DenDekker Announces Traffic Signal Approvedfor Dangerous Intersection in Jackson Heights

Thanks to the efforts of thecommunity, AssemblymemberMichael DenDekker, and the NewYork City Department of Trans-portation (NYCDOT), an intersec-tion in Jackson Heights, Queens,will now become much safer.

On July 20, 2010,Assemblymember DenDekker wasinformed by the NYCDOT that anadditional traffic signal will be in-stalled at the intersection of 31st

Avenue and 86th Street in Jackson

Heights. According to the Officeof the Queens Borough Commis-sioner, the work is tentativelyscheduled for completion by No-vember 30, 2010.

“First, I want to thank theNew York City Department ofTransportation for its attentionto this serious safety issue,”Assemblymember DenDekkerstated. “This new traffic signalat 31st Avenue and 86th Streetwill make this dangerous inter-

section a much safer place, espe-cially for pedestrians.”

Earlier this year, theNYCDOT undertook a study ofthe intersection in response to arequest from AssemblymanDenDekker’s office. “I encour-age all residents to contact myoffice if they see places where wecan improve transportation sys-tems and enhance safety in the34th Assembly district,” Assem-blyman DenDekker concluded.

NEW REP. MALONEY REPORT SUPPORTSNEED FOR “MAKE IT IN AMERICA” AGENDA

The U.S. manufacturing sec-tor added jobs in each month in thefirst half of 2010, following morethan two years of unrelenting em-ployment losses. A new reportreleased today by the U.S. Con-gress Joint Economic Committee(JEC) examines this rebound whileemphasizing that targeted policiesare warranted to support the frag-ile expansion of the manufacturingsector.

“During this Great Recession,close to 3 million U.S. manufac-turing workers lost their jobs. Likethe country as a whole, New York’smanufacturing base was deeplyaffected by the economic down-turn,” said JEC Chair Representa-tive Carolyn Maloney. “Our re-port highlights the very reason whyI’ve strongly supported the ‘MakeIt In America’ legislative agenda

that has been working its waythrough Congress. This agendaincludes policies that will boostdemand, create jobs, and ensurethat there is a level playing field forproducts made in the U.S.”

The report, titled “Understand-ing the Economy: Promising Signsof Recovery in Manufacturing,”also finds that while manufactur-ing employment gradually declinedsince its peak of 19.6 million em-ployees in 1979, this decline greatlyaccelerated from February 2001 toFebruary 2009. During this timeperiod, 4.7 million manufacturingjobs were lost – more than 27 per-cent of employment within the sec-tor.

“The economic policies of theBush Administration clearly didn’thelp this sector of our economy,”added Maloney. “However, the

policies we have enacted duringthe past year and a half have con-tributed to the growth in manufac-turing that we have now seen forsix consecutive months. But, I amcommitted to further supportingthis expanding sector of oureconomy, which is vital toAmerica’s global competitivenessand a key source of good-payingjobs.”

Only 9,000 manufacturing jobswere added in June 2010, the small-est monthly gain during the firstsix months of 2010. Rep. Maloneyhas been working with her col-leagues on the “Make It InAmerica” agenda, which is aimedat fostering innovation and rebuild-ing America’s manufacturing base.Rep. Maloney has strongly sup-ported each of the five “Make It In

PROTECTING NEW YORK’S WATER& HOLDING GAS CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE:Senate Bill Mandates Moratorium to allow for Comprehensive Study of Drilling in Marcellus Shale

Continuing to put public safety overspecial interests, the Senate DemocraticMajority passed a moratorium on gas drill-ing in the Marcellus Shale to prevent thepotentially hazardous contamination of thestate’s water supply. Through the morato-rium, gas and oil companies would berestricted from hastily endangering thehealth and economic well-being of morethan 12 million local residents who drawtheir water from the affected area by en-gaging a process known as hydraulic frac-turing or hydro-fracking.

This moratorium (S8129B/Thompson)is effective through May 15, 2011, providingthe state much-needed opportunity to fullyreview the potential side effects of this kindof drilling. Hydro-fracking is the process ofbreaking apart the rock under the earth, inwhich some natural resources are trapped, byforcing millions of gallons of waters mixedwith chemicals into the ground. These chemi-cals then work their way into the regularwater supply.

The side effects of this process are ex-traordinarily costly and personally devas-tating, as families across Pennsylvania andother states have learned after rushing intodrilling. On top of the economic and healthconcerns, there are considerable safety haz-ards within the untested drilling process;earlier this month a well in Pennsylvaniaexploded taking two lives. In May, an ex-plosion at another well took another life.

Senator Antoine Thompson (D-parts ofErie and Niagara Counties), chair of theSenate’s Environmental Conservation Com-mittee said, “In a recent round of hearings,the DEC received more than 14,000 com-ments on this issue. More time is needed todigest those comments and make an informedjudgment if adequate safeguards can be put inplace to allow hydro-fracking while still pro-tecting our valuable and irreplaceable freshwater. The decisions we make on this issuewill determine the economic and environ-mental vitality of communities across thestate for decades to come. In light of the Gulfof Mexico drilling disaster, my colleaguesand I believe that a 10 month delay to get itright is prudent and necessary.”

