“M

y message to Mr. Trump and the IRS is simple: we look forward to seeing you in court,” New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on July 17 concerning a new lawsuit filed

by New York, Connecticut and New Jersey against the Internal Revenue Service.

The lawsuit seeks to over-

turn an IRS rule preventing people from claiming contributions made to local governments as charitable contributions.

The notion of making charitable contributions instead of tax payments to local governments was put forward as a way to skirt the new limit of $10,000 in deductions on federal income tax returns for payment of state and local taxes. The limit, known as SALT, was put into effect in

the 2017 tax bill passed when Republicans had control of both the House and Senate and was seen by critics as retribution against states controlled by Democrats which have high local and state taxes.

In addition to the IRS, the suit names Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin as a defendant. Mnuchin had said that the cap on SALT deductions was intended to “send a message.” » SALT

RAND REALTY: HIGH-END MARKET SPOOKED BY SALT CAP THE BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS RAND REALTY second-quarter market report for the lower Hudson Valley shows the condominium and co-op market segments soaring while the cap on federal income tax deductibility of state and local taxes (SALT) continues to undercut the upper end of the market, especially luxury single-family homes.

Joe Rand, chief creative officer for the organization, described the luxury mar-

ket as being “spooked” by SALT and told the Business Journal, “I think the market is fundamentally strong. We’ve got pretty robust demand at most price points. You’ve got a strong economy. You’ve got low interest rates.”

In Westchester, the report showed closed sales of co-ops at 489 in the second quarter of 2019, up from the 455 sold in the second quarter of 2018. Condo sales were also up, with 346 sold compared with 324 in the » REAL ESTATE

Cumulus selling Bronxville radio station, keeping WFAS for now

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

umulus Media, the Atlanta-based broadcasting giant, plans to sell its FM radio station licensed to Bronxville as it exits the New York City radio market while, for the time being, maintaining ownership of AM station WFAS licensed to White Plains, the Business Journal has learned.

As of July 11, Cumulus owned and operated 428 radio stations in 87 markets.

The Bronxville station, heard at 103.9 on the FM dial, formerly was known as WFASFM and had White Plains as its city of license.

WFAS-AM and WFAS-FM were acquired

by Cumulus when it purchased Aurora Communications LLC, which owned 18 radio stations in New York and Connecticut. The purchase was completed on March 28, 2002, and was valued at $229.9 million, $93 million of which was in cash and the rest in stock and warrants to purchase stock.

Several years after acquiring the stations, Cumulus received Federal Communications Commission approval to change the FM station’s city of license to Bronxville. That allowed Cumulus to move the WFAS-FM transmitter to the Bronx where it would be closer to Manhattan while putting a signal of the

strength required by FCC rules over the new city of license and also protecting other stations from interference by the signal. In 2014, it changed the call letters to WNBM and changed the format to urban adult contemporary music.

Broadcasters generally consider a station serving the heart of a major city such as New York to be more valuable than a station, which only can be heard in the suburbs.

Both WFAS-AM at 1230 on the dial and its FM sister station had been transmitting from a 7-acre site at 365 Secor Road in Hartsdale since 1947. FCC records show the AM station was first licensed on Aug. 19, 1926. Its initial broadcast from White Plains is believed to have taken place in August 1932 from the Roger Smith Hotel. WFAS refers to Frank A. Seitz, father of station founder Frank A. Seitz Jr. Transmitting from Hartsdale, the stations could be heard in Westchester, the Bronx, parts of Manhattan, the north shore of Long Island, parts of New Jersey and Rockland. Under previous owners, they were operated as full-service community stations, broadcasting a schedule of popular music, local and national news, and sports. The stations moved their studios from downtown White Plains to Secor Road in the early 1950s. At one time, in addition to presenting a roster of disc jockeys and broadcast personalities, WFAS was an important source of local news with a staff of nine reporters

and anchors. The FM station operated for a few years with an easy-listening music format using the call letters WWYD. After moving the FM station’s license to Bronxville and changing its format, Cumulus arranged for use of a low-powered FM frequency, called a translator, at 94.3 on the FM dial to carry local programming while reviving the station identification WFAS-FM. Within a year, the local programming was dropped and the new WFAS-FM carried programs mostly from the Cumulus-owned Westwood One radio network. Recently, WFAS-FM at 94.3 was shut down and another operator began broad-

casting on the translator. WFAS-AM currently carries CBS Sports talk radio.

The studios for WNBM were established at 2 Penn Plaza in Manhattan, where Cumulus station WABC has its studios. On June 27, Cumulus announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell WABC to Red Apple Media Inc. for $12 million. At one time, WABC at 770 on the AM dial was one of the nation’s top music stations, boasting a roster of personalities such as Dan Ingram, Herb Oscar Anderson, Harry Harrison and “Cousin Brucie” Morrow.

The Business Journal learned that Mary G. Berner, president and CEO of Cumulus, sent a memo to staff members notifying them of the WABC sale and advising that it was in keeping with a plan to exit the New York City radio market, which she said was a difficult market for the company. Selling WNBM would be in keeping with that plan.

A possible asking price for the station was not released.

Cumulus recently emerged from a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in which it shed approximately $1 billion of its approximately $2.3 billion in debt. On Dec. 28, 2018, Cumulus Broadcasting LLC mortgaged the WFAS Secor Road property with Wilmington Trust, National Association, for $2,337,500, according to documents filed with the Westchester County Clerk.

Tarrytown Y lists building for sale at $6.5M, plans to relocate

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he Family YMCA at Tarrytown has listed for sale the building it has occupied for 107 years at 62 Main St. in Tarrytown and plans to move its programs to another location. The nonprofit has retained the commercial real estate services firm RM Friedland to market the property and also represent it in the search for a new location. The 1.22-acre site is on the south side of Main St., about 2 1/2 blocks west of Route 9, also known as Broadway. The property has been listed for sale at $6,495,000.

The building has approximately 41,537 square feet of space. Height varies from one to four stories. There is some on-site parking. The property has about 100 feet of frontage on Main Street.

Gerry Riera, CEO of The Family YMCA at Tarrytown, told the Business Journal, “When a lot of people think of the Y the first picture that pops into their mind is an old building and that has really overshadowed all the good work that we do within the facility and all of the staff. I’ve been here for 16 years and about 30 of us have been here for over 15 years, so

a lot of professionals have dedicated a good chunk of their lives to servicing this area.”

The organization’s board of directors decided that doing all the renovations the building needs in order for the Y to stay there for the long term is not financially feasible and the best thing to do was explore options to take advantage of the asset’s value and find a new location.

In an announcement on its website, the board noted that the process “is part of a multiyear strategic plan and is likely to take several years to complete. During this time, we will maintain our programming at our current location.”

WCBJ

Among the programs at the Y are aquatics, day care, after-school care, theater, dance, exercise and fitness. The board said it will go ahead with some repairs and upgrades, which have been planned. The intent is to offer the same services that are currently offered when the Y moves to a new space.

Riera said if a developer came up with a plan in which the Y could own or lease back a piece of a new development at the site they’d consider it. “We’re keeping an open mind to not only what our possibilities are but what could possibly be developed here,” he said.

The Y also says it hopes to either develop a new affordable housing project for people living at its 62 Main St. building or relocate the residents to existing affordable housing. Riera said the 48 rooms usually are fully occupied.

The Y has been in contact with local and county officials about its housing program and is collaborating with the New York City-based NHP Foundation, a nonprofit real estate organization, which works on preserving and creating affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families and seniors.

Riera told the Business Journal that one of the problems they’ve faced is not having a complete story to tell Y members and the gen-

eral public. “Friedland is representing us on the sale and also on the relocation and they really can’t relocate us until there’s a sale pending.

If we listed the property and didn’t express to the community what our desire was, the rumor would be that we are closing. So, we felt it was really important to let people know even though we didn’t have a complete story.”

Riera noted that developers often do not close on a property until they have received approvals and permits from local governments and that could take a year or two from the time a buyer is found.

