TWO SUMMERS AGO, I participated in an investigative project for Documented, the New York City-based immigration news site, which had reporters observe the federal immigra tion courts in Manhattan every day for three months. In each of these administrative hear ings, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security lawyer presided as judge and another one of the agency’s attorneys represented the government. Migrants, often without a lawyer, appeared to answer why they should be allowed to stay in the U.S. Case after case, I heard names called for migrants who were no-shows.

Catholic Charities and other nonprofits that work with migrants last week reported receiving hundreds of improperly addressed asylum hearing notices and without explana tion, as the city has seen an influx of migrants, including those that have been bused from Texas by Gov. Greg Abbott, who is protesting President Joe Biden’s immigration policies. If the notices turn out to be for these recent arrivals, their chances for deportation may have increased. If New York City is going to welcome these migrants with open arms, then it needs to ensure they are given their due process for seeking asylum. Otherwise, the perilous trek they made to the U.S. may have been in vain.

3August 22, 2022 City & State New York EDITOR’S NOTE

The government, according to immigration lawyers, will send asylum hearing notices to the addresses migrants gave upon their initial intake with immigration officials, but often those addresses were temporary or no longer good by the time the notifications arrived. When the hearing date comes and a migrant fails to show, the government can start deportation proceedings without the migrant even knowing it. They essentially could lose their day in court, all due to a lack of a follow-up.

– Rep. Carolyn Maloney on former President Donald Trump’s surprise – and unwelcome – endorsement of her candidacy in the 12th Congressional District, via The New York Times

In bizarre posts on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump claimed to have endorsed Rep. Carolyn Maloney in the 12th Congressional District and 10th District candidate Dan Goldman – the man who helped impeach him the first time around. The former president heaped lavish, sarcastic praise on both candidates describ ing Maloney as “kind and wonderful” who will always “support me no matter what I do,” and Goldman as “highly intelligent” and someone who would assist Republicans in defeating “the Radical Left Demo crats.” While many in the political world recognized the endorsements as Trump’s attempt to get back at two of his foes, candidates Yuh-Line Niou, Jo Anne Simon, Mondaire Jones pounced. The former president’s endorsement wasn’t the only one that got “The district needs more than a one-note Daddy Warbucks in Congress.” “ Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll pass.” – New York City Council Member Carlina Rivera on her 10th Congressional District opponent Dan Goldman, via the Daily News people talking: The New York Times released its long-awaited congressio nal endorsements about a week ago, spurring back lash after selecting three white men – Reps. Sean Patrick Maloney and Jerry Nadler, and Goldman. New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams endorsed Carlina Rivera in the 10th District.

FINAL CAMPAIGN DAYS With the Aug. 23 primary less than a week away, it’s crunch time for candidates in a slew of competitive contests as they make lastditch efforts to sway voters. Early voting began on Aug. 13, though turnout was low so far. Polling showed Nadler had pulled ahead in the 12th District, with 43% of likely Democratic voters. With 24% support, Maloney could face an uphill battle against her colleague. One of the methods she deployed to try and make up some ground was to send nearly 26,000 letters to constituents, which had some ethics experts questioning whether she crossed a line due to a House rule that prohibits members from sending mass

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is starting to double down on demolishing deserted outdoor dining sheds amid the restaurant industry’s post-pandemic recovery.

INSIDE DOPE

Preparing NYC students for the real world

It’s not every day that a mayor puts on a hard hat and drives a sledgehammer into the side of a once-pop ulated structure. Yet in the kind of slightly unusual photo op he seems to relish, New York City Mayor Eric Adams helped knock down an abandoned restaurant shed in Manhattan. He was taking the first swing in a new city initiative to demolish deserted sheds. Outdoor dining has been a COVID-19 pandemic staple over the past two and a half years. The structures have helped struggling restau rants remain open and ensure that thousands of employees could keep their jobs. But as cases have de creased and the restaurant industry has recovered, a citywide debate has re sumed over the longevity of the outdoor dining program. Like many New Yorkers, Ad ams has defended outdoor dining and said it should become a permanent part of city life. It’s the “blight and disorder” at some sheds that the mayor was taking a swing at.

Banks emphasized that leaders in the education space must create an environment where students graduate with a strong post-second ary plan regardless of whether they decide to go to college –where they’ll leave school with the tools and skills they need to get off “mommy and daddy’s payroll.” This, he said, was the department’s “North Star” and a driving theme in the years to come.

“I want young people to have a greater sense of pos sibility for themselves when they go through this K-12 system,” Banks said. “If you come into our schools in kindergarten and stay clear through 12th grade, we’ve spent close to $350,000 per student. The question that you should all be asking is, what’s the return on invest ment? What are the kinds of young people that we ought to be producing? What should we expect as we hand them that diploma and we offer up a hearty congratulations?”

It was a tough decision. But again, with a $160 million deficit visited upon us because of our COVID work, we had to make tough decisions. And my job as a leader is to make tough decisions. As much as I really enjoyed and was proud of the fact that we provided support for the schoolbased clinics, because of our fiscal situation, we had to make that tough decision to exit the schoolbased clinic. If we can one day get to a better fiscal situation, we will be happy to revisit that. So again, this is a tough decision. We understand people are concerned. We’re working with the New York City Board of Education to help them to backfill with DOE personnel. We will help in the vetting of providers who could replace us. So we’re being very cooperative as much as possible to try to make sure that, even though we’re no longer there, somebody is there who can provide some level of service for these school-based clinics.

