SUMMARY:Virtual Event: High Speed Rail Connecting the Midwest - Rick Harnish\, Executive Director\, High Speed Rail Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\nHigh-speed rail strikes at the core of today’s biggest challenges with our environment\, the economy and fragmented communities. The High Speed Rail Alliance is working to bring the game-changing power of fast\, frequent and affordable trains to North America. We believe that high-speed trains\, integrated with expanding transit networks\, will revitalize cities\, towns and regions by making visits to family\, friends and business partners easier\, more productive and more affordable\, while dramatically reducing carbon emissions in the process. \nRick Harnish co-founded the High Speed Rail Alliance in 1993 with a passion for revitalizing the region he grew up in\, lives in\, and loves. The Alliance builds the political will for systemic change by advocating for integrated rail and transit networks connected by 200+ mph high-speed lines. By connecting cities\, towns and airports\, the high-speed trains will dramatically expand economic opportunities and slash carbon emissions. \nA native of the Chicago area\, Harnish has been MHSRA’s executive director since 2001. His perspective on trains and transportation policy has appeared in Bloomberg\, the Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, Politico\, Governing\, the Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Magazine\, Crain’s Chicago and many other publications\, in addition to various NPR programs. He has achieved notable successes and progress in MHSRA’s three focus areas: advocacy\, education\, and research. \nHarnish’s work is informed by his strong commitment to researching and learning from global best practices. He has ridden high-speed trains—often in the context of leading small groups—in Belgium\, China\, England\, France\, Germany\, Italy\, Japan\, South Korea\, Spain\, and Turkey\, and he draws on a global network of colleagues with expertise in trains and transportation policy. \nRegister Here\n

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.