In the meantime, it’s business as usual at 62 Main St. “Over the summer we’re making repairs to the studios on the lower level that were damaged in the spring by a pipe bursting so that dance and other classes can be held there,” Riera said.

He also said they’ll be closing the pool in August to make capital repairs to that facility.

Riera said response from members to the sale and relocation plan has been mainly positive. “It’s a very bold step, but it’s very exciting to move forward and to essentially relocate to a new facility where the focus can be on what we do,” he said.

Cushman & Wakefield: Office buildings along major transport routes ‘will continue to drive demand’

CT, NY AGs seek FDA input for marketing guidelines on cannabis-derived products

eal estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield says there were modest year-over-year increases in office leasing in both Westchester and Fairfield counties during the second quarter of 2019. While there was softness in Westchester during the first quarter of the year, Cushman’s report shows that what happened in the second quarter pushed the result for the first six months of the year to a 37% increase over the comparable period during 2018.

Cushman said rental pricing in Westchester went up 74 cents per square foot on average over the last 12 months to $28.59. It said Class A space in downtown White Plains was down a bit, dropping 86 cents per square foot to an average asking rent of $37.21. Class B office space fell $1.03 per square foot to $23.55.

The vacancy rate in Westchester at the end of the second quarter was 23.5% while in the White Plains commercial business district it was 17.6%.

Jim Fagan, managing principal for Connecticut and Westchester Market Leader of Cushman & Wakefield, said, “Office buildings

along major transport nodes will continue to drive demand going forward as tenants look to minimize commute times and have better access to labor and is expected to exceed last year’s levels, albeit by an insubstantial amount.”

As far as Fairfield County is concerned, Fagan said, “Demand is anticipated to stay relatively modest over the next six months … with a possibility of several large and notable transactions occurring later this year.”

He did not give details of what those might be.

“Vacancy is expected to fall across the county as large corporate tenants begin to migrate into their newly leased office space, with the largest declines in vacancy occurring in the Stamford submarket,” Fagan said.

The Cushman report says the average asking price for space in Fairfield declined 88 cents per square foot during the 12 months ending June 30 to $31.59. In the Danbury submarket, rents were down $5.55 per square foot to $19.20 on average. That contrasts sharply with Greenwich, where rents on average went up 87 cents per square foot to $52.58. Stamford accounted for 58.1% of the demand for space in Fairfield during the second quarter of 2019.

onnecticut Attorney General William Tong and his New York counterpart Letitia James are part of a coalition of 38 state attorneys general calling on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to increase federal cooperation with the states in addressing potentially false marketing claims on products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds, including cannabidiol (CBD).

The attorneys general noted the 2018 Farm Bill removed cannabis products containing less than 0.3% of THC, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, from the Schedule I list of drugs prohibited under the Controlled Substances Act. Since then, companies have manufactured and marketed products featuring varieties of cannabis commonly classified as hemp, which contain large amounts of CBD. “Currently, companies are creating a myriad of cannabinoid products largely unburdened by any oversight or testing requirements,” said the attorneys general in a letter to FDA Commissioner Norman E. Sharpless. “The inherent complexity of cannabinoids, combined with the danger of hazardous additives, raises seri-

ous public health concerns that absent some rules or regulations, unscrupulous companies will be able to distribute products that include illegal cannabinoid combinations or have dangerous additives. Beyond these dangers, there is also the potential for products to be incorrectly or misleadingly labeled and packaged in ways that take advantage of consumers and puts them at risk.”

The attorneys general warned that more research is needed to determine the risks and potential benefits of cannabinoid products, and they called on the FDA to work with state consumer protection authorities to create testing and manufacturing guidelines for this fast-growing market.

“Ultimately, the responsibility for protecting consumers that use cannabinoids and CBD products cannot solely be left to the companies supplying products — that responsibility must include the FDA with meaningful partnerships with the states and state attorneys general,” the letter stated. “We applaud the FDA’s recent steps, including the formation of the CBD working group focused on exploring pathways for dietary supplements and food regulation, seeking to clarify code citations, regulating cosmetics, and researching existing science and developments.”

States announce settlement figures from Equifax data breach

onnecticut Attorney General William Tong announced that the state will receive $4.78 million as part of a multistate settlement with Equifax stemming from the 2017 data breach that impacted the company, while New York Attorney General Letitia James announced her state will receive $9.18 million.

The total settlement requires Equifax to pay up to $425 million to a consumer restitution fund

and $175 million to the settlement coalition of 48 states, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Equifax will also pay $100 million to the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The settlement requires court approval before funds are disbursed.

The data breach occurred on Sept. 7, 2017, and impacted more than 147 million consumers, or 56 percent of American adults. The breached information included Social Security numbers, names, dates of birth, addresses, credit card numbers and, in some cases, driver’s license numbers.

Holiday Inn Bridgeport fills a hospitality void

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

T

wo of the most intriguing and ambitious commercial real estate projects proposed for Bridgeport involve hotels: the 300-room lodging component of the MGM Resorts Bridgeport at Steelepointe Harbor and the renovation of the long-defunct, 109-room Savoy Hotel as part of the Majestic-Poli mixed-use project in the north end section. To date, however, both projects appear to be on indefinite hold, with MGM Resorts International stalled by state law from opening a casino with its hotel and Exact Capital, the New York City-based developer on the Savoy project, still scrambling to secure financing for this endeavor.

Thus, Connecticut’s most populous city is home to a single hotel: the 184-room Holiday Inn Bridgeport, located on Main Street in the heart of the business district.

But for Deborah Salsman, director of sales and marketing at the hotel, the absence of lodging establishments is a traditional anomaly of the city.

“We didn’t have hotels back in the day, even with all of the industrial projects that were here,” she said, adding that a Holiday Inn once stood where Bob’s Discount Furniture is now based. Bridgeport’s only other current lodging establishment is the Sunnyside Inn, a small motel in a residential area that gained notoriety as the site of a February 2018 homicide case that was not solved for more than a year.

Salsman noted the Holiday Inn Bridgeport began life in the early 1980s as a Hilton-branded establishment, but ran into immediate difficulties and was sold in 1988 for $10 million to Trefz Corp., which switched the brand to International Hotel Group’s (IHG) Holiday Inn banner. Within a year under its new management, the hotel experienced a new jolt of activity, with occupancy jumping from 25% to 40%.

Downtown Bridgeport’s deficit of hospitality outlets has played to the hotel’s advantage. For example, Salsman noted the hotel’s dining room attracts many people from the courthouse across the street and from offices in the surrounding neighborhood. “Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of restaurants in the area, so we benefit from that,” she said.

Salsman pointed out that the hotel is proactive in its efforts to attract business opportunities. With 10,000 square feet of meeting space and a 6,000-square-foot ballroom that divides into thirds, Salsman aggressively promotes the facilities to multiple audiences.

“We are very competitive with weddings and gatherings for funerals,” she said. “We get graduations, mitzvahs, family reunions.

We have a great reputation in the communi-

ty and the lower Fairfield County area.”

The regional corporate, educational and nonprofit communities are also vital to the hotel’s conference business, she continued,

noting the local universities and hospitals regularly hold training sessions there. Bridgeport Hospital’s Center for Sleep Medicine takes up an entire floor at the hotel. On July 24, the hotel will host the National League of Cities’ three-day annual summer conference for Hispanic elected local officials.

“The hotel chain IHG promotes us, so we can get leads,” Salsman said. “Networking is always the No. 1 means of promotion. The best form of advertising is word of mouth.”

As part of the IHG, the hotel has to follow corporate directions regarding its interior design.

“Last year we renovated the entire lobby,” Salsman said. “Working through renovation is always a challenge. We lost rooms that we used for storage.”

Salsman also acknowledged that

Bridgeport’s longstanding stigma as being a city with a reputation for criminal activity has weighed on her work.

