollo de la comunidad hispana, entre ellos fueron reconocidos: Luis Montes Amaya, Asistente Adjunto del Ejecutivo del Condado de Suffolk así como April Ortiz y Joselo Lucero.

Decenas de representantes de organizaciones de la comunidad hispana atendieron la invitación a participar en la Conferencia de Primavera de este año, “Somos”. Este año marcó un hito importante ya que se celebró el 25 aniversario de dicha Conferencia.

Bellone, Bishop Announce Federal Funding to Help Residents Find Permanent Housing

(Hauppauge, NY-March 22, 2012) Today, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone and US Congressman Tim Bishop announced that under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Suffolk County is receiving $267,176 to assist individuals and families in quickly regaining stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness.

“This federal funding will help Suffolk County residents who have seen tough times get back on their feet,” County Executive Bellone said. “As Suffolk County residents continue to deal with a slow rebounding economy these housing funds are critical. I want to thank Congressman Bishop and our federal representatives for their critical help in securing these funds.”

“I am pleased that increased federal funding I supported will allow local non-profit agencies to extend housing assistance for Suffolk County residents who need a helping hand as the economic recovery continues,” said Congressman Tim Bishop. “I applaud the efforts of County Executive Bellone and his team to support Suffolk’s most vulnerable residents.”

Under the terms of the grant, the funds will be directed to non-for-profit agencies to:
• assist with the operation of emergency shelters,
• provide homeless housing and supportive services, and
• prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless in the first place through funding of homeless prevention programs.

The Suffolk County Office of Community Development received 14 applications for the Emergency Solutions funding and following an internal review and consultation with the Suffolk Continuum of Care, a coalition of homeless prevention/shelter organizations, the Office of Community Development has selected 7 organizations to receive the ESG 2012 allocation.

The award recipients are as follows:
• The Retreat, East Hampton-- $70,000
• The Ministry For Hope, Inc., Port Jefferson-- $16,175
• Nassau/Suffolk Law Services Committee, Inc., Islandia-- $93,873
• Mercy Haven, Inc., Islip Terrace-- $19,050
• Options for Community Living, Inc., Smithtown-- $24,350
• Suffolk County United Veterans, Riverhead-- $19,938
• Brighter Tomorrows, Shirley-- $23,090

Illegal Immigrants Get Scholarships While Aid Bill Idles

Illegal Immigrants Get Scholarships While Aid Bill Idles
By KIRK SEMPLE

Among all the numbers that populate Nataly Lopez’s life — including phone digits, addresses, pass codes and friends’ ages — there is one that she never forgets: the cost of a semester’s tuition at Baruch College, where she is a sophomore.

Ms. Lopez, 21, is an illegal immigrant from Ecuador and has struggled to make ends meet, working several jobs to be able to pay for school.

“Two thousand eight hundred and five,” she said. “I know that number because I have to reach it to get to the next semester.”

State proposals that would make government financial aid available for illegal immigrants like Ms. Lopez are pending in Albany. Frustrated with the pace of federal and state legislative action, advocacy groups, with the support of New York City officials, have developed a stopgap solution — for a small number of needy students, at least.

On Thursday, the groups announced the recipients of a new college scholarship specifically for illegal immigrants, the first such program in the state, they said.

The program is financed by foundations and private donors, not public sources. But it has received crucial financing and support from the Fund for Public Advocacy, a nonprofit arm of the office of the city’s public advocate, Bill de Blasio, a likely candidate for mayor in 2013.

“We all have to make up for the madness of our national policies,” Mr. de Blasio, a Democrat, said at a news conference to introduce the 10 recipients, including Ms. Lopez. “As an American and the grandson of immigrants, I’m offended we even have to be standing here having this discussion.”

The first round of scholarships, called Dream Fellowships, was open only to undergraduates in the City University of New York system. The program allocates $2,000 toward a semester’s tuition per recipient. It also places the students in a leadership-development program and provides them with internships at immigrant-advocacy organizations across the city.

Last year, the California Legislature passed a bill allowing illegal immigrant students access to state financial aid. In the absence of similar legislation in other states, advocates have created private scholarships specifically intended for illegal immigrants, though they remain rare.

More than 100 students applied for the fellowships, which are coordinated by the New York Immigration Coalition and receive additional financing from the Korean American Community Foundation, as well as small contributions by several labor unions.

The initial group of fellows immigrated from East and South Asia and Central and South America. In the news conference, they said that the internships were an opportunity to broaden their education, and that the money was a much-needed windfall to help allay tuition.