N ew York’s farmworkers work as hard — or harder — than most New Yorkers, yet they are not entitled to overtime pay after 40 hours worked. This injustice needs to end now — farmworkers deserve the same dignity and respect on the job as other workers in the state, most of whom are already entitled to a 40-hour workweek. Unlike most workers in the Empire State — and the rest of the country — New York’s farmworkers are currently denied overtime pay by New York law until they’ve worked 60 hours a week. This is a shameful relic of Jim Crow-era labor laws that have historically treated farmworkers — the backbone of New York’s agriculture industry — as secondclass workers.

Give Farmworkers the 40‑Hour Workweek now!

Thanks to the efforts of New York’s labor movement, including the RWDSU, farmworkers won historic legislation in 2019 that includes finally giving them the right to organize. Workers at Pindar Vineyards on Long Island made history last year when they joined RWDSU Local 338 and became the first farmworkers in the Empire State to join a union, and others are organizing across New York. But as long as New York’s farmworkers are denied the 40-hour workweek, they are still denied justice and equality. New York has made some progress towards correcting this unfair standard, but unnecessary delay is holding back this progress. This year, the New York State Department of Labor’s Farmworker Overtime Wage Board indicated it would recommend lowering the overtime threshold for farmworkers to 40 hours per week, bringing these workers in line with virtually every other hourly in New York over a ten-year period. And, to address farm owners’ concerns about increased labor costs, a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for farm owners to cover overtime pay over 40 hours was approved in this year’s stateIt’sbudget.been six months since the wage board met; it’s time to make this change a reality, and finally ensure justice and equality for farmworkers in New York. We call on state officials to immediately implement this plan and provide farmworkers with a 40-hour workweek. New Yorkers depend upon these workers every single day, and changing the labor law immediately to bring fairness to the fields where they toil is the right thing to do, both economically and morally. Let this be the last summer New York’s farmworkers are denied the 40-hour workweek.

You have been handling a lot over the past two years with the public health crisis. Could you describe how SUNY Downstate has weathered the COVID-19 pandemic? We performed superbly during COVID, even in an environment where we have more constrained resources than other hospitals and health systems. The problem is the designationCOVID-onlycreated this perception in the minds of our patient base here in Central Brooklyn that we were, and still are, COVID only.So needless to say, because the designation of being COVID only was in some respects, quote-unquote, an unfunded mandate, we find ourselves in a little bit of a fiscal rut. So we’ve been working with state leadership, SUNY leadership, the SUNY board, the Department of Health and the governor’s office to ameliorate the financial challenges that were brought on principally by that almost nine-month period where we were, officially COVID only.

A Q&A with SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University President

UNIVERSITYSCIENCESHEALTHDOWNSTATESUNYIMAGES;ARTPARTNER-IMAGES/GETTY

Troutman, who was appointed to the court by Hochul last year and who would be the first Black woman to serve as chief judge, is a former prosecutor – having worked as an assistant district attorney, assistant U.S. attorney and assistant attorney general before becoming a judge. That’s a deal breaker for the progressive organizations behind the letter.

On Aug. 12, the coalition sent a letter to Hochul laying out a set of criteria for her to consid er when nominating DiFiore’s replacement as chief judge. The letter was spearheaded by the Center for Community Alter natives and co-signed by more than 100 other progressive orga nizations – including such heavy hitters as the state Working Families Party, New York Com munities for Change, Make the Road New York, and the United Auto Workers Region 9A. The letter, which was shared with City & State, calls on Ho chul to nominate “a thought ful, principled lawyer who will safeguard New Yorkers’ rights, bring independence and a demonstrated appreciation for the law’s power to protect the most vulnerable, and defend our democracy in the challeng ing years ahead.” It also sharp ly criticizes DiFiore’s tenure as chief judge and encourages the governor to select someone who will reverse DiFiore’s decisions and administrative policies.

“The DiFiore Court’s con servative turn – most dramati cally displayed in its decision in Harkenrider v. Hochul to give redistricting power to a single Republican trial court judge –has been complemented by in stitutional dysfunction,” the letter states. “Under Chief Judge DiFiore, the Court of Appeals has heard fewer cases than ever before, especially criminal ap peals, and has written fewer and shorter decisions than pre vious courts. Its decisions have harmed workers, immigrants, and tenants, curtailed New Yorkers’ rights, undermined our state’s democratic institu tions, and made it more difficult for the state to protect our nat ural environment. This Court’s priorities have been clear – and they have been clearly wrong for NewTheYork.”letter also makes a clear demand: “The next Chief Judge must not be a former prosecu tor.” That requirement would rule out Shirley Troutman, a cur rent associate judge on the Court of Appeals who is thought to be one of the leading contenders to replace DiFiore as chief judge.

Of the current associate judges on the Court of Appeals, progressives favor Rowan Wil son, a member of the court’s liberal minority known for

T HE SURPRISE res ignation of Chief Judge Janet DiFiore from the Court of Ap peals has set up a tense nomination battle to select her successor. Although the actual nomination will not happen until this fall, a coalition of left-wing groups has begun mobilizing to pressure Gov. Kathy Hochul to nominate a progressive pick who will re verse the Court of Appeal’s drift to the right under DiFiore. Until recently, nominations to New York’s highest court were relatively dull affairs, with lit tle of the political maneuvering or ideological debates that char acterized U.S. Supreme Court nomination fights. That changed in May 2021, when then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo nominated Madeline Singas, the former district attorney for Queens and Nassau County, and an ad hoc coalition of criminal justice reform groups sprung up to urge the State Senate to reject herAlthoughnomination.this “Stop Singas” campaign failed to block Singas’ nomination to the Court of Ap peals, it did succeed in politiciz ing the nomination process. In the end, 10 Democratic senators voted against Singas. As the process to replace Di Fiore begins, this coalition is beginning to organize once again – this time, with backing from some of the state’s largest progressive advocacy groups.