“I won’t lie. It makes my job harder,” she admitted, adding that the hotel maintains a 24/7 security detail. “But once I bring people in here and they see this facility, their concerns are alleviated.”

As for the high-profile hotel projects that are still in limbo, Salsman predicted the Holiday Inn Bridgeport would face a very different playing field if either or both of those efforts were completed.

“It will hurt us at first, yes,” she said. “But they’re different markets, and it will also help us in the long run because of the different type of business we can get. Eventually, their rates are going to become so expensive … that it is going to benefit us.”

ike many companies these days, Stamford’s Taylor Design is dealing with cybersecurity threats.

Not necessarily at the graphic design firm itself, but for its clients.

“Website security has become a huge thing for companies all around the country — big ones and small ones alike,” said founder, president, creative director and namesake Dan Taylor.

“Some of our clients have been hacked and we take steps to address that and to prevent it from happening in the future,” he said. “But I always feel like we’re one step behind the hackers — as soon as you get a solution in place they start trying to find ways around it.”

Taylor Design is not a cybersecurity firm, but as its offerings include website design, it has tried to implement recommendations from the General Data Protection Regulation, a guideline in European Union law on data protection and privacy for all individual citizens of the EU and the European Economic Area.

The firm expends most of its efforts on building brand identities based on such factors as real-time analytics, one-to-one customer connections and sales and marketing goals — always with plenty of input from clients.

“We don’t use templates for our work,” Taylor said.

“We work closely with our clients, which tends to be time-consuming as we go back and forth.”

Such creativity can take from four to six weeks for logo projects and up to six months for websites, depending on the project, he said.

“We do everything from

scratch,” he said. “We’re a very custom shop. Everything we do is from the ground up, which means our prices can be a little higher than some of our competitors.”

The firm has mined success for a variety of clients, ranging from Purchasebased air cargo company Atlas Air to pharmaceutical companies Boehringer Ingelheim in Ridgefield and Alexion in New Haven to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

It also regularly produces annual reports, videos, learning modules and publications for such organizations as Sarah Lawrence College, Columbia University and Hartford Art School.

“That’s typically a very defined cycle of marketing,” he said. “They have open houses in the fall and spring, so most of our work tends to be pinned to that.

“Most of our efforts are in the New York metro area, but we also have clients in St. Louis, Miami, Freepoint Commodities, which is in Stamford, but has an office in Houston, and Northwestern Hospital in Chicago. Atlas Air is in Singapore and Hong Kong, so sometimes we have to translate our work into several languages. It seems like everyone’s all over the place.”

The health care and pharma sectors have been particularly good to the company of late, he said.

“Once you do a project for one company, another one (in the same field) will get in contact,” he said.

“There’s a lot of word of mouth and referrals that we rely upon.”

A new niche market is fish farms, “if you can believe it,” he laughed.

Taylor Design has done branding and websites for Waterbury’s Ideal Fish, which specializes in branzino, and Hudson Valley

Fisheries in Hudson, New York, whose wares are mostly freshwater species like New York steelhead trout.

“They both sell to restaurants in Boston and New York and to places like Whole Foods,” he said.

Taylor himself worked at a number of New York graphic design firms for about 10 years, “until I decided I was bumping my head on the ceiling, if you will.”

After buying a house in Stamford, “I started commuting and decided I didn’t like that very much, so I went out on my own.”

Established in 1992, Taylor Design — located at 247 Main St. — employs about a dozen people. “The people we hire are the top people in their class,” he declared. “We’re fortunate that the people we interview have portfolios, but we also talk with faculty about who the top people coming out of school really are.”

The firm typically draws its talent from the University of Hartford, Syracuse University and Taylor’s alma mater, the Rochester Institute of Technology, among others.

Taylor said he usually attends initial meetings with new clients, after which “it becomes a team effort. I serve as the creative director and there’s a senior designer and a designer and programmer — usually a team of three or four.”

Social media and email campaigns continue to grow for Taylor Design, he said.

“We help create thought leadership, all in a very integrated way, to help generate leads for those companies,” he said.

The trick, he added, is not to be too overt with the messaging.

“Instead of just plastering a company’s name out there, you have to be creative to get your message across, especially with younger people,” he noted.

The Class A 6-story office building is across the street from the Metro-North Railroad station. The building contains more than 70,000 square feet and features a brick exterior with large windows.

The owner says the available spaces have high ceilings and open floor plans with floor-toceiling windows that overlook the Hudson River and Jersey Palisades. There are 3,000 square feet of retail space available on the first floor.

Citibank occupies one of the retail spaces on the ground level. The second floor is fully vacant with 11,139 square feet

available. On the third floor, Magnificat Publishing is in 6,000 square feet and Care Design has 3,000 square feet, leaving 2,580 square feet available. Floors 4, 5 and 6 are fully vacant, with 12,273 square feet each.

The structure was originally built for Homes for America in 2005, and was bought by AMS Acquisitions for $9.5 million in January 2018 from Madison Realty Capital. After receiving city approvals, AMS did significant renovations to the building, including adding the floor-toceiling windows on the top three floors. The building’s amenities include a roof deck with views of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge and a gym.

AMS also owns 92 Main St., which it purchased in 2017.

Norman Bobrow, David Badner and Jonathan Kershner of Norman Bobrow and Company are handling the leasing.

SALT—

The new IRS rule requires anyone making charitable contributions to remove from their federal charitable contribution deduction any state and local tax credits they may receive.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of New York, said, “The IRS’ move to end tax benefits for charitable giving is yet another attempt by the Trump administration to unfairly target hardworking taxpayers of states like New York.”

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It describes what the IRS did as a “radical break” from historic precedent and says the rule is not within the statutory authority of the IRS, is a violation of the federal Administrative Procedures Act and is “arbitrary.”

James said, “We will not stand idly by as this administration throws out decades of historic precedent putting our local economies, education systems and other critical programs at risk. My office stands firm against this unlawful attack and will do everything in our power to ensure that

state taxpayers are protected.”

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said, “Our Legislature sought to ease the financial burden this cap has on residents by passing a law to protect our taxpayers. The IRS final rule not only undermines those legislative efforts but it eliminates the state’s ability to mitigate the harmful effects of this law.

Our office stands ready to protect Connecticut taxpayers.”

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont said, “The federal tax reforms approved by Congress were promoted as a tax cut, but in reality they’ve resulted in a tax hike for millions of citizens, including thousands here

at $195,000. Single-family sales, however, dropped 10.9% to 851 units with the average selling price up 2.8% at $282,301 and the median price up 5.6% at $265,000.

In Dutchess County, the condo market was on the plus side with closed sales up 6.4% at 149, the average sales price up 2.9% at $209,415 and the median selling price up 3.7% at $184,000. There was a 10.4% drop in sales of single-family homes to 500 with a 4.8% drop in the average selling price to $324,752 and a 2.7% gain in the median sale price to $288,500.

In Putnam County, the average selling price of single-family homes remained essentially flat at $396,425 with 7% more sold in the second quarter of 2019 than in the same period of 2018. The median sales price moved up 3.5% to $366,250, accord-

in Connecticut. This was a purely partisan bill and — let’s be frank — aimed directly at blue states like Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.

It’s unfair, discriminatory and unconstitutional.”

Cuomo noted that a separate lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the SALT policy is ongoing. “The Trump administration’s SALT policy is an economic civil war that helps red states at the expense of blue states,” he said.

Cuomo said the new IRS rule contradicts existing federal tax law that says state choices to provide tax incentives for charitable donations do not affect the federal deductibility of those gifts.

“The IRS regulations lack any basis in the law, upend decades of precedent without authorization from Congress, and target programs established by New York and other states to incentivize charitable contributions,” Cuomo said. “New York already sends $36 billion more to Washington than we get back every year. And thanks to the Republicans’ SALT cap, New Yorkers are being used as ATMs, footing an additional $15 billion each year that will be redistributed to red states and corporations.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR July 13 blackout may offer a look at New York’s future t lasted only a few hours, but the July 13 blackout in New York City was a harbinger of worse things to come.