Senate Majority Conference Leader JohnL. Sampson said, “Keeping New Yorkerssafe means preserving the sanctity of theiraccess to clean, drinkable water. We do not

need to look any further than the devastationin the Gulf of Mexico to realize that there isno financial benefit worth risking the safetyof New York’s water supply. Much of theSouthern Tier, Central New York, theHudson Valley, and New York City all drawtheir water from the area proposed to beexplored from the Marcellus Shale. That iswhy we must fully understand the impact ofdrilling, and potential consequences, beforebreaking ground. I applaud Senator Thomp-son and the many advocates and residentswho fought tirelessly for this legislation.”

Mark Ruffalo, a Hudson Valley home-owner, actor and advocate on this issue said,“As a resident of Sullivan county I amrelieved the state senate stepped up to theplate to institute sound, common sense policyon the issue of hydro-fracking. Protectingmy family and neighbors and friends is whyI have dedicated my time to raising aware-ness on this issue of critical importance.”

Susan Zimet, Co-Director Frack Actionand Ulster County Legislator said, “Albanyhas proven that when the will is there to dothe right thing, they can come through withflying colors. Thank you Senator Sampsonand the Democratic majority for bringingthis critical legislation to the floor for a vote.And a special thank you to those RepublicanSenators whose vote put this over the top.”

Julia Walsh, Co-Director Frack Actionsaid, “I look forward to a swift passage ofthis bill through the Assembly and theGovernor’s signature. By enacting this mora-torium New York State once again proves tobe a leader on issues affecting the public’shealth, welfare and environment”

Marcellus Shale is a black, low density,organic rich shale that was formed by thesedimentation of marine, mud and clay de-posits from ancient river deltas across theAppalachian Basin approximately 350 to415 million years ago. It exists up to 9,000feet below ground mainly beneath New York,Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia.

In order to allow the gas to escape throughthe pore space, drillers create artificial frac-tures in the shale, predominately using amethod called hydro fracturing by injecting amixture of water, sand and gel at extremelyhigh pressure to crack and prop open the shale.

Statement from Speaker Quinn:I want to thank the New York State Senate for passing the hydraulic fracturing

moratorium bill last night. Hydraulic fracturing is an extremely haphazard practice thatstands to put the City’s drinking water supply and, in turn, the lives and welfare of NewYork City residents at great risk. It is critical that we put an end to this practiceimmediately, at least until the practice has been studied in far greater detail and thequestions concerning its potential threats have been answered. I stand firmly with CityCouncil Environmental Protection Committee Chair Jim Gennaro and my fellowCouncil Members in our commitment to protecting New York City’s water supply. I callon the New York State Assembly and Governor Paterson to build on the State Senate’smomentum and see that this bill is signed into law.

Statement from Environmental ProtectionCommittee Chair James F. Gennaro:

The passage of the hydraulic fracturing moratorium bill by the New York StateSenate last is an historic victory for all New Yorkers. For two years, Speaker ChristineQuinn and I have advocated relentlessly against the environmental perils of hydraulicfracturing and demanded that the state take strong measures to protect New York City’sdrinking water supply watershed and drinking water supplies throughout the state.Speaker Quinn and I urge the Assembly to follow the lead of the Senate and for GovernorPaterson to sign this historic first-in-the-nation hydraulic fracturing moratorium bill. I,Speaker Quinn and our Council colleagues promise to continue our relentless advocacyto protect water supplies from hydraulic fracturing, to ensure that the U.S. Environmen-tal Protection Agency undertakes its proposed national study of hydraulic fracturing,and to see that strict and comprehensive regulations are ultimately instituted so that gascompanies conduct their operations in an environmentally responsible manner and areheld liable for any contamination they may cause.

In a eye-opening and spiritedaddress to the “small businessowners and aspiring entrepreneurs”invitees, Velázquez noted new fed-eral loan guarantees for the lendersmaking loans considerably less ofa risk for them. “We are givingentrepreneurs the tools to do whatthey do best, create the ideas andthe jobs that our economy needs.”

The distinguished Jorge Silva-Puris, Region II Administrator ofthe US Small Business Adminis-tration introduced the Congress-woman. Joining her panel, whichwas star studded, if judged on thebasis of getting face-to-face accessto the right people for crucial in-formation, was the energetic BrianGurski, who moderated. Gurskiheads the federal-funded SmallBusiness Development Center atLaGuardia Community College(h t tp : / / l aguard iasbdc .o rg) .LaGuardia’s Center is well knownlocally and dispenses business ad-vice and services, free.

From the lending roster, andthose who connect borrowers withlenders, was Linda Zou, VP NYBusiness Development Corpora-tion (www.nybdc.com) whoseseeming total recall was impres-sive.

While all speakers emphasizedthat all loans require borrowerswith a track record, timely pay-ment of debt, a less-than-dreadfulcredit history, one’s own moneyalso at risk, spiffy business plansand paperwork ready, it was ap-parent that all in the assembledlenders counted it as a plus if theycould actually make a loan – notfeedback entrepreneurs often ex-perience. The smaller lenders hadless strict standards in some cases,and advised contacting them formore information. They agreed thatthe main reason for a delay in quickdecisions was due to paperworkarriving so slowly that anothercredit check had to be performed.

With all items in place, most deci-sions would be made in ten busi-ness days.