“That’s a bright line that we’ll stand behind,” said Peter Mar tin, Center for Community Al ternatives’ director of judicial accountability and a leading or ganizer behind the letter.

“I will not be engaged until much further down the road,” Hochul said when asked about the chief judge vacancy at a press conference on July 13. “The ju dicial commission will be solic iting applications.

“When we get seven names, they will have relative mer its against each other, and at that time, we will do advocacy around who is acceptable, who is unacceptable, who are our top choices,” he said. “But we’re very far from that.” While the progressive coali tion remains publicly hopeful that Hochul will eventually pick a nominee who fulfills the cri teria laid out in the letter, they have already begun mobilizing senators to vote against a pick they find unacceptable.

“Of the current associate judges, Wilson’s record is the one that most clearly fulfills the criteria laid out in the letter,” Martin said. “His jurisprudence is clear and it represents, strict ly from a jurisprudential stand point, an appreciation in his record that the recent decisions of the Court of Appeals have beenTroutmanharmful.”and Wilson are only two of the possible candi dates to replace DiFiore. Any lawyer in New York state is eli gible to apply for the position of chief judge and applications are open until Aug. 29.

“We are seeking applications from as many highly qualified, accomplished, professionally di verse lawyers – public defend ers, civil rights lawyers, tenant and housing lawyers – and we are confident that there are many very qualified, very cred ible from among that universe of New York lawyers,” he said. Once the application period closes, the Commission on Ju dicial Nomination will begin winnowing down the pool of ap plicants to produce a “shortlist” of seven candidates by the end of November, and Hochul will se lect one of those names to for mally nominate to the position.

At a press conference on July 13, Hochul was asked about the Court of Appeals vacancy and who she might nominate to replace DiFiore. She declined to say, noting that she would have to wait until the commission had made its picks.

“That takes the form of a lot of cash buy ers entering the home space and especial ly a lot of flippers,” Perez said. “So we see really aggressive, high-frequency flipping, where they buy low, sell high. And in re cent years, we’ve seen that accelerating in the Bronx specifically.”

On Aug. 11, New York City Council Member Lincoln Restler introduced a bill that would give nonprofits and community land trusts first dibs on developing publicly owned land. It would be a step toward fostering housing that prioritizes affordability and limits prof its – models like community land trusts and limited-equity co-operatives. Housing ad vocates believe these ideas can be part of the city’s future because they present a way to maintain affordability and prioritize housing as a home, instead of as an investment.

What are models that remove speculation from the equation, that remove that profit? And again we always end up thinking about homeownership op portunities,” Sanchez said.

SPECULATION IN THE BRONX

O VER THE PAST DECADE IN New York City, a housing short age, increased investor activity and quickly rising home pric es have exacerbated the afford able housing crisis. Today, there are almost no apartments with a monthly rent below $1,500 in the city. Housing advocates and policymakers have been pushing the city to invest in different housing models that prioritize affordability overCitywide,profit. homeownership declined 33.6% to 31.9% from 2009 to 2019 and during the same time frame, the medi an sales price of a home nearly doubled to $790,000. Rents have also sharply risen since 2010, increasing faster in the outer boroughs. Rents rose the most in Queens, climbing 30%, followed by 19% in the Bronx. And just last month, the average rent in Manhattan crossed $5,000 a month. “We’re seeing rents at unbelievable new heights. There’s just obviously such a mas sive horrifying housing crisis that it’s clear we need to create a different type of system,” said Elise Goldin, community land trust campaign organizer at the New Economy Project. “I think everyone knows that it’s past the moment to be taking land and hous ing off of the speculative market.”

WESTCHESTERANDNYCHABITAT

The Bronx exemplifies many of the struggles facing New York’s housing system. Cash in vestors competing with families to purchase homes as well as continually rising rents paired with entrenched inequality. Today, 18.9% of Bronxites own a home. The borough is also home to the highest share of low-income renters in the city, making residents more vulnerable to price increases.“Fromthe beginning of the pandemic, the Bronx has been the hardest hit in terms of unemployment numbers,” said Ivy Perez, policy and research manager at the Center for New York City Neighborhoods. “This is also happening in the context of really aggressive speculation.” A 2020 report from the Center for New York City Neighborhoods found that near ly 40% of New York City home, condo and co-op purchases were cash sales. And the Bronx saw the largest increase in cash ac tivity during the previous decade. Since the Bronx is home to a large portion of the city’s remaining lower priced properties, it can be particularly vulnerable to specula tion and investors.

“That one example where you come across a building that is not rent regulated. For some reason, there you have a private equity company coming in purchasing and pushing tenants out. It’s like clockwork, right?” said Sanchez, who also serves as the chair of the New York City Council Housing and Buildings Committee.

“(It) is an incredible tool for commu nities to have a say in the development in their neighborhood and to (ensure) that land is being used for the benefit of the community and (is) affordable in perpetu ity,” Goldin said. Goldin estimated there are about 15 com munity land trusts throughout New York City – and three of them currently have land: Cooper Square Community Land Trust (the oldest one in New York City), Interboro Community Land Trust and East Harlem El Barrio Community Land Trust. Goldin and other advocates are support ing initiatives to help the trusts acquire land, including Restler’s bill to give them the first crack at the development of pub lic land. Another piece of legislation is the city Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, which would give the trusts and other nonprofits the first right to purchase mul tifamily buildings when landlords sell.

“We’reprogram.certainly at the council … look ing at how we can support more on the technical side, how we (can) get more prop erties into this kind of ownership, and how we (can) make sure that what we’re doing is sustainable,” Sanchez said. Ultimately, Sanchez said the fight for more community housing was an import ant part of keeping New York a vibrant city. She pointed to New York’s past suc cesses with Co-op City and the Mitch ell-Lama program as inspiration.