On the 42nd anniversary of the enormous 1977 blackout and 16 years after the 2003 blackout, the energy infrastructure of America’s largest city remains vulnerable.

This time, power was restored within hours and catastrophe was averted. We can anticipate, however, that our aging transmission grid will combine dangerously with dwindling resources and rising demand to make blackouts more frequent.

New technologies make our lives better — but they eat up a lot of electricity. Yet while New York should be expeditiously adding new sources of generation, we’re actually losing them and not replacing them fast enough. When

Indian Point shuts down in 2021, 2,000 megawatts of reliable 24/7 power will be gone.

The immediate replacement for Indian Point is natural gas — but with Albany doing everything it can to slow or stop new plants and pipelines coming online, we’ll likely be looking outside our state for a substantial portion of our electricity. That, in turn, means our old, fragile and insufficiently updated transmission grid will be even more stressed than it is now.

Mechanical failures like the one we saw this month are com-

mon. Our government must prioritize investment in renewing and upgrading power lines and control systems throughout the state — a huge undertaking, most of which has been too-long delayed.

Today’s circumstances tell us New York can count on more outages — but we can’t count on them being as localized as the last one. What we should be able to count on is an energy infrastructure prepared for the 21st century— and 19 years into that century, it’s past time for Albany to act.

Arthur “Jerry” Kremer served in the New York State Assembly from 1966 to 1988, eventually becoming chairman of the Ways & Means Committee, a position he held for 10 years. He now serves as chairman of the New York Affordable Reliable Electricity Alliance (New York AREA), a coalition of business, labor and community leaders and organizations.

$450,000. Condos saw average selling prices jump 16.4% to $297,223 while the median selling price went up 16.1% to $252,000.

“We have right now a classic sellers’ market in the condo and co-op markets,” Rand said. “We have extremely low inventory, historically low rates, high

levels for demand, a strong economy and that is driving really strong sales and price appreciation in the condo and co-op markets.”

Rand suggested the single-family market also would be soaring were it not for the SALT deduction cap. That provision in the tax reforms passed in 2017 when the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress limits deductibility of state and local taxes to $10,000 on federal income tax returns.

“I think a lot of buyers in the higher end are spooked by the SALT cap.

They’re at income levels that make it much more likely they’ll itemize their taxes.

The average homebuyer buying a $300,000 home is probably making $100,000, maybe a little bit more. That person probably takes the standard deduction. So, you go to Orange County, you

go to Dutchess County, you go farther upstate, the SALT cap doesn’t really affect most homebuyers because they’re not really itemizing their deductions anyway.

But, in Westchester, where the average sale price is $800,000, almost everybody in the higher single-family market itemizes their taxes and they’re spooked by the SALT cap,” he said.

Rand said while the higher end of the market may be comparatively slow, it’s not terrible and the lower end of the market is very strong.

“You’re seeing a lot of activity at the open houses, a lot of activity on the phones,” he said.

“Everywhere, except the very high end of the market, you’ve got a pretty strong sellers’ market. It’s just that it’s being masked by the weakness at the high end.”

HERS SnapDragon design firm rises from the ashes of HMS in Fairfield

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

new direction and new ownership have resulted in a new name for a global brand design firm in Fairfield.

“Snapdragons are the truth tellers of flowers,” said Elle Morris, newly minted owner, president and CEO of SnapDragon Brand Design Consultancy at 10 Sasco Hill Road, referring to the Victorian era, when flowers were often imbued with symbolic meaning. “They survive in rough terrain, and are also a British colloquialism for ‘assertive women.’ ” Morris, who has spent her entire 20-plus-year career in creative and marketing ser-

vices, joined what was then HMSDesign in March 2017 as CEO, a title specifically created for her by then-owner Hugh Montgomery, with the responsibility of modernizing the company.

“HMS was a traditional packaging design firm when I joined,” she said. “Hugh and I agreed that I would evolve the business model and eventually buy the company from him.”

SnapDragon now offers digital and retail design for clients that require a more holistic view of their brand, in addition to brand strategy, package design and identity development, Morris said.

“The industry has changed,” she said. “I believed that we would be more viable if we became a strategy-led

agency instead of being solely focused on packaging.”

Morris came to HMS following an 18-month stint as president of the Americas for New York-based Elmwood Design, an international design consultancy company, where she won such clients as Lidl, SC Johnson and Russell Hobbs. Before that she was vice president and managing director of key global accounts at independent brand design agency LPK, where she helped build, expand and revitalize brands around the globe like Herbal Essences, Gillette, Olay, Pantene and Head & Shoulders.

That international experience is being fully deployed at SnapDragon, she said, which maintains a network

of roughly 50 freelancers worldwide in addition to the nine employees in Fairfield.

“We’re very careful about vetting who we put on our bench,” Morris said.

“Generally we prefer working with people with whom one of us has a personal relationship, or with whom we’ve worked previously.”

SnapDragon’s senior staff includes: Vice President, Client Services Kelly Glotzer; Vice President of Strategy Jennifer Murtell; and Client Strategy Director Tina Kunkel, all of whom have 15 to 20 years of corporate experience.

The female-centric approach is no accident.

“This is an industry that has traditionally been driven by men,” she said, “but women

are the drivers of the majority of purchases in households when it comes to consumer packaged goods. And that’s one thing that differentiates us from our competitors.”

However, SnapDragon is not a women-only business.

“We have a couple of wonderful gentlemen here,” including Creative Director Joe DiMeo and Associate Creative Director Ben Jura, she said.

Carrying over from HMS are such clients as HP Hood, Blue Diamond Almond Breeze, Sargento, Henkel, Hain Celestial, ColgatePalmolive, good2grow Kids Beverages, Reily Foods and Strength of Nature Haircare.

“We’re a boutique firm that’s competing with mid-tier agencies,” Morris said.

“But while those firms may have 150 to 200 people in their offices globally, we don’t have their overhead, so we can give clients a similar experience without the cost.

“Our mission is to have our clients succeed, so while they may fall in love with a plan, we can say whether it’s viable and can suggest other ways to achieve their goals.”

One other difference is SnapDragon’s lack of a strict hierarchy, Morris added.

“It sounds corny, but we really are a family here,” she said. “We all really enjoy working together, and we hang out at each other’s family barbecues every other weekend. We’re all friends. We don’t have the politics that exist at other organizations.”

IN BRIEF | Fairfield County Connecticut leaders urge AG Tong to challenge ruling on Tweed Airport runway expansion

Tweed Airport.

The Democrat and Republican leaders of the Connecticut Senate have teamed up to urge state Attorney General William Tong to challenge a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that would allow Tweed New Haven Airport to expand the length of its main runway to accommodate new commercial air routes.

The court issued a 23-page decision that voided a 2009 state statute limiting the airport’s runway to 5,600 feet. The decision, which overturned a lower court ruling against the airport, acknowledged that Tweed’s runway is “one of the shortest commercial airport runways in the country” and determined that the final determination on its runway length lies with the Federal Aviation Administration and not the state. A bill that would have allowed for the runway expansion failed to make headway in the just-concluded legislative session.

Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano (R-North Haven) sent a letter to Tong urging him to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court — the next step in the judicial appeal process — by arguing that they had “serious concerns with the conclusion that a state statute regulating the length of runways is always superseded by the Federal Aviation

JULY 29, 2019

Administration Act.” They also accused supporters of the runway expansion of engaging in “blatant disregard and multiple attempts to circumvent the state law passed in 2009 and the contract signed by all parties.”

Gov. Ned Lamont cited upgrading Tweed as part of his proposals to strengthen the state’s transportation infrastructure, but he made no public comment on either the court ruling or the senators’ request for legal intervention. Tong did not comment on the senators’ request, but the legislators suggested that the attorney general would be displaying weakness in leadership if he failed to heed them.

