Governor delivers Long Island agenda to local crowd BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) unveiled his Long Island agenda April 11 to a crowd of some 400 politicians, business leaders, local residents and students at Stony Brook University’s Student Activities Center. It was one of two stops statewide, where the governor personally highlighted regional spending for a local community. Overall, the $175 billion fiscal year 2020 budget holds spending at 2 percent. “This year’s budget builds on our progress and our momentum on Long Island, and it includes $18 billion for Long Island — the largest amount of money the state has ever brought back to the region, and we’re proud of it,” Cuomo said. Nearly half of the revenue that Long Island receives goes toward school aid and Medicaid, $3.3 billion and $6.9 billion collectively, according to Freeman Klopott in New York State’s Division of the Budget. But the spending plan funds several bold initiatives, such as an overhaul of the MTA and Long Island Rail Road and the phase in of free public college tuition for qualified students. Long Island Association president and CEO Kevin Law, who had introduced the governor, suggests looking at the enacted budget as five distinct categories: taxes, infrastructure, economic development, environmental protection and quality of life issues, such as gun safety reform.

On the tax front, Long Islanders, according to the governor’s report, pay some of the highest property tax bills in the United States. Over the last 20 years, Cuomo said, local property taxes rose twice as fast as the average income. “You can’t continue to raise taxes at an amount that is more than people are earning,” he said. His goal is to stabilize the tax base. On the federal level, the governor will continue to fight with other states the federal tax code, which last year limited taxpayers’ ability to deduct state and local taxes over $10,000 from their federal income tax returns. Long Island reportedly lost $2.2 billion. Otherwise, the governor considers his plan to be the most ambitious, aggressive and comprehensive agenda for Long Island ever. The budget’s regional development goals emphasize a commitment to Long Island’s research triangle: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Northwell Health, Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The governor envisions the Island as New York’s potential economic equivalent to California’s Silicon Valley. The objective is to bridge academic research with commercial opportunities. Some of the largest investments include $75 million for a medical engineering center at Stony Brook University, $25 million to Demerec Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor, $12 million for a new college of veterinary medicine at Long Island University Post, $5 million in additional research investments at Stony Brook University and $200,000 cybersecurity center at Hofstra University.

‘You can’t continue to raise taxes at an amount that is more than people are earning.’ — GOV. MARIO CUOMO Photo by Donna Deedy The New York State 2019-20-approved budget is reportedly among the toughest, according to Gov. Cuomo. Political divides, climate change and aging infrastructure complicate the mix. Big problems, he said, call for big solutions.

“I thank Governor Cuomo for investing in Long Island’s public schools, environmental protection efforts and our economy,” said state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport). Offshore wind initiatives will be announced

in the spring, with a goal of providing 9,000 megawatts of wind power by 2035. As part of Cuomo’s New Green Deal, the state target is 100 percent clean energy by 2040. BUDGET CONTINUED ON A5

Chemical 1,4-dioxane a health concern on Long Island BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

New York state is often regarded as having “the champagne of drinking water,” though in recent years water quality concerns have grown, especially on Long Island. A recent concern: 1,4-dioxane, a household chemical which is not yet regulated by the state. The chemical has been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a likely carcinogen associated with liver and kidney damage after a lifetime of exposure to contaminated drinking water. In March, 1,4-dioxane was found in private drinking wells of two homes on Oakside Drive in Smithtown where results showed concentrations higher than 1 part per billion, which is the proposed recommendation by the New York State Drinking Water Quality Council in December 2018. It is not a definitive standard, and the state Health Department is expected to propose a water standard for 1,4-dioxane in the near future. Suffolk County Department of Health Services, beginning on March 25, sent informational letters and planned visits to the 29 homes served by the wells along Smithtown’s Landing Avenue, Oakside Drive and Valley Avenue. From there, each homeowner would set up an appointment with the SCDHS and its staff will come and secure water samples from the wells. Grace Kelly-McGovern, public relations director at SCDHS said as of April 10 every homeowner received a letter regarding the surveys and 16 of the wells at these homes have already been sampled. Three more homeowners have requested samplings, but the department has yet to receive a response from the other 10 homeowners. According to Kelly-McGovern, once the samples are collected they will be sent to the SCDHS lab, which is located in Hauppauge, and will be tested for 1,4-dioxane and other contaminants. The process should take one to two months. She added it could take several