This summer, Adams announced a major new housing plan to turn New York into a “city of yes.” The plan supported a host of items, including increased homeownership and community land trusts but it was criti cized as being vague on measuring success.

Habitat for Humanity’s Dunbar also em phasized tenant opportunities to purchase programs as an important policy tool.

The building, which opened in 2021, was the first development to receive fund ing from the Open Door Program, a New York City initiative designed to boost homeownership among low- to middle-in come households. Sales prices at Sydney House ranged from $188,823 to $326,099, depending on size of the unit.

“There can be no affordable housing policy that is equitable without opportuni ties for people to build equity,” said Matt Dunbar, chief strategy officer and execu tive vice president of Habitat for Humani ty New York City and Westchester County. “And that is both personal equity and fam ily equity, but also community equity. And cooperative ownership with long-term af fordability is the ultimate community eq uity.”Dunbar said the project represented a shift in priorities for the city, pivoting from building affordable rentals to providing more affordable homeownership. Goldin, from the New Economy Project, stressed that community land trusts were not the sole answer to the affordability cri sis, but they were a powerful way to but tress affordability. Land trusts differ from the co-ops in that a nonprofit would own the land and operate the building.

“A strategy to create new home owner ship in the Bronx would be to work with landlords and tenants to sell their build ings to their tenants and create home ownership where people are already liv ing,” Dunbar said.

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

Sanchez, who was a professional urban planner before being elected, said support ing alternative housing models from the city takes investing in technical assistance for nonprofits or community land trusts, increasing access to land acquisition and new financing through New York City’s capital

“Land trusts and limited equity mod els come into the conversation because we have seen, in some cases, wild success of limited equity models,” Sanchez said. “But we haven’t prioritized them as we build our arsenal of tools to approach the affordable housing crisis in New York City.

The challenge On any given night in 2021, more than 326,000 people were reported to be in an emergency shelter, transitional housing or other temporary housing situations, ac cording to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. An underlying cause of homelessness is a shortage of af fordable housing, said Steven Berg, vice president for programs and policy for the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

C OMMUNITIES ARE grappling with how to best assist people experiencing homelessness, in cluding with tiny homes, hotel conversions, rental assistance and supportive services. Some of those methods have proven effective in some parts of the country but have been more difficult to implement in some of the largest cities, including New York City.

In an April report, the National Low In come Housing Coalition found that there was a shortage of 7 million affordable rent al homes for extremely low-income renters.

Berg said that while the problem is dire and there needs to be more housing built, there were effective strategies that could re duce the most immediate and harmful effects of “Thishomelessness.hasbeen many years in the mak ing for many of these cities that just didn’t allow their housing – or didn’t force their housing – supply to keep up with increas ing demand,” Berg said in a recent interview with City & State and Route Fifty. “Home lessness is one result of that and (there are) tools available to resolve it. But people have got to have the patience and the willingness to stick to it over time in order to solve the problem that took that long to get this bad.”

Permanent supportive housing Permanent supportive housing provides low-cost housing in tandem with support ive services, such as health care and coun seling. It’s an effective tool for combating homelessness – especially if it were to be scaled up, according to Berg. Research shows permanent housing is ultimately the most cost-effective approach to addressing homelessness, even in a place like New York City, Berg said.

New York City is using pandemic funding to aid renters and build more affordable housing.

doable and effective but would take increased resources to scale up. And those extra costs can make the programs more difficult to im plement.“High rents are correlated with home lessness everywhere in the country. Places with the most homelessness are the places with the highest rents,” Berg said. “A place like Houston has housing policies that cause rents to be lower. It’s just going to be easier to get homeless people housed than it is in New York City or Los Angeles.”

Using one-time funds Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government has released trillions of dollars in emergency funding. These allo cations were well suited for “rapid rehous ing,” a model that involves short-term rent paired with services, Berg said. Participants are housed and after a few months, once they’re settled and employed, they’ll be ex pected to cover rent themselves without the subsidy.InJuly 2020, Houston announced its Community COVID Housing Program, a $65 million plan coordinated by the city, Harris County and Coalition for the Home less, a local nonprofit that aims to move people experiencing homelessness into per manent housing. That initiative was in part funded by the CARES Act. In addition to offering permanent sup portive housing, the Community COVID Housing Program helped support rapid re housing. Under the plan’s rapid rehousing program, people were expected to be able to support themselves after a 12-month period of rental assistance and light case manage ment. Between Oct. 1, 2020, and July 12, 2022, 3,683 people had been housed under the rapid rehousing program, according to New York City Public JumaaneAdvocateWilliamsspeaksatarallyforhomelesspeoplewhoneedrentalassistanceorpermanenthousing.

According to a 2019 report from Third Door Coalition – a nonprofit alliance of business leaders, service providers and re searchers aiming to end chronic homeless ness in King County – 98% of people who are chronically homeless in the county said they would participate in the program if of fered the opportunity.