LAMONT: SEBAC PACT WILL PUT CONNECTICUT ON ‘FIRMER FINANCIAL GROUND’

A new agreement with the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition (SEBAC) will provide Connecticut with hundreds of millions of dollars in budgetary relief over the next decade, according to Gov. Ned Lamont.

The agreement means the administration has achieved the pension savings reflected in the fiscal year 2020-21 biennial budget that Lamont signed into law last month.

According to the governor, it will result in a budgetary savings in the general fund for each fiscal year through 2032 of between $115 million and

FCBJ

WCBJ

$121 million. It will also create a savings in the special transportation fund of $15.7 million in fiscal year 2020 and $19.7 million in fiscal year 2021.

Additionally, current law requires that once the budget reserve fund equals 15% of the general fund budget, which is anticipated by the end of fiscal year 2021, any additional surplus funds would be directed to paying down the unfunded liability of the State Employees Retirement Fund or the Teachers’ Retirement Fund — in addition to required contributions — or to pay down outstanding debt.

“The pension liability we face is decades in the making and will take decades to resolve,” Lamont said.

“This executed agreement honors the spirit of the original agreement transitioning to a level-dollar amortization while flattening the trajectory of the state’s annual employer share of our pension costs without affecting benefits for any current or future employees,” Office of Policy and Management Secretary Melissa McCaw said. “This will allow the state significantly more sustainability in budgeting, honoring our commitment while in alignment with revenue growth, which is helpful in the near term and for the decades ahead.

“Connecticut has faced pension problems for generations,” McCaw continued, “and the agreement announced today is in furtherance of the state’s commitment to a sustainable financial path while working towards a healthier and well-funded retirement system for our employees.”

Under the agreement, the transition to a “level dollar” actuarially determined employer contribution (ADEC) is maintained and the entire pension liability is fully funded by 2047, consistent with the original agreement.

The only change is that the pension liability attributable to those pensions earned as of 1984 will be fully funded by 2047 instead of by 2032 under the current plan.

That provides the state

with a flat ADEC for the majority of the years leading up to 2047, which the governor’s administration said was critically important in maintaining the state’s commitment to funding such pension liability and balancing fiscal resources.

The administration will submit the agreement to the General Assembly for its approval, as state statutes contemplate such a submission if an amendment to a prior agreement has additional costs, even though in this case the near-term cost impact is to achieve savings. However, the governor’s office said, there is an opportunity cost to the lower annual ADEC. “I refuse to take a passive approach and sit on the sidelines when faced with the need to make reasonable adjustments to address the state’s structural deficits,” Lamont said.

In another remark, presumably aimed at Republican Senate Minority Leader Len Fasano — who had derided the $43.4 billion budget as out of balance, partly as it counted on labor concessions “yet to be agreed upon in concept, let alone achieved” — Lamont said, “Some may have doubted our ability to achieve the budgeted pension savings, but here we are, and I am sure even they will enthusiastically agree that today’s news positions our state on firmer financial ground well into the next decade.”

SURVEY: NEARLY HALF OF CONNECTICUT RESIDENTS ARE ‘LIKELY’ TO LEAVE WITHIN FIVE YEARS

An increasing number of Connecticut residents are looking elsewhere with the possibility of pointing their moving vans beyond the state line.

According to the latest InformCT Consumer Confidence Survey conducted by the Connecticut Economic Research Center covering the second quarter of this year, 47% of respondents said it was likely they would be moving out of the state within the next five years. This ties the fourth quarter 2018 level as the high-

est in the survey’s history.

When asked if they agreed with the statement, “Connecticut is a good place to live and raise a family,” only 44% of respondents offered an affirmative response, down from 47% in the previous quarter.

However, 73% of respondents believed Connecticut’s business conditions are better or the same compared to six months ago, slightly up from the previous quarter, while the 16% share who felt jobs are very hard to get in Connecticut was the lowest percentage since the quarterly survey began in 2015.

When asked if their financial well-being was better today than six months ago, 35% of respondents said yes and 23% said no — an improvement from the first-quarter results when 33% said they were worse off and 26% said they were better off. As for the next six months, 43% said they expected to be better off while 16% expected they will be worse off financially. In the first quarter, that comparison was 37% to 18%.

“Connecticut residents can best be described as uneasy,” said Alissa DeJonge, vice president of research at the Connecticut Economic Research Center. “They’re feeling better in some ways, but not in others. They have a definite preference of how the state should help fill jobs that may be coming, and their own personal financial situation is looking up. But they’re less sure of the state’s economic prospects and whether they’ll stick around, even as they say the job picture has brightened.”

The online survey was conducted in late June and consisted of input from 505 state residents and has a margin of error of 4%.

VINEYARD VINES’ STAMFORD HQ BUILDING SOLD FOR $33.5 MILLION

Real estate investment firm Rubenstein Partners, in partnership with George Comfort & Sons, have sold 181 Harbor Drive in Stamford for $33.5

million to a pair of New York real estate investment firms.

The 91,040-square-foot building, which will continue to serve as the headquarters of clothing company Vineyard Vines, was bought

by Melohn Group and Drake Street Partners.

Jeffrey Dunne, Steven Bardsley and Travis Langer of CBRE’s Institutional Properties Group represented the sellers and procured the buyer.

Rubenstein and George Comfort & Sons will maintain ownership of the other five buildings in the Shippan Landing complex, which are undergoing a $40 million renovation.

Rubenstein, based in Philadelphia, bought the 12-story, approximately 450,000-square-foot office building at 600 Washington Blvd. for $163 million in June.

KOHL’S BUILDING IN FAIRFIELD PART OF 3-PARCEL, $12.5 MILLION SALE

The Kohl’s building at 290 Tunxis Hill Road in Fairfield was part of a $12.5 million, three-parcel, off-market sale to Tunxis Hill LLC, according to Westport-based commercial real estate broker Vidal/ Wettenstein.

Kohl’s has been at the 101,402-square-foot property since Caldor exited about 20 years ago.

Also part of the transaction was Russell Speeder Car Wash at 620 Villa Ave., which has been there since 1964.

“It is especially gratifying for me to complete this transaction, because I worked at the Villa Avenue Car Wash in 1969,” Vidal/Wettenstein partner Bruce Wettenstein said.

The deal also included a 1.07-acre parking lot on Greenfield Street.

Attorney Marshall Goldberg of Stamford-based Wofsey, Rosen, Kweskin & Kuriansky represented the seller, while Dana Friedman of Milford law firm Harlow, Adams & Friedman represented the buyer.

White Plains-based Combe sued for $5M for alleged defects in Just For Men hair coloring

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

hree men who used Just For Men hair coloring say there are many more like them who may have been injured by the product made by Combe Inc. of White Plains.

Ray Du Boc Ali, Izell McCloud and Clemon Williams filed a class-action lawsuit against Combe on July 2 in federal court in White Plains, alleging defective product design and seeking more than $5 million from the consumer products company.

“The Just For Men ( JFM) hair dyes are more dangerous than an ordinary consumer would expect,” the complaint states, due to “potential for serious allergic response and the risk of scarring, vitiligo and other significant permanent injury.”

Anthony M. Santini, senior vice president and general counsel of Combe, said in an email, “We believe the plaintiffs’ claims have no merit and we will vigorously defend this lawsuit.”

Santini said JFM products have been on the market since 1987, with millions of satisfied consumers, and they fully comply with all regulatory and legal requirements.

“The safety and efficacy of our products and the satisfaction of our customers, is paramount to our company,” he said.

The lawsuit alleges that JFM instructions are false and misleading, the products are marketed more as a medicine than a cosmetic, and consumers are being exposed to “human experimentation for no

confirmed benefit.”

The men claim they were injured in 2015.

After applying JFM black dye to his beard, Ali, of Bossier City, Louisiana, claims his face began itching, he noticed skin flakes in his beard and his face began to sting, burn and swell. Over the following days, his skin allegedly became hard and scabbed, and he was left with permanent discoloration.