They spoke of their ambitions to pursue advanced degrees and become highly trained professionals — in the United States. But they also described the stresses of living in legal shadows, juggling jobs and classes while pressing forward toward an uncertain future.

Yohan Garcia, 25, said he dropped out of high school in Mexico and came to the United States nine years ago. While holding various low-wage jobs, including washing dishes, he learned English and enrolled at the Borough of Manhattan Community College. He now attends Hunter College and hopes to become a human rights lawyer or senator.

“I am a dreamer,” he declared.

Ms. Lopez, who immigrated at age 4, said she dropped out of college in 2009 when she could no longer pay for her classes. As the gravity of her legal situation dawned on her — “the realization that I can’t do anything in this country,” Ms. Lopez said — she pitched headlong into depression.

It took her a year to return to college. Now in the last semester of her sophomore year and pursuing a major in the psychology of language, she works full time as a waitress and is also a social media consultant for a Web design company and an English tutor.

“Our stories represent 65,000 students who are in the same position,” she said.

Cuomo and G.O.P. Quiet So Far on Tuition Aid for Illegal Immigrants

Cuomo and G.O.P. Quiet So Far on Tuition Aid for Illegal Immigrants
By JOHN ELIGON

ALBANY — With immigration still a contentious issue around the country, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Republican lawmakers have maintained a noticeable distance from New York State proposals that would make financial aid available to illegal immigrants at colleges and universities.

Advocates for the so-called Dream Act have the backing of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who said at a recent budget hearing that maintaining a system in which illegal immigrants cannot gain access to scholarship aid “is just asking us to continually have a group of people who can’t share in the American dream.”

But thus far the advocates have been unable to win public support from Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat who has generally been supportive of immigrants but who faces the possibility that his position could reverberate if he runs for president in 2016.

Mr. Cuomo’s spokesman would say only that the governor was studying the legislation.

Advocates for the legislation are also hoping to win support from at least some Republican lawmakers, as party leaders have increasingly promoted their outreach to the state’s fast-growing Hispanic population. But Republicans have so far issued only cautionary statements about the Dream Act.

New York, a state in which about 22 percent of the population is foreign-born, is one of a handful of states that allow illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition at public universities. The City University of New York system has nearly 6,000 illegal immigrants enrolled at its schools, a spokesman said; the State University of New York does not track the immigration status of its students, according to its spokesman.

This year, seeking to broaden educational opportunities for residents who were brought to the United States illegally as children, lawmakers are offering several proposals to make it easier for them to pay for higher education.

Two versions of the Dream Act have been proposed in the State Legislature. One would allow illegal immigrants who graduated from a high school in the state to get a piece of the roughly $900 million in the state’s Tuition Assistance Program. The other bill would create a private fund that the students could tap for aid; donors would get tax credits for contributing to the fund.

These Dream Act proposals differ from federal legislation of the same name, backed by President Obama, which would create a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who go to college or serve in the military. The federal bill was defeated in December 2010 and reintroduced last spring.

Daniela Alulema, a proponent of the New York versions of the Dream Act and a board member at the New York State Youth Leadership Council, said the legislation would be an investment “in the education of undocumented youth.”

“These are young, dedicated, hard-working students who could be part of a more educated and productive work force,” Ms. Alulema said.

But critics are outraged.

The Dream Act “sends the message that there’s no distinction between being here legally or illegally,” said Steve Levy, the former Suffolk County executive and a vocal critic of the state’s immigration policies. “It’s hard enough that the government doesn’t enforce its borders, but now taxpayers would be subsidizing the undocumented residents.”

State Senator Adriano Espaillat, a Democrat from Washington Heights who is a sponsor of a version of the Dream Act, said he was hoping for “the political muscle of the governor” to get the measure passed.

“I haven’t heard him individually, voluntarily speak up on it,” Mr. Espaillat added. “That’s a concern, yes.”

Some advocates are optimistic that Mr. Cuomo will ultimately support the tuition measures, especially given his past support for immigrants.

“My instinct is, when the moment does come and he needs to come out, he will,” said Javier H. Valdés, the deputy director of Make the Road New York, an organization that has supported the proposal.

Advocates for the legislation also argue that Republicans should back the measure, as the population of immigrants in some Republican districts rises. Several conservative pockets of the state, mostly on Long Island and in Westchester County, have growing Latino and immigrant populations.

“This is not a constituency that is just in Washington Heights or a constituency that is just in traditional communities of color,” said Bill Perkins, a Democratic senator from Harlem who is sponsoring a version of the Dream Act. “I think it offers those who might be Republicans the opportunity to bring something home to their base of support.”