CityAndStateNY.com14 August 22, 2022 the Coalition for the Homeless. Several mu nicipalities have gotten creative with their use of COVID-19 relief funds. In Madison, Wisconsin, the city allocated nearly $9 mil lion in American Rescue Plan funds for ad dressing homelessness. Of that, $2 million went toward creating a tiny house village. Denver, meanwhile, approved $3.9 million to expand temporary housing areas – called “safe outdoor spaces”– where people expe riencing homelessness could connect with support services. Noncongregate housing During the pandemic, many communi ties reconsidered the layout of their home less shelters, which often relied on large shared rooms for sleeping, Berg said. But as that became a significant health risk during the pandemic, many places began exploring noncongregate options, such as using hotels as temporary housing. “I think the idea is that shelters need to be designed by talking to homeless people and figuring out what will make the shelter feel like a safe and helpful place to them,” Berg said. “And I think that the noncongregate model often met that objective.” It’s an approach that has been utilized across the country, from Los Angeles to Ver mont. In some communities, the strategy has been successful enough to justify continuing it beyond the pandemic. In 2020, Oregon al located $65 million for Project Turnkey, an initiative that involved purchasing hotels and motels for people experiencing homelessness or who had been displaced by wildfires. In less than a year, Project Turnkey secured 19 properties, resulting in a 20% increase in that state’s supply of shelter beds. In March, the state Legislature allocated another $50 mil lion for Project Turnkey 2.0. How does New York compare? In New York City as homelessness increas es and the red-hot pandemic housing market makes affordable housing even more scarce, policymakers have attacked the problem with varying degrees of success. And unlike in other jurisdictions, residents have a legal right to shelter. When the pandemic began, single adults who were homeless were moved into hotels and noncongregate shelters. But last summer, then-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ended the program after pushback from wealthy neighbors, which disappointed advocates who believed the program showed promise.“Interms of how New York City is doing when it comes to noncongregate options, like hotels and motels, I would say it’s very This convertedOregonMotelformer6inwasintosupportivehousing.

“The eligibility categories for people to use those vouchers as homelessness prevention is relatively narrow,” Simone said, adding that there’s often waiting periods in shelters be fore residents are eligible for aid.

Lawmakers hoped the emergency aid – in addition to a tempo rary eviction moratorium – would help keep residents in their homes. Despite a bumpy start, the program was able to distribute the funds to nearly 190,000 New Yorkers. And the high demand for the program under scored the need for more robust housing aid.

In addition to the emergency aid, Simone noted that both the city and state have hous ing voucher programs for people experienc ing homelessness, but the programs have encountered administrative hurdles.

In an attempt to cut through the red tape, New York City Mayor Eric Adams recent ly eased rules that prevented homeless peo ple outside of the city’s shelter system from accessing aid. Additionally, the mayor has committed to a host of other initiatives to ease homelessness, from accelerating the de livery of 15,000 units of supportive housing to reforming zoning laws and preserving ex isting below-market-rate units.

“It sounds promising, we just need to see the fine print,” Simone said. “I think it’s great that this administration does seem focused on reducing bureaucratic hurdles.

After being sworn in, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Albany.transparencyinwouldadministrationherusheraneweraofin

When Hochul stepped into her new posi tion as the most powerful official in the state, she raised money at a record pace, even by the high standards of Albany and those set by Cuomo, himself a relentless fundrais er. When she took office, Hochul had under $2 million in her campaign account. Now, heading into her first general election for governor in November, she boasts nearly $12 million on hand, even after spending heav ily in the Democratic primary. In the past year, she has raised over nearly $36 million in total, nearly $22 million of which came in just her first five months as governor. “I’ll tell you what, I don’t think I would have been able to do that,” former Gov. David Pater son, who took over when former Gov. Eliot Spitzer resigned in 2008, told City & State.

O NE YEAR AGO this week, Kathy Hochul took a new oath of office, stepping up following several tur bulent months for her predecessor to become New York’s first female governor. After numerous allega tions of sexual harassment, mul tiple investigations and a bombshell report from the attorney general’s office, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo stepped down, allow ing the lieutenant he tried to dump more than once ascend to new heights. And ascend she has, capping off a historic first year with a landslide primary victory and a comfort able lead in general election polling. Prior to Cuomo’s fall from grace, few gave much thought to the second-term lieutenant governor, nor to her political prowess. In 2018, Hochul came unexpectedly close to los ing the second term to New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams despite running alongside Cuomo with his ever-growing war chest. While the governor barely broke a sweat in besting his own progressive oppo nent, Hochul had reason to worry that she would once again fall to a challenger after just a single term, a repeat of her short-lived con gressional career. Hochul finds herself, once again, fight ing for the chance to maintain her seat of power – but this time, she has spent the past year wielding that power to its full extent in practiced displays of political savvy. Hochul owes her successes to a number of factors, in cluding calculated decision making and plain old luck. But perhaps more than anything else, the story of her first year is one told in a series of dollar signs, with a term character ized by copious amounts of cash.

A FUNDRAISING FORCE

The New York Times reported in June that Hochul hoped to increase that number to as high as $70 million before Election Day. Her Republican opponent, Rep. Lee Zeldin, has about $1.6 million on hand in his gubernato rial campaign account.

The exact number of fundraisers Hochul has held since taking office is not public ly known – the schedules her office releases

Hochul easily outraised Cuomo during the same period prior to the 2018 Democrat ic primary for governor, which took place in September rather than in June like it did this year. In the roughly comparable yearlong pe riod, Cuomo raised just under $13 million. The over $31 million the ex-governor had on hand at one point remains an unbeaten sum, but even he has never brought in cash at the rate Hochul has managed in just one year. She seamlessly stepped into the financial arena where Cuomo once reigned supreme, successfully winning over the donor class that had long helped to ensure her prede cessor could outspend any opponent tens of times over. “She easily dispatched her chal lengers in the Democratic primary, and she has defied expectations regarding her fund raising,” Jake Dilemani, a Democratic con sultant with Mercury Public Affairs, told City & State. “Hochul’s successes show the power of (her) office coupled with her savvy.”