He contacted Combe, the complaint states, and a representative took pictures of him and said he would be provided with a dermatologist. He claims he never got the promised medical care.

McCloud, of Palatka, Florida, applied JFM to his goatee. After a few minutes his face itched and burned, he claims, and he immediately washed his goatee.

But his face allegedly continued to itch, burn, crack and peel. His chin and lower lip were discolored from dark brown to white, from loss of pigmentation in a condition called vitiligo.

He claims Combe referred him to a dermatologist who discouraged him from attributing the injury to JFM. Williams, of Wake Forest, North Carolina, said he tested the dye on his arms, as recommended in the instructions, waited 48 hours, saw no reaction and used it on his beard.

A few days later, his face allegedly became itchy and swollen, his skin oozed and he experienced severe pain. He was admitted to a hospital for four days. Now he has permanent scarring and skin discoloration, according to the complaint.

The suspected substance in JFM is p-phenylenedi-

amine (PPD).

Even when used as directed, the complaint states, PPD can cause mild to serious injuries, ranging from rashes to life-threatening anaphylactic shock.

The chemical is allegedly like coal tar dye that requires a warning label.

The JFM label cautions users to do a 48-hour skin allergy patch test before using the product.

By requiring a patch test — to diagnose, mitigate or prevent a disease — Combe is promoting JFM as a drug, the complaint states.

The test described in the instructions is not actually a patch test, according to the complaint, the testing procedure is undefined, and customers have no training in interpreting the results.

Users are also unlikely to do the test, because they have to leave the site uncovered and unwashed for two days, and must test themselves before every use.

The test itself, the complaint states, can expose the customer to 35 times more PPD than a standard patch test.

The complaint asks whether Combe has failed to comply with the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, whether the instructions are adequate, and whether the risks of using JFM outweigh the benefits.

The law firm that represents the men — Berg Simpson Eldlredge Hersh & Jardine of Denver — said it already represents 140 people who qualify as members of a class-action lawsuit.

It is asking the court to certify the class, and it is demanding damages for their injuries, emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life.

ASK ANDI Interviewing done right WE DON’T HAVE AN INTERVIEW PROCESS. WE’RE HAPHAZARD AND I THINK THAT LEADS TO SOME OF THE HIRING PROBLEMS WE’VE HAD. WOULD LIKE TO GET A LOT BETTER AT INTERVIEWING AND HIRING THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR MY COMPANY. CAN YOU HELP? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Lay out a process that you can use every time. Consider testing to gain some insight. Decide who should be involved in the interviews, and in what order.

Keep evaluating your process to compare results and see how to improve.

Think through the steps your company goes through to hire a candidate once you have applicants to look at. Make sure you can get multiple looks at the candidate to see if they’re consistent across all meetings and conversations.

If you’re in a low-unemployment economy, plan to work quickly to move through interviews, check references, refine the job offer and negotiate salary.

Don’t get into job specifics at first. Rather, spend time finding out the candidates’ backgrounds.

Compare that background to the ideal job description to see if there’s a fit, without giving away too much detail to the candidate, to limit how much they craft their descriptions to meet your needs.

Be clear up-front about the range of job compensation and say that compensation is based on how well the candidates’ experiences match the job you’re looking to fill. Be careful about asking for historical salary from candidates as that’s now an illegal question in some states.

didates answer questions to your current base of employees. That can be a mixed bag, as you want diversity in your workforce but you also want a cohesive culture.

As owner and head of the firm, you probably don’t want to be doing the first interview, even if it’s a top-tier candidate. Ask someone else in the company to meet with candidates first and get a feel for them. Develop scripts to use for each of three interviews. Have someone in each interview who takes notes, or consider taping interviews. Just get the candidate’s permission to use the recording device. Use a lot of repeat questions to see if candidates remain consistent throughout the interview process.

As you go through interviews, take time to debrief how the interviews are going. Check on candidates post-hire — the ones you hired and the ones you let go if you can keep track of them. Look for the most successful candidates, pull out the interview notes to

see if they drew out information that would indicate the candidate would be successful. Do the same with your failures. Keep refining the process as you go through the years until you feel that you have a process that works well every time.

“The Business Council of Westchester is very excited to be presenting this important and highly informative program where the region’s three leading county executives will discuss the challenges facing today’s county governments. Among the topics to be discussed will

be transportation, economic development, taxes and finding new sources of revenue,” said BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon. “The three counties share a great deal in common in the critical issues they are facing in this new era of change. We are looking forward to a lively and timely discussion,” Gordon added.

The “3 County Summit” is being sponsored by Empire City Casino, Thalle Industries, Levitt-Fuirst Insurance and Verizon. For more information about this Political Leadership Series program, visit thebcw.org

Sales rise, prices drop in second-quarter Fairfield County housing market

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

T

he number of second-quarter sales in Fairfield County’s housing market increased year over year after five straight quarters of declines while listing inventory fell year over year for the first time in three quarters, according to data released

by Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Year-over-year sales prices dropped during the second quarter.

The average sale price in Fairfield County for all residential properties during the second quarter was $639,033, up from the first-quarter price of $545,179, but down from the $675,269 in the second quarter of 2018. The median sale price of $420,000 was 16.8% higher than the previ-

ous quarter’s $359,450, but was 1.2% below the median price set one year earlier.

The number of closed sales for all residential properties during the second quarter was 3,099, a 57.5% increase from the first-quarter total of 1,968 and a 0.4% rise from the 3,087 closed sales in the second quarter of 2018. The average number of days on market totaled 121 in the second quarter, down from the 137 days in the first quarter and close to the 119 days from one year earlier.

SINGLE-FAMILY PROPERTIES

The average sale price for a single-family Fairfield County home in the second quarter was $733,321, an 18.6% increase from the first quarter’s $618,118, but a 4.2% decline from the $765,537 price set in the second quarter of 2018.

The median single-family sale

quarter’s 3,860 and slightly lower than the 4,864 listings in 2018’s second quarter.

CONDOMINIUMS

price of $485,128 was a 15.5% uptick from the first quarter’s $420,000, but a 2.1% slide from the $495,650 price set one year earlier.

A total of 2,383 single-family homes were sold in the first quarter, a 64.8% spike from the 1,446 transactions in the first quarter and only five fewer than the 2,388 sales in the previous year. There was also more inventory to work with. The second quarter’s 4,840 active listings were 25.4% higher than the first

In Fairfield County’s condominium market, prices were on the decline. The average sale price for condos in Fairfield County during the second quarter was $325,221, down 5.2% from the first quarter’s $343,127 and down 11.4% from the $366,883 in the second quarter of 2018.

The median sale price of $263,200 for this sector was slightly lower than the previous quarter’s $265,000 but was substantially lower than the $280,000 price from one year earlier.

There were 716 condos sold in the second quarter, more than the previous quarter’s 522 sales and more than the previous year’s 699 transactions. This sector’s

active inventory of 966 outpaced the first quarter’s 832 but was lower than the previous year’s 989.

LUXURY MARKET

In Fairfield County’s luxury market — which combines both single-family properties and condos for its total data — the second quarter’s average sale price of $2.36 million was an 18.6% increase from the first quarter’s $1.99 million, but it was lower than the $2.56 million from the second quarter of 2018. The median sale price of $1.94 million was a 23.1% spike from the previous quarter’s $1.58 million, but a 2.4% drop from the $1.99 million price of one year earlier.

Sales activity in the luxury market totaled 310, up from the previous quarter’s 197 and only three less than the previous year’s total of

313 properties. The second quarter’s active listing inventory of 1,453 properties was lower than the first quarter’s 1,607 and almost equal to the 1,454 properties in 2018’s second quarter.

Among the Fairfield County submarkets, Greenwich recorded the highest average sales prices for a single-family home at $2.5 million and for a condo at $976,320.

“It’s encouraging to see Fairfield County sales up this quarter as well as the decrease in inventory,” said Scott Elwell, Douglas Elliman’s senior executive regional manager of Westchester and New England. “Market conditions are favorable, which is why we’re seeing more activity, and it makes sense to speculate that we’re now past the roughest part of the market adjustment to the new tax law.”