months until homeowners are notified of the results of the samples. The problem with 1,4-dioxane is that it can’t be removed through conventional treatment methods. A complex process is needed, which involves mixing the contaminated water with hydrogen peroxide, treating it with ultraviolet light and then sending it to tanks filled with carbon where the rest of contaminants are filtered out. The Suffolk County Water Authority’s Central Islip treatment system currently has the sole advanced oxidation process system capable of removing 1,4-dioxane on Long Island, though it required state approval to get it. At a forum in early February, the Long Island Water Conference estimated the cost of treatment systems for close to 200 water wells contaminated by 1,4-dioxane to be at $840 million. Implementing these treatment systems, they said, could lead to higher water rates for homeowners. The conference coalition asked for additional state aid and for a delay in when they would have to meet the standard. As the issue for Long Island’s water providers continues, the SCWA board voted to create the first tiered-rate structure in the agency’s history April 1. The new rate structure took effect the same day and the base drinking water charge for all customers will increase from $1.95 per thousand gallons to $2.028 per thousand gallons. The new tiered rate will be $2.34 per thousand gallons for all consumption over 78,540 gallons per quarter. Customers will only pay the tiered rate on water above 78,540 gallons per quarter, and the standard rate up until that point. According to the authority, the action is in accordance with an initiative undertaken by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which established a goal for suppliers of reducing peak season water use by 15 percent by 2021 in order to ensure the sustainability of water resources. “Conservation rate structures have been adopted all across the country to encourage

Americans to adjust their water-use habits for the long-term preservation of available water resources,” Jeffrey Szabo, the SCWA chief executive officer said in a press release. “We expect the new rate structure to help protect ratepayers who are careful in their water use and help provide the continued viability of our aquifer system.” The 1,4-dioxane chemical has also been found in industrial solvents. A March study released by the Citizens Campaign for the Environment indicates the chemical is present in 65 of 80 household products tested, including baby products, shampoos, detergents and body washes. According to Adrienne Esposito, CCE executive director, the products were tested by the ALS environmental laboratory in Rochester which is certified by the state Department of Health. The CCE argues that the chemical could end up down the drain and seep into drinking water through septic systems or wells. Similarly, state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) has introduced a bill that would ban household products containing 1,4-dioxane in the state except in trace amounts. The bill is currently in committee.

Cuomo’s Long Island budget Continued from A3

Highlights of Gov. Cuomo’s 2019-20 budget for Long Islanders

Taxes: Permanently limits local tax spending to 2 percent annually. The 2 percent property tax cap, first implemented in 2012, has reportedly saved Long Island taxpayers $8.7 billion. Now that the property tax cap has become permanent, the governor reports that the average Suffolk taxpayer will save an estimated $58,000 over the next 10 years. The budget also supports the phase in of middle-class tax cuts. By 2025, under the reforms, middle-class filers will save up to 20 percent income tax rate and impact 6 million filers. Internet taxation: Requires internet purchases to charge sales tax to fairly compete with brick-and-mortar retail establishments. This reform is expected to raise sales tax revenue by $33 million for Suffolk County in 2019. LIRR reforms: Dedicates $2.5 billion to the Long Island Rail Road. $734 million will be used to purchase 202 new trains, $47 million will fund the Ronkonkoma train storage expansion project, which adds 11 tracks to the railyard. Another $264 million is allocated to reconfiguring and rebuilding the Jamaica station. An additional 17 stations will also be upgraded. A third track will be added between Hicksville and Floral Park to address bottlenecking. Many projects are already underway and expected to be completed by 2022. The new LIRR Moynihan Train Hall will become an alternative to Penn Station in New York City. It will be located in the old post office building. Construction is underway with completion targeted for the end of 2020. The cost is $2.5 billion with $600,000 million allocated for 2020. A new LIRR entrance at mid-block between 33rd Street and 7th Avenue will also be built at a price tag of $425 million. School aid: Increases school aid to $3.3 billion, a nearly 4 percent uplift. The 2020 budget includes a $48 million increase of foundation aid. College tuition: Funds tuition-free education in public colleges to qualified students, whose families earn less than $125,000 annually. The program annually benefits more than 26,100 full-time undergraduate residents on Long Island. The DREAM Act: Offers $27 million to fund higher education scholarships for undocumented children already living in New York state. Higher education infrastructure: Spends $34.3 million for maintenance and upgrades at SUNY higher education facilities on Long Island. Downtown revitalization: Awards Ronkonkoma $55 million for a downtown revitalization project. Nassau County will receive $40 million to transform a 70-acre parking lot surrounding Nassau Coliseum into a residential/commercial downtown area with parkland, shopping and entertainment,

