BUSINESSES THRIVE WHEN OUR COMMUNITIES THRIVE Dear Governor Hochul and Members of the New York State Senate and Assembly,

investment; it’s clear that that tactic is no longer successful, and the state needs to put its money where its mouth is.

As businesses, we were gratified when New York State passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) in 2019.

The CLCPA provides a road map for our state to reach a renewable energy economy, which will not only combat the devastation and unpredictability of the climate crisis but will lead to greater economic opportunity for New Yorkers as the state creates green jobs and invests in frontline communities.

Thriving communities for businesses to flourish: Thriving communities are good for business. According to the investment plan laid out by NY Renews, in addition to funding renewable energy investments, the $15 billion fund will also go towards improving public transit, public housing, and public schools, all necessary infrastructure for communities to succeed. Additional funding will go towards community-based organizations in neighborhoods most impacted by pollution and the climate crisis to fund local projects that increase our renewable energy supply, make homes and buildings more efficient, and increase resilience to climate change. A significant portion of this funding will go to low-income communities of color, which have received historically inadequate investments from the state and are most vulnerable to pollution and climate change. All of these investments will help New York communities thrive.

In recent years, however, we’ve become concerned that the CLCPA has not been funded. It’s clear that New York needs significant and consistent funding allocations to meet the goals of the CLCPA and realize the benefits of the law for New Yorkers. By allowing the law to remain an unfunded mandate, Albany will create an unstable situation for businesses and leave significant economic benefits on the table.

EAST ISLIP - SOUTH BAY’S NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 9, 2022 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

This is why we strongly encourage you to allocate, at minimum, $15 billion in climate, jobs, and justice funding in this year’s New York State budget. These funds will benefit businesses and the communities which we serve in a multitude of ways:

It’s clear that this $15 billion investment makes good business sense for New York. We strongly encourage the governor and legislature to include this funding in this year’s New York State budget.

Stable investments in building a renewable energy economy: Under the CLCPA, New York must run on 100% renewable electricity by 2040, and our entire economy must be carbon-neutral by 2050. We have made pitiful progress: just 31% of our electric generation comes from renewable sources, and since 2019, we have reduced our economy-wide emissions by only 6%. Moreover, New York currently sends over $30 billion out of state every year to purchase fossil fuels.

This lack of progress is concerning for businesses: we want to be able to count on a consistent energy transition along with — or faster than — the timeline outlined in the CLCPA. We need to know that the laws of our state will be followed. New York has had three years to try to meet its own timelines without significantly increasing financial

Creating jobs and increasing spending power: Investing $15 billion yearly in climate, jobs, and justice will create and sustain 150,000 good-paying jobs over the next decade. Creating stable jobs in renewable energy, building efficiency, public transit, and supportive industries will grow New York’s economy and increase spending power. This is good for New Yorkers, and it’s good for business. New York has the opportunity to be a business leader in renewable energy specifically, creating these jobs here in our state rather than allowing other states to overtake us in this critical and growing market. All jobs created — in renewable energy and otherwise — are good news for New York.

Putting money back into the pockets of working New Yorkers: Included in this $15 billion investment are direct grants, vouchers, and cash payments to working New Yorkers, increasing their spending power and creating breathing room for families. These funds include: grants to homeowners to make their buildings more energy-efficient (for example, through weatherization or installing heat pumps), transit vouchers for NYC residents and other residents of urban areas to encourage the use of subway and bus ridership, and LIHEAP credits to lessen the cost of heat during cold winter months. These payments will ensure working New Yorkers will have more spending power and more breathing room, which is good for business and good for our state.

Easy Ways To Support The Troops (StatePoint) How do you thank someone who’s willing to risk their life for yours? When it comes to military service members and their families, advocates say there are

many avenues for tangibly showing your support.

Check out these easy ideas from the USO. • Give back: Use the USO Wishbook, an alternative giving catalog that offers

PHOTO SOURCE: (c) USO Photos

military supporters a way to send a heartfelt symbolic gift to a loved one while directly benefitting troops and their families.

Visit usowishbook.uso. org to learn how your symbolic gifts can help bring comfort to troops and their families.

• Spread the word: Social media platforms and word-of-mouth are integral to the success of nonprofits, and the USO is no different. Giving them a shoutout, sharing their content or even starting a fundraiser for the USO via Facebook, helps spread the word about the organization’s mission and encourages others to

support the cause. Visit uso.org/stories to read more about what the USO is doing to keep troops connected to family, home and country this holiday season. You can also find the USO on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. • Play: Are you a gamer? Through streams and other fundraising events, the USO’s Gaming program has helped keep service members connected to family and friends. You can raise money for the USO via the Operation Play it Forward campaign on Tiltify. And join the USO Discord at discord.gg/TheUSO.

• Ride: Whenever you use the ride share app Lyft, you can opt in for their Round Up & Donate program. This setting automatically rounds your payment up to the nearest dollar, and the difference is donated to the nonprofit of your choice. Consider selecting the USO to automatically support the organization as you get around town.

• Connect: Boost the morale of military members and make them smile through Campaign to Connect, which makes it easy to send messages of thanks to service members. Kind words can go a long way.

• Shop: Online shopping? You can give back every time you shop on Amazon by shopping via AmazonSmile. Visit smile. amazon.com, login, select the USO as your charity, and 0.5% of your eligible purchases will be donated to the organization.

To learn more about other ways you can help deliver care, comfort and connection to troops, visit uso.org/holidays and uso. org/donate.

While giving thanks is always appreciated, there are also many tangible ways you can help make a difference in the lives of service members.

Robotic Team Competes At “Tipping Point” East Islip High School’s robotics team traveled to Freeport High School to compete in one of this year’s VEX VRC “Tipping Point” competitions, finishing in the top seven and nearly unseating two highly ranked teams in what would be their last match of the day.

All year long, East Islip’s robotics students have been designing and

creating competition robots in their respective Robotics I and II courses as well as in the Robotics Club. Their designs and concepts culminated in the creation of a competition robot that was ready for battle.

Several group members contributed heavily to the team’s success: Team leader Zoe Elder, top driver Sebastian Gebhard, pit

crew chief Louis Attard, team scout leader Anthony Ognibene and quality control expert Kaitlin McCall helped guide their team throughout the day.

Additionally, members of the U.S. Army’s Bay Shore recruiting office sponsored the team’s competition shirts, and Sgt. 1st Class David Nhan and Staff Sgt. Mathew Petiprin attended the competition to cheer

on the squad.

“Several of the team members have been a part of EIHS Robotics for multiple years now, and we have grown so much as a program,” technology education teacher Jim Connell said. “It was great to see these students have so much success at this event.”