IN COURT | By Bill Heltzel

T

Feds charge Newburgh nail polish maker with firing disabled workers

he Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Inc., a Newburgh nail polish manufacturer, fired two disabled workers who were capable of doing their jobs “with reasonable accommodations.”

The lawsuit was filed July 17 in federal court in White Plains, one week after the Worker Justice Center of New York filed a similar complaint in Supreme Court in Orange County for one of the workers.

Both lawsuits also name the parent company, Kirker Enterprises Inc. of Paterson, New Jersey.

Kirker officials did not respond to email and phone messages requesting the company’s side of the story.

Kirker is a subsidiary of RPM International Inc., an $8.15 billion specialty coatings and sealants manufacturer that is not named in the lawsuits.

The EEOC complaint was filed on behalf of Javier Amigon and Concepcion Hernandez, “toppers” who placed caps on bottles of nail polish on the filling line.

On busy days, according to the Worker Justice complaint, the production line processes more than 40,000 bottles of nail polish, or more than one bottle per second.

Amigon’s left leg had been

amputated below the knee and his right foot was partially amputated following a 1985 assault. He worked from a stool and from time to time he prepared boxes and did other tasks while standing, “to keep the line running smoothly.”

Kirker bought the factory from Concept Packaging Inc. in 2015. In January 2016, company managers allegedly forced all production line workers to stand while doing their jobs. Amigon’s stool was thrown out.

After standing at work for a week, his wounds were bleeding and he was unable to continue. He was put on medical leave.

He produced several doctors’ notes stating that he could work effectively while seated. The company allegedly told him that its rules prohibited use of a seat and he could not be given special treatment because that would create jealousy and unrest among his co-workers.

On July 11, 2016, he was fired.

In Hernandez’s case, her left foot had developed growths that limited her ability to stand or walk. The company approved a leave of three to four weeks for surgery, but when she asked for an additional week for

recovery, the EEOC complaint states, she was fired.

A complaint filed with the EEOC in 2017 accused KTF of discrimination under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. The agency determined that KTF and Kirker were controlled by the same people: CEO Jeffrey Hersh and Controller Sharon Muzeni.

In March, the EEOC found reasonable cause to believe that the companies had violated the disabilities law. It asked them to discuss conciliation but was unable to reach an acceptable agreement, according to the complaint.

The EEOC claims that Kirker and KTF fired Amigon and Hernandez because of their disabilities. It is demanding that they compensate their former employees with back pay and other losses, make reasonable accommodations so they can work and stop engaging in any practices that discriminate on the basis of disability.

The Worker Justice complaint makes similar demands for Amigon, under the New York State Human Rights Law. Kirsten Peters of Manhattan is the trial attorney for the EEOC. John A. Marsella of Rochester is the Worker Justice attorney.

Westchester lawmakers approve $55.5M family court lease in New Rochelle

W

estchester County legislators have approved a 30-year, $55.5 million lease for a courthouse in a structure yet to be built on a former industrial site in New Rochelle that might be contaminated.

Westchester Family Court is housed at 420 North Ave., but it has to move before July 2021 when its lease expires.

The deal approved by the county board of legislators on July 15 is for two floors and 35,000 square feet, or three times more than the current location, in a building proposed for 26 Garden St. The site encompasses five parcels in a triangular section between Garden Street, Cottage Place and the New England Thruway.

Several parcels were bought by Mark 95 LLC, managed by Bronx-based developer Mark Stagg, who grew up in White Plains and lives in Harrison. The project is also being developed by Joseph Simone of Simone Development Cos. of the Bronx.

Stagg is known primarily for residential projects and Simone for commercial work.

The developers have proposed a residential and

office project, according to a New Rochelle permit application. Besides offices, the project includes a 24-story, 391-unit apartment building and parking for 489 cars. Fifty to 60 parking spaces would be allocated to the court.

The courthouse lease calls for $40.4 million in rent over 30 years, plus $15.1 million in “additional rent,” for a total of $55.5 million.

The additional rent covers $7 million to build the court facilities, common area charges, management fees and other costs.

The rent schedule begins at $40.39 per square foot and culminates in year 30 at $70.25 per square foot.

The property is classified as a brownfield site that is potentially contaminated with hazardous substances.

The deal requires the developers to clean up any residual contamination before beginning construction.

If the developers are unable to deliver the office space before July 2021, Westchester will be entitled to damages of $4,000 a day. If the deadline is missed by 90 days, the county may terminate the lease.

Twenty-five sites were considered for the court-

house.

The court is one of three family courts in Westchester, with Yonkers and White Plains, that handle adoptions, child custody, child support, domestic violence, guardianships and paternity issues. Divorces, annulments and separations are brought before Supreme Court.

Last year, Westchester announced plans to relocate family court to a vacant building at 366 Pelham Road in New Rochelle, but Mayor Noam Bramson and others objected to the location as inconvenient and inaccessible.

The Garden Street lots had been considered, but County Executive George Latimer noted last year, according to The Journal News, that developing an empty parcel is not as time effective or cost effective as moving into an existing building.

Latimer issued a press release on July 15 noting that 26 Garden St. is close to the New Rochelle transit center and presents the ability to create a state-ofthe-art facility.

“This is the best option,” he said, “for the taxpayers, the courts and the community.”

Chem Rx Pharmacy Services sues four Hudson Valley nursing homes for $1.5M

C

hem Rx Pharmacy Services claims that four Hudson Valley nursing homes have refused to pay $1.5 million for goods and services.

Chem Rx of Louisville, Kentucky, sued Middletown Park, Salem Hills, Sky View and Waterview Hills Rehabilitation and Nursing Centers on July 1 in federal

court in White Plains.

Lizer Jozefovic, an owner of the nursing homes and CEO of Epic Health Care ManagementLLC, an affiliate, did not respond to an email requesting comment.

The nursing homes agreed to buy pharmacy-related goods and services for their residents, the complaint

states, exclusively from Chem Rx, from April 2013 to March 2020.

In June 2018, the complaint states, Middletown, Salem Hills and Waterview stopped placing orders. In September 2018, Sky View did the same.

The nursing homes had not objected to invoices

before payments were due, Chem Rx claims, and then allegedly refused repeated demands for payments.

Chem Rx also claims the nursing homes have been, or will be, reimbursed by Medicare for a significant portion of the goods and services provided.

The pharmacy company

accuses the nursing homes of unjust enrichment and breaches of contract for failure to pay bills and improper termination of the contracts.

Middletown Park is in Middletown. Salem Hills and Waterview are in Purdys. Sky View is in Croton-on-Hudson.

All four are owned by limited liability companies

controlled by Jozefovic and Mark Neuman. Also holding interests in one or more of the nursing homes, according to the complaint, are Samuel Brach, Robert Fagenson, Gerald Neuman, Baruch Singer and Michael Stynes.

Chem Rx is represented

by Louisville law firm Fultz Maddox Dickens.

Will Facebook’s Libra tip the cryptocurrency scales?

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

I

n January 2018, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg used his blog to ponder the concept of cryptocurrency and its socioeconomic implications.

“There are important counter-trends to this — like encryption and cryptocurrency — that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people's hands,” he wrote. “But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies and how best to use them in our services.”

Last month, Zuckerberg’s pondering became a reality when Facebook formally announced Libra, which it dubbed a “new decentralized blockchain, a low-volatility cryptocurrency, and a smart contract platform that togeth-

er aim to create a new opportunity for responsible financial services innovation.”

Almost immediately, the news of Libra’s creation generated a firestorm of angry comment out of Washington, D.C., led by President Donald Trump tweeting that Libra “will have little standing or dependability. If Facebook and other companies want to become a bank, they must seek a new Banking Charter and become subject to all Banking Regulations, just like other Banks.”