where people can live and work. Hicksville, Westbury and Central Islip will also receive $10 million each to revitalize its downtowns. Roads and bridges: Among the initiatives, $33.6 million will be used toward the Robert Moses Causeway bridge. Safety will be enhanced with guardrails along Sunken Meadow Parkway for $4.7 million. The Van Wyck Expressway is also under expansion for improved access to JFK air terminals. Health care: Adds key provisions of the Affordable Care Act to state law, so health insurance is protected if Washington repeals the law. Plastic bag ban: Prohibits most single-use plastic bags provided by supermarkets and other retailers beginning in March 2020. Counties and cities can opt to charge 5 cents for paper bags. It is projected that 40 percent of revenue generated will fund local programs that purchase reusable bags for low- and fixed-income consumers. The other 60 percent will fund the state’s environmental protection projects. Food waste recycling program: Allocates $1.5 million to establish a clean energy, food waste recycling facility at Yaphank. Clean water initiatives: Awards Smithtown and Kings Park $40 million for installing sewer infrastructure. A shellfish hatchery at Flax Pond in Setauket will get an additional $4 million. The new budget offers $2 million to the Long Island Pine Barrens Commission and $5 million in grants to improve Suffolk County water supply. The Long Island South Shore Estuary will get $900,000, while Cornell Cooperative Extension will receive $500,000. The state will also fund another $100 million to clean up superfund sites such as the Grumman Plume in Bethpage. The state has banned offshore drilling to protect natural resources.

Criminal justice reform: Ends cash bail for nonviolent felonies and misdemeanors. Mandates speedy trial to reduce pretrial detention. Requires that prosecutors and defendants share discoverable information in advance of trial.

Letters to the editor

Reform school taxes

Dear friends and followers of the Elaine DiMasi 2018 Congressional campaign in New York: With excitement and also sadness, I would like to let you know that I am leaving our Long Island community for a new job in California. Specifically, I will be joining the leadership team for a $358M upgrade project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. After more than 20 years as a scientist and project leader in the national laboratory system, I am delighted to be joining terrific people and ready to return to the work I know best. Yet, this means saying farewell to so many of the wonderful connections I’ve made in our community here and to the chance of public service in elected office. My political mission in the future will be to help other scientists do an even

Editorial

Suffolk County homeowners pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation, with a typical bill estimated at $8,926. In New York City, the average property tax bill is $4,822 and across the United States it’s $3,018. Those are New York State’s numbers. It’s clear to everyone that the property tax burden has become unbearable on Long Island. It’s driving people away, impacting family budgets, and for homes that bear above average taxes, home values are plummeting. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said during an April 11 budget presentation at Stony Brook University that he recognizes the problem. He’s made it law that schools and communities in the state must limit budget increases to 2 percent. It will help … to a degree. He and other states have joined hands to lobby the president and congressional leaders to reinstate the state and local tax reduction write-off for federal income taxes. A bipartisan bill was introduced this week by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) to reinstate the deduction. If it passes, that will also help … to a degree. But these measures are merely band-aid solutions to a larger, chronic problem: income inequality. The tax burden has shifted from corporations and the wealthy to middle and lower classes. If state leaders want to help Long Island residents make ends meet, major changes need to take place, mainly in the way primary education is funded. Property taxes are largely used to fund local school districts. Local control is good, but the disparities from one community to the next indicate the problem. A simple Google search shows that in Southampton, for example, a six-bedroom home, built in 2006 that sits on 1.73 acres, is on the market for $2.6 million, with taxes totaling $6,458. In Kings Park, a two-bedroom home, built in 1960, situated on 0.13 of an acre, lists for $265,000, but incurs more property taxes: $7,056. New York needs a better system. In his budget speech, Cuomo got it right when he said if you don’t have it, you can’t pay for it. But governor has curiously not stepped in to help the Town of Huntington, which is facing legal proceedings with LIPA and National Grid. LIPA and National Grid want to reduce the tax burden on the Northport power plant by 90%. LIPA is a state entity created in 1997, when the state bailed out LILCO and its failed Shoreham nuclear project. Since then, LIPA has been reimbursing National Grid for its power plant’s property taxes. This case most dramatically impacts the Northport-East Northport School District and the 35,000 residents who live there. A Boston Globe article from 2014 reports that National Grid’s CEO saw a 50% salary increase from $5 million to $7.8 that year.

