SUMMARY:Assemblyman Steve Englebright - Is Our Environmental House in Order?
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1980s\, Steve Englebright helped lead the effort to preserve the Long Island Pine Barrens and is credited with articulating the connection between the preservation of the Pine Barrens ecosystem and protection of the sole source aquifer which it overlays as a public health imperative to safeguard the drinking water of 1.5 million people. His interest in the interface between science and society in the policy area of public health led him to public elected office where he has served in the Suffolk County Legislature and the New York State Assembly. \nAs the only natural scientist in the State Legislature\, Steve Englebright’s ability to translate technical concepts and findings into meaningful public policy has enabled him to craft policy that has relevance to our lives and health. As the Legislature’s leading proponent for the use of clean\, renewable energy\, Englebright authored New York’s first solar and wind net-metering laws in the 1990s and successfully pushed in 2008 for the expansion of solar net-metering to include all utility customer classes. These laws now provide the necessary foundation on which to ramp up New York’s renewable energy production. \nIn February 2015\, Assemblyman Englebright was appointed Chair of the Assembly Committee on Environmental Conservation. 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. He received his BS from the University of Tennessee in 1969 and an MS in Geology (Paleontology/Sedimentology) from Stony Brook. \nAssemblyman Englebright has been on the forefront on environmental issues for as long as he has been in elected office.

SUMMARY:Babylon Town Supervisor Richard Schaffer
DESCRIPTION:A graduate of North Babylon High School\, Town Supervisor Rich Schaffer has spent most of his professional career serving Babylon residents. \nKnown for his accessibility\, Supervisor Schaffer frequently gives residents his personal cell phone number and personally responds to concerns on his Facebook page. \nUnder Supervisor Schaffer’s leadership\, Quality of Life is Job #1 for the Town of Babylon. The Town’s Quality of Life Task Force has resulted in a crackdown on businesses\, homes and landlords that do not follow the Town Code. Other critical functions of the Task Force include eradicating abandoned homes and illegal activities such as drug use and alcohol sales to minors\, as well as identifying and keeping tabs on sex offenders. \nSupervisor Schaffer is also committed to protect taxpayers through fiscally responsible management. When Supervisor Schaffer was first elected\, the Town of Babylon had the lowest bond rating on Long Island. Thanks to responsible leadership\, Babylon recently earned its first AAA rating from Moody’s Investment Services\, the highest rating offered. \nThe foundation for the Town’s turnaround was Supervisor Schaffer’s efforts to create a commercial garbage district for the town. This initiative saved tens of millions of taxpayer dollars\, eliminated corruption by garbage cartels\, and created a revenue stream to invest into critical long-term projects. 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. Assisting residents in rebuilding their homes and businesses was one of Supervisor Schaffer’s earliest tasks\, which he continues to do to this day. 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.

SUMMARY:Steve Levy - Former County Executive now Executive Director\, Center for Cost Effective Government
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Cost Effective Government is committed toward the goal of bringing about an end to burdensome state and federal mandates that crush local governments and the business community. \nState laws requiring mandatory arbitration\, the Triborough doctrine (which continues all benefits and step increases of a contract even after it has expired)\, over-reaching workers compensation rules and unsustainable pension systems have caused property taxes to soar and many businesses to fold. \nThe Center will promote the elimination and/or consolidation of superfluous taxing districts\, public/private partnerships\, higher academic standards\, purchasing consortiums\, and government reform by petitioning for impartial panels to redraw electoral district lines. If you agree with our platform\, we welcome you to the fight.