Some of the president’s staunchest political rivals echoed his skeptical sentiments. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, accused Facebook of creating a project that “raises serious privacy, trading, national security, and monetary policy concerns for consumers, investors, the U.S. economy and the global economy.” And Sen. Sherrod

Brown (D-OH), the ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, declared, “Facebook's motto is move fast and break things. They've moved fast and are helping to undermine our democracy. Now they're expecting us to trust them with our paychecks.”

Perhaps a clarification is needed.

Libra is not a Facebook subsidiary. Instead, it is being administered by the Libra Association, a Switzerland-

based entity consisting of 28 founding members, including Facebook, Mastercard, Visa, eBay, Lyft, Spotify, Uber Technologies, Vodafone Group, Coinbase Inc. and the nonprofit Women’s World Banking.

Facebook will not run Libra, but will have a single vote in its governance along with the other founding members. Facebook said it hoped to expand the founding membership base to 100 before Libra’s planned official launch in 2020.

Ben Ho, an economics professor at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, observed that the governance of Libra stands in contrast to other entities in the sector.

“Libra isn't quite the same as most cryptocurrencies on the market since control is centralized,” he said. “This actually makes sense to me.

The decentralized nature of most crypto makes it incredibly costly and slow. More

centralization does mean we need more trust, but that's not a big deal. We trust institutions like banks all the time.”

The core of this initiative is a currency unit called the libra. The association’s website stated its aim is to make the libra “as widely accepted and as easy to use as possible to create a currency that people can use with confidence and convenience in their everyday lives.”

But Neil Howe, head of the demography sector at Hedgeye Risk Management in Stamford, was confused when the Libra project was first unveiled.

“I didn’t know what to think of it,” mused Howe. “I didn’t know if it was a cryptocurrency or a Venmo-like thing as a means of funds transfer.”

Most cryptocurrencies are produced through a process called “mining,” which uses special software to solve computationally challenging

puzzles. Units are mined in blocks and anyone can participate in building the block chain. Libra, however, is designed to have the backing of what it dubbed a “basket of currencies and assets,” including U.S. securities, which is meant to provide a degree of financial stability that is often absent in the volatile cryptocurrency space.

The Facebook subsidiary Calibra is building a wallet application to enable Libra users to send funds to others or make purchases on Facebook and Instagram via Facebook’s WhatsApp and Messenger. Calibra will also function as a stand-alone app.

“It could make it easier to buy stuff advertised on the Facebook site,” Howe added.

At the moment, there are no plans to expand Libra into traditional retail, e-commerce or banking channels. And speaking of banks, there are none among the founding

Facebook —

Libra Association entities.

The Libra Association stressed the strength of its blockchain technology, citing its use of the Move programming language that puts a heavy emphasis on ensuring the security of the financial transactions. The organization’s website claimed that Move is designed to prevent assets from being cloned and can facilitate automatic proofs that transactions satisfy certain properties.

Unlike other cryptocurrencies, Libra will not be introduced as a permissionless blockchain, where access can be granted to anyone to run a validator node. Instead, it will go live as a permissioned blockchain, which means anyone who meets the technical requirements can run a vali-

dator node — in this case, the association’s founders.

Daniel Farkas, chairman of the Information Systems Department at Pace University in Pleasantville, believed this approach could mitigate the concerns that many people have about this technology and the financial vehicles it supports.

“It is probably good in the long run for the blockchain and cryptocurrency world,” he said. “This will make more people aware of what the technology is.”

“The attention that Facebook can bring to this industry is potentially unparalleled to any other company,” said Mark DiMichael, partner in the forensic, litigation and valuation services department at Citrin Cooperman, with offices in White Plains and Norwalk. “Virtually every-

body has a Facebook account, so this can bring cryptocurrency to the masses.”

But are the masses ready for this type of cryptocurrency, especially in this country?

“It is probably something that I will never use,” said Scott Acheychek, president of Rex Shares LLC in Fairfield, who noted that Libra could find more popularity in the developing world. “There should be some kind of global currency that addresses unbanked people. The World Bank estimated that there are 1.7 billion adults who are unbanked in the world, but two-thirds of them own a mobile phone.”

Hedgeye’s Howe theorized that Libra could be a significant player in the funds remittance market.

“International transfers are now stupidly expensive,” he

complained. “Big banks charge absurd amounts to immigrants and expatriates. There is no reason why that is so costly, and this could be an interesting way to get around it.”

But will it be able to circumvent existing systems and the regulations that shape their operations?

“We still have governments and governments are not willing to let their currencies go,” warned Nicholas Coriano, partner at Bridgeport-based Cervitude Inc. “There is going to be a lot of negotiation before it is commercially available.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is pushing back.

“Libra raises many serious concerns regarding privacy, money laundering, consumer protection and financial stability,” he told Congress earlier this month.

Powell is not completely dismissive, admitting Libra “does have potentially systemic scale. It needs a careful look, so I strongly believe we all need to be taking our time with this.”

Citrin Cooperman’s DiMichael was pleasantly surprised by Powell’s attention regarding the subject.

“I’m not sure that the Fed previously talked about cryptocurrency at all,” he said.

“I was happy to hear Chairman Powell say in his testimony to Congress that the Fed will hold Libra to ‘the highest standard,’ ” added Gordon Boronow, assistant professor of business at Nyack College. “I am not sure what that means, but I like the fact that they are watching developments closely.”

Yet there is still the Facebook connection, and

the company’s recent scandals involving data sharing, discriminatory practices in its housing advertisements and Russian interference in the 2016 election have not been forgotten, let alone forgiven, by many in Washington.

Jaime Urteaga, founder and CEO at Digital Chair Inc. in White Plains, believed this will prevent Libra from being perceived as a stand-alone entity rather than a Facebook tool.

“Everything points to Facebook,” he said. “It is going to be seen as their project.”

Hedgeye’s Howe predicted the Facebook connection could hobble Libra in gaining federal regulatory approval.

“Facebook is beginning to be the company everybody hates,” he quipped.

“Democrats hate it because it is big. Republicans hate it because it is California crazy.”

For many college students, time off is a chance to put down the books and take a vacation. But for those who are service-minded, who embody Iona College’s mission to “Move the World,” a break from school provides an opportunity for life-changing lessons as they venture to remote villages and impoverished communities around the globe in need of help.

The Iona in Mission program each year offers dozens of students, faculty and alumni opportunities to embark on community service projects in places as far away as Zambia, India, Peru, Puerto Rico, South Africa and Ireland, and as close as Mississippi; Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; Camden, New Jersey; and Bridgeport, Connecticut. The goal is to provide hands-on experience in helping people in poor and marginalized communities.

The work can consist of building homes, rebuilding areas devastated by natural disasters or taking care of the sick, undernourished, people with disabilities, immigrants and those in hospice care.

In an effort to help address this, Bridgeport-based Bank of America Charitable Foundation and the Housatonic Community College Foundation (HCCF) have teamed up to support women interested in entering tech careers.

The Bank of America Charitable Foundation recently awarded a $20,000 grant to HCCF to support women who are interested in pursuing a career in the manufacturing industry. With this funding, Housatonic Community College (HCC) will market its Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center program to women. This one-year educational program boasts hands-on experience and a 100% job placement rate.

Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.

The First County Bank Foundation recently granted $5,000 to STAR’s state-recognized Birth to Three Program.

Since the bank established its foundation in 2001, it has awarded more than $9 million in grants to assist with a range of causes – from education and elder care to hunger and affordable housing.

STAR is recognized statewide for

achieving positive results for children and for supporting their families.

A nonprofit organization, it has grown to include a full array of services for more than 600 individuals with disabilities, from birth to their senior years and their families.

First County Bank staff members Steven Ferguson, assistant vice presi-

dent of business development officer, and Wendy Macedo, assistant vice president and branch manager of First County Bank Norwalk, visited STAR Inc., Lighting the Way to award the agency a $5,000 grant to provide assistive technology resources for its early intervention and birth to three programs for young children with developmental delays and autism.