A goodbye to primary supporters and LI better job of running for office than my team and I were able to do. The voice and perspective of a trained scientist can do a world of good as part of a diverse legislative body. At the same time, a scientist often works at state and federal institutions, prohibiting a campaign. Scientists often do not hold jobs suitable for part-time hours or for repeated lengthy work stops. These obstacles can be overcome. And I have quite a few things to say about how our strategy should differ from the advice offered to candidates from other walks of life. To begin this mission, my team is preparing a video based on a talk invited by the Graduate Student Women in Science and Engineering at Stony Brook University last November. This video will be posted soon at www.elainedimasi.

Even now I have a backlog of messages to respond to, but please know that I read them all. I’m happy to take calls from my friends in the press, too. Before my dog Cozy and I make our drive across the country, please feel welcome to meet up at our VERY informal going-away party. We’ll be enjoying snacks and conversation — amid a chaos of packed boxes — at my home in Ronkonkoma, Saturday, April 20 beginning at 3 p.m. See www. elainedimasi.com/events for details. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart for all you do. Elaine DiMasi Former District 1 congressional primary candidate

More to blame in Yemen bombing The blame-America-first crowd is alive and well, this time in the person of Myrna Lee Gordon and her pacifist friends in the North Country Peace Group. [TBR News Media newspapers letter March 28.] The United States, we are told, shares the blame for the deaths of 40 children in Yemen, because Saudi Arabia used a bomb manufactured by Lockheed Martin to destroy the bus in which they were riding. No criticism, of course, is directed toward the Saudis, their government or their flight crews. No one claims that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an ideal partner in this troubled world. The recent assassination of Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi embassy in Turkey was a terrible and unforgivable crime, for which no one has yet been held accountable. Fifteen of the 19 September 11 hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi record with respect to human rights is deplorable and is condoned by no American citizen. And yet, despite these extremely disturbing shortcomings, which no one seeks to minimize, our government has found it necessary to form an alliance with

Saudi Arabia, because it is in our best interest as a nation to do so. The prime reason for this decision is to reinforce the balance of power in the Middle East, in which the nation of Iran is our leading adversary. Such an alliance is not without precedent. In World War II, for example, our allies included the Soviet Union, with whom we formed a coalition because we had a common purpose in defeating Nazi Germany and the Third Reich, in spite of the atrocities committed by Joseph Stalin with the intentional starvation of millions of Ukrainian civilians. President Franklin Roosevelt was correct in 1940 when he asserted that the United States was the “arsenal of democracy.” Today, Saudi Arabia is clearly not a democracy. The Saudis are, however, our military allies, and it is in our best national interest to see to it that they, along with our greatest Middle Eastern ally, Israel, maintain the strongest possible military presence in that troubled part of the world. Pursuant to this objective, we provide substantial military assistance to both of these countries. Part of this

support includes a number of laserguided MK82 bombs, manufactured by Lockheed Martin. These weapons are designed to be delivered to their intended targets with pinpoint precision, as was clearly demonstrated during our successful actions against ISIS, the Islamist terrorist organization that has now been defeated. It is unfortunate that one of these weapons was misused by another country, with tragic results. It is also unfortunate that the pacifists among us miss no opportunity to denigrate the armed forces of the United States, along with its commander in chief, President Donald Trump (R), our fine congressional representative, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), and a leading member of the arsenal of democracy, the great Lockheed Martin Corp. It would be wonderful indeed if the North Country Peace Group would express some degree of appreciation on behalf of the lives of potential victims of Iran, ISIS and other terrorist groups that we have saved, but that would surely be too much to ask.

The equivalent of a literary eye roll

W

hen we want to use a pronoun to refer to a deity, we use a capital letter out of respect, so that even if we’re writing about His will, we use the capital “H” in the middle of a sentence. For some, of course, the capital letter could also represent a female deity, as in, I thought I would get the job, but, apparently, She had other plans for D. None me. That’s so wonof the above derfully deferential BY DANIEL DUNAIEF that it shows that only supreme beings merit such grammatical greatness. But what about all the people we can’t

stand, whose ideas are ruining our day or, gasp, our country? We have long used symbols or faux letters, like an asterisk (*) to take the place of a letter or words we all know, so that we might write, “What the **** was he thinking when he cut me off for a parking spot at the supermarket?” Nowadays, though, I think the politics of personal animus requires more than a few letter abbreviation or a casual dismissal. We need the equivalent of a literary eye roll, which can show a level of antipathy and disrespect befitting the lack of humanity, the utter depravity or the absolute inanity that defines someone’s actions or words that make us grind our teeth or snarl in frustration. How about a super lower-case first letter of a pronoun, to make it clear that we don’t just disagree with someone, but we find that person so frustrating, evil, despicable, irritating and/ or ridiculous that the person doesn’t merit a customary human pronoun? Perhaps we need a

