SUMMARY:Virtual Meeting: Joe Campolo\, Managing Partner\, Campolo\, Middleton & McCormick\, LLP
DESCRIPTION:Meeting with Joe Campolo\nOn July 10\, LIMBA Chairman Ernie Fazio joined Joe Campolo\, managing partner of the law firm Campolo\, Middleton & McCormick\, LLP\, to discuss the issues facing Long Island. The discussion focused on how local businesses were trying to stay afloat during the coronavirus pandemic.\nWhen President Trump and Governor Cuomo issued executive orders to shut down the economy\, Mr. Campolo said\, his firm set up a COVID-19 hotline for business owners to call and provided them free legal advice.\nMr. Campolo credited the federal government for its quick response with the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to help keep businesses operating and helping them retain their staff. In fact\, his firm helped owners fill out the paperwork and get the proper resources they needed.\nWhen the first round of PPP funds was distributed\, Mr. Campolo said\, not all business that applied received loans. However\, more businesses were able to receive funding during the second round. He also said that there is talk that the federal government will provide another round of funding in the amount of $1 trillion to the hospitality sector.\nMr. Fazio asked Mr. Campolo about the pandemic’s effect on the performing arts. Mr. Campolo replied that Broadway has shut down for the rest of the year and is expected to reopen in January 2021. He added that he saw it firsthand when Stony Brook University’s Staller Center for the Arts — of which he is a board member — had to host its annual film festival virtually.\nAnother topic was the schools and if students should return. Mr. Campolo said that students returning to school would be beneficial. By attending classes in person\, he said\, students receive “an increased level of education” when they socialize with each other; they begin to understand the value of networking and relationships when attending school. It is also important for parents\, he said\, because they need to get their children to school so they can get back to work.\nMr. Fazio asked if the manufacturing industry on Long Island is making a comeback. Mr. Campolo said it is; although defense giants such as Grumman and Fairchild are no longer in operation\, there are other manufacturing companies throughout the island that support the nation’s defense. He said the pharmaceutical industry has made “huge inroads” here on Long Island.\nThe last topic addressed was the pandemic’s effect on federal\, state and local governments\, with these entities running deficits and losing tax revenue. Mr. Campolo said these governments will need to make tough financial decisions and ask themselves how to address the coming debt problem while minimizing the tax impact on residents.

His environmental priorities include advancing policy and budgetary initiatives to improve the quality of our air and waters\, open space preservation\, recycling and sustainability\, and ramping up our efforts on the state level to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat the impacts of climate change including sea level rise\, ocean acidification\, and future extreme weather events.\nSteve Englebright is on the faculty of the Sustainability Studies Program at Stony Brook University.

When Supervisor Schaffer was first elected\, the Town of Babylon had the lowest bond rating on Long Island.

These include major overhauls in town parks and a focus in transit-oriented development. \nThe Town of Babylon has constructed important amenities for residents\, including new marinas\, spray parks and other outdoor facilities. The town is also working on revitalizing many of its downtown areas including creating transit oriented developments in Wyandanch\, Copiague and East Farmingdale as well as identifying and planning mini main street improvements in Deer Park\, West Babylon\, North Lindenhurst\, North Babylon\, Wheatley Heights and North Amityville. \nBorn on November 19\, 1963\, Rich Schaffer graduated from North Babylon High School in 1981\, attended SUNY Albany\, where he earned a B.A. in Political Science\, and attended Brooklyn Law School and passed the New York Bar Examination in 1992. \nProfessionally\, Supervisor Schaffer was elected to the Suffolk County Legislature in 1988\, 1989 and 1991\, before resigning the office to become Town of Babylon Supervisor the following year. Schaffer was sworn into office on his 29th birthday in 1992\, the youngest to serve as the town’s executive in the twentieth century. His first term as Supervisor lasted through 2001. \nWhen the position of Town Supervisor was made vacant in 2011 following then-Supervisor Steve Bellone’s victory as Suffolk County Executive\, Schaffer was unanimously appointed to fill the role by the Town Board. He won re-election in 2012\, 2013\, and most recently 2017\, receiving over 70% of the vote in each election. Supervisor Schaffer is the longest-serving Town Supervisor in Babylon’s history with his most recent stint. \nWithin months of returning to Town Hall\, the South Shore was devastated by Superstorm Sandy.

In doing so\, Supervisor Schaffer has created lasting partnerships with the Lindenhurst\, Amityville and Babylon Village governments to better serve constituents in those areas. \nSupervisor Schaffer owns a home in North Babylon and has served as Chairman of the Suffolk County Democratic Committee since September\, 2000.

SUMMARY:The Significance of the Census - Rebecca Sanin\, CEO & President of the Health and Welfare Council of Long Island
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Sanin is President and CEO of the Health and Welfare Council of Long Island. HWCLI serves the interests of poor and vulnerable people on Long Island by convening\, representing\, and supporting the organizations that serve them. She will discuss the importance of the Census. \nThe founding Fathers thought this data\, called the census\, was so important they mandated it as part of the Constitution. The first census after the American Revolution was taken in 1790\, under Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. There have been 22 federal censuses since that time. \nEvery ten years\, the U.S. Census Bureau tallyies up all the people living in the United States and records basic information such as age\, sex\, and race. Census figures are based on actual counts of persons dwelling in the U.S. including citizens\, non-citizen legal residents\, non-citizen long-term visitors and undocumented immigrants. \nThe census ensures that each community gets the right number of representatives in government. Because representation is based on population\, an up-to-date tally is essential. The census also helps with the equitable distribution of public funds\, as federal and state funding for things like educational programs\, healthcare\, law enforcement and highways is allocated in part based on population.