GOVERNORTHEOFCOUGHLIN/OFFICEP.KEVIN

Budgets offer a gauge of most governor’s suc cess in a year in New York, due mostly to the amount of power and influence they have over the process. Unlike the rest of the year, the governor can take the lead in driving policy as part of the spending plan, which in recent years has included legislation that has very little to do with finances. Particularly under Cuomo, the governor’s executive bud get often included the most important parts of their agenda so they can dictate the terms

governor, thanks in part to her own reli ance on lobbyists to help raise campaign cash. But those critiques long predate Ho chul in both Albany and American politics at large, with the problem of money in poli tics one of the oldest unanswered questions plaguing public officials. And the criticisms levied against Hochul have not slowed her fundraising pace, nor affected her ability to dwarf her competitors’ spending in the June primary. Nor have they hindered her offi cial government efforts in the state Capitol.

signs.ofinisfirststoryelse,anythingmorePerhapsthantheofheryearonetoldaseriesdollar don’t specify what kind of campaign events she attended, simply that they were “pri vate.” But through March, Hochul’s sched ules indicate that she has had 437 “private events” so far, often back to back with each other. While those include meetings with do nors, campaign supporters or staff that don’t directly result in money changing hands, the number is a testament to Hochul’s dedication to the politics of her position and helps ex plain her success in bringing in big bucks. Hochul’s incredible fundraising hauls have not come without their share of scru tiny. Her top donors are a who’s who of in terests before the state in industries ranging from real estate to gambling. A wealthy supporter who hosted a fundraiser for the governor won a lucrative state contract, giv ing at the very least the appearance of payto-play politics. The state Department of Health, which awarded the contract, told the Times Union that Hochul had no in volvement in the bidding process. More broadly, the outlet has also reported on the level of access that top donors have to the

BIG BUDGET BUCKS

under which they will pass. After that April budget deadline, lawmakers take back the lead of the legislative process. Hochul is no different, the budget process offering her first real test as governor after a five-month honeymoon before the 2022 legislative session began. Like Cuomo, she presented a packed agenda that she hoped to accomplish as part of the budget, as well as big plans for spending. On the latter, Hochul succeeded. The $220 billion bud get was the largest in state history, larger than the $216.3 billion she had initially pro posed in January, itself already greater than the record $212 billion plan approved last year. That spending included major Hochul talking points like $7 billion for expand ed child care and $31.5 billion in school aid.

The $600 million to finance a new Buffalo Bills stadium hardly broke the bank when dealing with such large numbers, but those dollar bills proved among the most contro versial of Hochul’s time in office.

In one of two ways she decided to flex her executive power during the particu larly opaque budget negotiations, Hochul surprised New Yorkers and lawmakers alike when she announced a billion-dol lar deal to build a new football stadium for her hometown team. The state, she said, would foot $600 million, local gov ernments $250 million and the fracking billionaire owners of the Bills, who were threatening to leave New York, the rest of the costs. It caught legislative leaders and their members off guard, angering some, but they approved it nonetheless as part of the larger budget. In the same process, Ho chul also managed to settle a five-year fi nancial dispute between the state and the Seneca Nation over casino proceeds. After the state froze the Seneca’s bank accounts, those used for official municipal purposes, Seneca leaders agreed to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in slot machine revenue. They had maintained the state had no right to even after court rulings. Hochul then said she would use those funds to cover much of the state’s share of the stadium.

HOCHULKATHYGOV.OFGROLL/OFFICEMIKEICON/POPULOUS;CAA

The combination of surprise and hardball tactics have served Hochul well during her year in office, even as she continued to es pouse her niceties about a healthier working relationship between herself and her part ners in government. “This first year, I think everyone, every player, knew exactly how to sort of manage these relationships very, very well,” Basil Smikle, former chair of the state Democratic Party, told City & State. “So she used a strongarm when she needed to, she was more warm and welcoming when she had to be.” Hochul employed the same ethos to her other big budget accomplishment: bail reform tweaks. Although Hochul did not get everything she wanted when she struck a final deal with lawmakers after coming in from a comparatively much weaker position than Cuomo in the years before his fall, she held strong on her last-minute bail chang es. She introduced them late in the negotiat ing process, throwing legislative leaders for a loop when the proposal got leaked to the press before they ever got wind of it and re fused to pass the budget unless the changes made it in. It forced the hands of state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, who had repeatedly said they had no appetite to revisit the issue of bail again. But if they wanted the money to flow, Hochul proved they needed to play ball with her. “She’s an impatient governor … because she wants to get things done,” Paterson told City & State. “She will stick her nose in and take responsibility for it.” Although her tactics have left many observers wanting when it comes to her promised government trans parency, Hochul has managed not only to masterfully brush aside potentially di sastrous situations, but even to turn some around in her favor.

In her first few months in office, Hochul invoked her Catholic faith fairly frequently.

At this point in the election cycle, luck came in to help Hochul even further. Na tional political observers expected the 2022 midterms to deal a blow to Democrats, and New York certainly would not be immune. But the Democratic base was reengaged on the issues of gun control and abortion after a racist mass shooting in Buffalo left 10 dead and federal protections for abortion under Roe v. Wade were stripped away. Just as she wasted no time fundraising, Hochul imme diately took the opportunities to cast her self as a leader on hot-button national issues.