Democrats are looking for support particularly from two freshman Republican senators from Long Island, Lee M. Zeldin and Jack M. Martins.

Mr. Zeldin, whose district is more than a quarter Hispanic, said he was keeping an open mind about the proposal but had questions about whether it would help some students at the expense of others. He said the government could also help immigrants by addressing areas like education, gang violence, foreclosures and property taxes.

“The fact is there are several issues we also are paying attention to,” Mr. Zeldin said. “I don’t see any one issue being an end-all, be-all to fix that community’s problems.”

Mr. Martins, whose district is 13.8 percent Hispanic, said he wanted to make sure the Dream Act was directed at immigrants who arrived as children.

“The issue is far more prevalent and far more important,” he said, “when you’re dealing with younger children who’ve come to this country and are here for 10, 15 years and are literally as American as anyone else.”

Suffolk County Cites Emergency in Finances

Suffolk County Cites Emergency in Finances
By MARY WILLIAMS WALSH

Published: March 6, 2012
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/07/nyregion/suffolk-county-executive-declares-a-financial-emergency.html?src=tp


Suffolk may be one of the richest counties in America, but it risks running out of money next month, its top elected official said Tuesday.

“This is, without question, the worst fiscal crisis in the history of the county,” said Steven Bellone, the Suffolk County executive, who declared a financial emergency on Tuesday after receiving a report on the county’s finances by an outside panel of experts.

“It’s the first time in more than two decades that we’ll be ending the fiscal year in a deficit,” he said. The county last ended a year in deficit in 1991, when it also declared a financial emergency.

The emergency declaration gives the county the power to withhold 10 percent of the money allotted to each department of government. It does not involve establishing a fiscal control board, which would require state legislation.

“The numbers are in the area where control boards have been put in place” in other counties, Mr. Bellone said. “But we’re going to work very hard to avoid that.”

Suffolk County’s more affluent next-door neighbor, Nassau County, has had a control board since 2000, whose dealings with the county have been rocky. The board seized control of Nassau’s finances in January 2011, saying the county had failed to balance its $2.7 billion budget. The Nassau County executive, Edward P. Mangano, sued, accusing the board of overreaching and treating the county unfairly because he is a Republican. A court dismissed most of Mr. Mangano’s complaints.

Mr. Bellone said he had been shocked to learn that Suffolk County faced a deficit this year, because just two months ago it had reported a balanced budget. The new independent report said the deficit would grow sharply next year unless the county took action.

Mr. Bellone said he would leave it to others to determine whether anyone had falsified county records to hide the deficit now coming into view. The county’s audited financial statement for 2011 is expected in a few weeks.

In the meantime, he said, the county laid off 12 lawyers so it could hire financial officials who will look for ways of delivering county services more efficiently.

Mr. Bellone, who was elected last November, said he sought an outside financial review in January because he wanted to know how bad the county’s problems were. The seven-member task force found that Suffolk County’s expenses had been rising every year, in particular because residents required more public services during recessions.

At the same time, revenues have not kept up. Suffolk County gets 45 percent of its revenue from sales taxes, and those dived in 2008 and have not yet climbed all the way back. An additional 22 percent of the county’s revenue comes from real estate taxes, which were hurt after the housing bubble burst.

To close the gap, the county has been drawing down reserves for the last few years. Now its “rainy day” money is almost gone, and it cannot increase property taxes to solve its problems because New York State has capped property tax increases.

The county has resorted to issuing various types of short-term debt to finance day-to-day operations. That is a tool that New York City used in 1974 in its unsuccessful attempts to stave off the fiscal crisis of 1975.

“I don’t necessarily say that this is like New York City, but I think it’s clear that the county is facing financial challenges,” said Geordie Thompson, a vice president and senior credit analyst at Moody’s Investors Service.

Moody’s took the unusual step of downgrading Suffolk County’s short-term debt in December, and it has put the county’s general-obligation bonds on review for a possible downgrade.

“Everybody always thought Suffolk County was doing O.K.,” Mr. Bellone said. “It turns out that was not accurate at all. In fact, Suffolk County has got a real crisis on its hands.”

County Executive Bellone Responds to Fiscal Task Force by Declaring Fiscal Emergency
Independent Panel Cites Deficit of $530 Million Over 3-Year Period

The following is a statement from Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone reacting to the report from the independent Fiscal Task Force announcing Suffolk County has a 3-year deficit of $530 million. The report was announced today at a panel of the Suffolk County Legislature Committee on Budget and Finance.