symbol that does the graffiti equivalent of writing that person’s name and spray painting an “X” or a thumbs-down sign over it. Instead of referring to the person people either love, hate or love to hate, as he or him, we could use a diminutive placeholder for the personal pronoun, like *e seems poised to start another war to satisfy his ego, or *is idea so completely lacked substance that it’s hard to argue with *im when *e hasn’t read any intelligence reports. On the other side, we might see a nemesis as unworthy of a typical pronoun, arguing that *he is preventing this great country from marching forward or *er ideas seem rooted in the word “no.” But, of course, this doesn’t have to be limited to the power elite in Washington, D.C. It can refer to anyone, allowing us to alter the personal pronoun in a way that underscores our distaste for the idea, the person, or *is or *er actions.

Let’s say we’re watching a Little League game and a mother, father, grandparent or just random fan comes by and heckles an umpire. That seems so utterly absurd that, in the retelling, we might want to point out how *is words set the wrong example, or *he made me throw up in my mouth. When we’re tapping out a text message to our friends, we might share our disgust that *he had the nerve to ask me if *er choice to date my best friend was OK. We might realize that this person seemed eager to train *er dog to use my lawn as a bathroom or that *e was telling me how to live my life when *e apparently has no idea how to live *is. These super lower-case pronouns can allow us to vent in code to our family and friends. We might suggest that *e is driving me crazy. If *e actually read the email or text, *e might have no idea that the subject of this diminutive pronoun is, in fact, *im.

‘The British are coming! The British are coming!’ Not really. Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year. So begins Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride,” about the famous midnight gallop that happened 244 years ago. The poem was first published in The Atlantic Monthly on January 1861, and I dutifully learned the first lines as a young student. As a result, every April Between 18 I think of Paul you and me Revere. Who, exactly BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF was Paul Revere? I know that he was a talented silversmith because I have seen some of his work, starting with teapots and

engravings, at antique shows. I also assumed that Revere was an ardent colonialist, hanging out with the likes of Samuel Adams and John Hancock, to whom he rode through the night in Concord to warn them of imminent capture by the British troops. That was about it until I did a little research, and here is what I found. Revere was born in Boston on either Dec. 21, 1734, or Jan. 1, 1735, depending on different calendar conversions. That still makes him 40 years old that famous night. His father was Apollos Rivoire, a French Huguenot immigrant who had come on his own at the age of 13 to the New World and eventually married Deborah Hitchborn, the Boston-born daughter of an artisan and wharf-owning family (whose last name was also spelled Hichborn and Hitchbourn). Revere, the third of 12 children, attended school from age 7 through 13 and then learned the silversmithing trade. He was married twice, having been widowed in 1773 and remarried that same year, which means he was little more than a newlywed the night of the ride. In addition to his work with silver, Revere did some dentistry to augment his income. He participated in the Boston Tea Party, during

which Bostonians threw tea into Boston Harbor from the holds of ships anchored there to protest against parliamentary taxation without representation. The colonists were increasingly angered by severe taxes imposed on them by their mother country to help repay the considerable debt Britain had incurred from fighting the French and Indian War. Revere, as a rider for Boston’s Committee on Safety, had devised a system of signals with lanterns to communicate the whereabouts of the British soldiers. Hence that night, the message was, “One, if by land, two, if by sea.” In a sense, Revere was Boston’s first media man. With others, he was aware that the British troops might shortly be on the move because on April 16, 1775, he rode out to Concord, Massachusetts, to urge the patriots there to move their military stores to a different location. On the night of April 18, Dr. Joseph Warren told Revere and William Dawes that the king’s troops were about to embark in boats from Boston to go to Cambridge, and from there to Lexington and Concord by road that night. Revere borrowed a swift mare named Brown Beauty,

and waited on the far bank of the Charles River for the signal from the steeple of the Old North Church. Revere and Dawes made the ride from different locations should one of them be blocked from leaving Boston. Revere, however, had the benefit of a distinguished publicist, Longfellow, who honored him accordingly. Also left out of the story was Dr. Samuel Prescott, who rode on to Concord after Revere was captured by a British patrol in Lexington. Revere soon escaped, while Dawes lost his horse and had to walk back to Lexington. But Prescott made it through to carry the warning. Revere and the others surely did not yell, “The British are coming!” despite tales to the contrary. They were, in the final analysis, all British. They probably said, “The redcoats are coming!” and they surely didn’t yell since British troops were stationed throughout the countryside. Such is the mystique of history. But “that famous day and year,” we know from ensuing battles, is true and to be celebrated this day.