not kicked in. The budget debacle with the Bills stadium and bail – though ultimately both victories – was soon forgotten in favor of a much bigger story. Less than a week after the budget passed, her former lieutenant governor resigned after his indictment and arrest on corruption charges. Brian Benja min maintained his innocence, but said at the time his legal woes would interfere with his governmental responsibilities. That left Hochul looking like a fool for tapping some one with a questionable ethical background (Media outlets had reported the allegations in questions well before Cuomo had even re signed.) and without a running mate as the June primary loomed. Her honeymoon had long since soured. But even that scandal couldn’t stick to Ho chul after she pushed lawmakers to approve a new bill that would permit Benjamin to re move himself from the ballot and her to get a new running mate. She achieved that with out even giving up any leverage – at least it appeared that way publicly. With Benjamin gone and Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado replacing him, Hochul’s wayward No. 2 quickly exit ed the collective consciousness of New York. So late in the election cycle, Delgado had only a month to shift his campaign from a reelec tion in a largely rural Hudson Valley con gressional district to a statewide race against two other candidates. He came in with little if any name recognition outside his district and just a handful of days left to introduce himself to Democrats across the state. But unlike his opponents, Delgado had a secret weapon: Hochul and her fundraising appa ratus. After transferring roughly $2 million from his existing campaign account, Delga do managed to raise millions more, which he promptly spent on ads that flooded the air waves with his name and likeness. Like Ho chul, he trounced his two opponents despite the hyper-streamlined campaign. And the governor managed to avoid another potential headache of an antagonistic running mate for November thanks in no small part to the cash at her fingertips. “She’s one of these individuals who will throw themselves, or sometimes get thrown into, difficult situ ations but seems to have a plan,” Paterson said. “And her plans so far have worked.”

“She is acutely aware of the power of the of fice, the influence of the governorship of the state of New York,” Smikle said, referenc ing the way Cuomo used his position to his benefit during the height of the pandemic to become a national figure. “The moment was just the window that she had to make an im pression not just on New Yorkers, but on the rest of the country.” ■

Lobbyists navigate a more civil Albany landscape under Gov. Kathy Hochul. By MurphyTim SCREAMINGANDKICKINGLESS

F OR A DECADE, and until only about a year ago, lobbyists, advo cates, consultants and other Alba ny influence peddlers all feared one thing: the wrath of then-Gov. An drew Cuomo and his inner circle of enforcers, such as Melissa DeRosa, Larry Schwartz and Alphonso David. Deal ing with Cuomo’s inner circle was never pleasant, according to lobbyists, but cross them and they’d lash out. In the past year with Gov. Kathy Hochul, they said that’s changed. “It’s obviously an enormously different de meanor and culture with the new adminis tration,” said Mike Elmendorf, president and CEO of the Associated General Contractors of New York State. “I haven’t been screamed at yet, and I don’t know anyone who has been, so that’s a marked improvement.”

Now, he added, “You can have conversations with people (in the governor’s office) without them becoming irate if you offer a different perspective as you defend the interest of your client or industry. And that’s certainly a wel comeCitychange.”&State reached out to more than a dozen lobbyists and advocates represent ing diverse, and often opposing, interests to ask about how their jobs have changed in the past year or so. Some of them declined to speak, and some only did so on background, but among those who spoke publicly, a clear picture emerged: Dealing with the Second Floor, which houses the executive offices, is now a lot less nerve-wracking.

Saima Anjam, senior vice president at The Parkside Group said, “There’s a new col laborative approach in dealing with stake holders and it’s been a refreshing change.” Before, she said, “There was this balance of, how pushy can we be before we blow up all of our Somework?”ofthis change seemed to be attribut ed to the respective personalities of Cuomo and Hochul. “Andrew was a tornado, an absolute force of nature,” said David Wein raub, who heads Brown & Weinraub, the state’s highest-grossing lobbying firm. “He was very involved in every single aspect of things, especially media coverage. He spent an inordinate amount of time with journal ists and was super aggressive. And on many occasions, you could be talking to his staff but know that their questions and subtleties were coming from him.”

“The Hochul administration is by and large more civil and polite than Cuomo’s,” said longtime lobbyist Jim Featherstonhaugh of the law firm Featherstonhaugh, Wiley & Cline. “But that’s partly because it’s a new administration, which tends to be less cyni cal and more open to not only talking but lis tening to people.”

Hochul, on the other hand, Weinraub said, “In my view (she) is not as focused on her image and how it plays in swing states.

Andrew was national this, national that. Kathy, for now, just wants to succeed, and she’s more concerned about what the Albany Times Union and The New York Times are going to think than the Los Angeles Times.”

Lobbyists said the Hochul administration has been a breath of fresh air in Albany.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo surrounded himself enforcers,withwho would be direct when he didn’t like an idea.

He added, “But Cuomo had to be dragged kicking and screaming into doing anything (to ameliorate inequality), and never until an issue had an 85% to 90% approval rating. Hochul seems a little bit more humane – and her people aren’t complete and total jerks.”

– David Weinraub, Brown & Weinraub co-founder and managingonpartner,Cuomo

“I see that the governor and her team have more trust in whom they’re working with at the agencies,” Anjam said. Elmen dorf largely agreed: “The folks in the agen cies have been given more latitude to do their jobs without the obsessive level of mi cromanagement, which was the hallmark of the prior administration.” That latitude, Iwanowicz said, “indicates someone who has faith and trust in their agen cy heads, which didn’t exist with Cuomo.”

Of course, all this new ease of communi cations with Albany’s executive branch ex ists in tandem with lobbyists navigating a slightly more long-standing yet still newish relationship with the Legislature, which has seen an incredible influx of first-term law makers in recent years.

Many lobbyists said that whereas once they tried to get their first win in the Assem bly and then tried to crack the nut of the state Senate, it was often the reverse today – work with state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins to pass legislation there, then hunker down for the harder ask to As sembly Speaker Carl Heastie. Despite those shifts, nearly everyone said the absence of Cuomo’s overbearing presence had facilitated a lot of new possibilities.

It’s ironic, he added, that Zoom lobbying –something that began as a stopgap during COVID-19, and initially felt less than ideal –evolved into an efficient new tool for con necting with all those new faces. “In a lot of ways, we have a more focused conversation when we’re all working from home than we would in their office, where they get pulled out of the meeting by something else.”