“Today is a very important day for Suffolk County residents because today we learn the facts about our County's fiscal situation. After weeks of analyzing our County's finances, our fiscal assumptions and our costs we now have a picture of the real state of our finances. And the truth is worse than any of us could have imagined.

“After being told the 2011 budget was balanced, I was stunned to learn it was actually out of balance by more than $33 million, the first time Suffolk County ended a year in deficit in 20 years. Now we now that the picture is even worse going forward, a projected $148 million deficit for 2012, rising to $349 million by 2013.

“It is not pleasant, but it is reality. There are two ways to deal with reality, you can embrace it or you can deny it. I choose to embrace reality and build Suffolk County's finances on an honest foundation.

“This afternoon, I will formally declare a fiscal emergency in Suffolk County under authority granted to me by the County Charter. This will give me the ability to immediately embargo up to 10% of the funds in each Department's budget. Tomorrow, I will be meeting with our countywide elected officials and the leaders of our public sector unions to begin the process of addressing this shortfall. I

“In the coming days and weeks I will be working with elected officials at all levels of government including the Legislature on a mitigation plan to put this County back on a fiscally sustainable path. This process will not be easy, it will undoubtedly require difficult and painful steps. But I am confident that by engaging the public with the facts, by choosing the path of cooperation over the path of blame, by including our workforce in the solution and by working together, we will emerge stronger, and remind people why this is a great community to live, work, and build a business.

” I want to thank Comptroller Joe Sawicki, Treasurer Angie Carpenter, Legislative Budget Review Office and the Executive Budget Office for working together and providing the members of our Fiscal Task Force the data they needed to compile this report.

“We all owe a debt of gratitude to the members of the Task Force for providing an independent, expert analysis of the fiscal condition of our County. These seven financial experts did not receive one dime of compensation for their efforts, they volunteered countless hours in the best traditions of public service and wanting to see this County succeed.”

The Task Force was comprised of:

• Chairman Richard Halverson of Hampton Bays is a Former Assistant Deputy Director of the New York City Financial Control Board and served as Deputy Comptroller of the City of New York.

• Michael Solomon of Oceanside is a Managing Director in the Public Finance Department at Ramirez & Co, one of the nation’s oldest minority owned investment banking firms. Mr. Solomon has over 25 years of experience working with state and local governments in developing successful capital finance, debt management, budget and credit rating strategies.

• Charles K. Stein of Coram, has served as a Suffolk County Deputy County Executive for Finance and has over 40 years of financial management experience including serving as Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs at Suffolk County Community College.

• Edward W. Moneypenny of Southampton is a Former Chief Financial Officer at 7-Eleven, Inc. and also served in that capacity at two Fortune 500 Companies. He also currently serves on the audit committee for several major corporations.

• Stuart Klein of Rockville Centre has over 35 years of experience in governmental budgeting and financial reporting. He recently retired from New York City’s Office of Management and Budget where he served as the first deputy director for 16 years. He is currently a consultant to the Citizens Budget Commission.

• Nathan Leventhal of Westhampton is a Former Deputy Mayor of New York City, Director of Dreyfus Mutual Funds and served as the President of Lincoln Center for 16 years.

• Steven Newman of Douglaston, currently serves as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Public Health Solutions. For more than 20 years he served in the New York City Comptroller’s Office as First Deputy Comptroller and Chief of Staff in two administrations.

Durante el evento también fueron galardonados Luis Montes Amaya, Asistente Adjunto del ejecutivo del Condado de Suffolk y el Cónsul General de El Salvador, Dagoberto Torres quienes recibieron reconocimientos por su apoyo a la organización de ex militares salvadoreños.

Al evento asistieron más de 250 personas que colmaron las instalaciones del Hotel Holiday Inn ubicado en Veterans Memorial Highway, lugar dónde se celebró el evento conmemorativo.

ASVEM NY es una organización cívica humanitaria que apoya a los veteranos militares salvadoreños, así como a la gran comunidad de ese país centroamericano que reside en Long Island, concentrándose buena parte de ellos en el Distrito jurisdiccional del Asambleísta Ramos.

Los militares salvadoreños participaron conjuntamente con el ejército estadounidense en las operaciones de reconstrucción de Irak, siendo ambos los únicos ejércitos Americanos que estuvieron más de 5 años en dicha operación para llevar la democracia a ese país.

El capital Morejón, manifestó que el reconocimiento al Asambleísta Ramos “es una muestra de nuestra gratitud por su permanente apoyo a nuestra asociación y a toda la comunidad salvadoreña”, concluyó el presidente de ASVEM NY