“Cuomo took up a lot of space and energy,” Weinraub said. “If Cuomo liked your idea, it was great for you, and if he was against it, you were dead. So now, there’s more of an oppor tunity to work an issue.”

August 22, 2022

Of course, Hochul has basically been in campaign mode since she stepped into Cuomo’s shoes in August 2021. “We’re in an election cycle,” Elmendorf said. “We may not see what this administration is re ally going to be like until after the political dust settles.” (Polls generally show Hochul comfortably leading her Republican rival, Rep. Lee Zeldin.) “At this point, the ad ministration has been careful not to really upsetDespiteanybody.”that, some lobbyists – perhaps especially liberal and progressive ones –sense more good faith from Hochul than they ever did from her predecessor. “Cuomo fought for big corporations and the su per-rich, and so does Hochul,” said Michael Kink, who leads the anti-inequality group Strong Economy for All coalition. “Look at her campaign finance filings, and you’ll see that she quickly consolidated the massive support of the business class and the lobby ists who work for them.”

Peter Iwanowicz, executive director of En vironmental Advocates NY, said, “When it comes to the environment, Gov. Hochul seems to me (to be) someone who actually wants to do the right thing. The past admin istration did some things right on the envi ronment, but it always felt like Cuomo had to do it for political purposes. Hochul has al lowed her administration to call their balls and strikes fairly on a number of projects, looking at the science, like on power plants proposed in the Hudson Valley.” Which leads to another point: Many lob byists said substantive communication was possible again with heads of key state agen cies like housing and health – a marked contrast from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when Cuomo seemed to consoli date pandemic decision-making and messag ing within his own office, with himself as the star of a daily TV briefing.

“It’s a different animal altogether, the amount of new faces and turnover over the last several election cycles,” Elmendorf said. “Before COVID, you’d walk around and know every name on every door, and now I say, ‘Who’s that?,’ which brings both chal lenges and opportunities. Once, you could divine better (where people would fall on something), but now there’s a lot of new, younger players in both (the state Senate and Assembly Democratic) majorities.”

OSPITALS SHAPING THE response to the coronavirus pandemic. Casino companies pushing for a lucrative expansion into the New York City area. Real estate developers seeking to move forward with major land use projects. What these efforts – and countless others – have in common is that they’re driven at least in part by well-connected and wellinformed lobbyists in Albany and elsewhere across the state. And lobbying activity is on the rise again in New York, with a whopping $292.87 million reported in 2021 alone.

City & State’s annual top lobbyists list highlights the government affairs firms that are bringing in the largest share of that pot. The figures are based on an analysis of compensation figures reported to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, the state body since rebooted as the state Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government. The list omits other income, such as communications and campaign consulting or federal lobbying income, and excludes entities – such as the Greater New York Hospital Association – that lobby on their own behalf. We also combined lobbying entities that are part of the same corporate family. We then reached out to each firm to identify key industries and clients, and to share the biggest accomplishment and any other notable updates from the past calendar year.

BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT: This year’s legislative session was hugely successful for many of our clients, but our biggest success was clearly the passage of the Grieving Families Act. This bill reforms New York’s 175year old Wrongful Death law, which limits damages when someone dies solely to economic losses and not the grief of survivors. Current law devalues the lives of people who are likely to be underpaid due to other inequities in society by valuing lives solely based on how much money a victim earns. Through direct lobbying, earned media and advertising, we led the effort to pass legislation to correct this inequity.

THE BEST OF THE REST ADRIENNE ADAMS

PICKOUR LOSERS

It may be odd to see former Gov. Andrew Cuomo on the winner’s list, but here we are. The judge in his lawsuit against the state’s former ethics agency ruled in his favor, which means the ex-gov no longer has to pay back $5.1 million from his pandemic book deal. This could change under the new state ethics agency, but Cuomo now has more time to find a job.

The NYPD is coming for the weed trucks. The department seized 20 vendors on wheels, cheekily tweeting that they won’t be open for business “anytime soon!” because despite legalization nearly a year ago, permits to sell marijuana have still not gone out in New York. The removal of the trucks was potentially good news for people who actually wanted to get high though, since Weed World’s owner claimed to the Daily News: “We don’t sell real weed. We never have.”

Despite Mayor Eric Adams receiving props from the president’s spokesperson for signing into law a package of bills to protect abortion access, those bills came from the first majority-female City Council – a fact Speaker Adrienne Adams didn’t hesitate to point out.

For a congressional candidate in a high-profile race like state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, losing a coveted endorsement from The New York Times might have kicked off a bad week all on its own, but then came accusations of ageism and a string of negative press, including a Politico article that highlighted her alleged mistreatment of staff. While Biaggi indicated she was undeterred, the events made her run more difficult.

The Gray Lady went gold, man. The New York Times was the most sought-after endorsement in the 10th Congressional District, and the former prosecutor got it. Goldman also got the least sought-after en dorsement, in the form of a Donald Trump social media post – self-con gratulatory and dripping with sarcasm. But Goldman is trusting that voters know better.

THE REST OF THE WORST JOHN FLANAGAN Political “housekeeping” accounts can spend their money on certain things, but the state elections enforcement counsel said state Senate Republicans went too far under then-leader John Flanagan in 2016 by spending housekeeping funds on campaign mailers. The GOP settled for a $200,000 fine.

ALLEN WEISSELBERG It’s never good to have to admit guilt for 15 felonies, but in the former Trump CFO’s case, the plea deal he took with the Manhattan DA’s office was expected to significantly reduce his potential jail sentence.
