‘SOMETHING VERY HISTORIC’

POT PHARMACY DEBUTS IN WHITE PLAINS

Dr. Laura Bultman displays a vaporizer used to inhale cannabis oil and other medical marijuana products at the new Vireo Health of New York medical marijuana dispensary in White Plains.

ri Hoffnung, CEO of Vireo Health of New York, stood before a row of cameras and notebook-wielding reporters in the waiting room of the drug dispensary that his company was to open in less than 48 hours in downtown White Plains at the start of the state’s medical marijuana program. Behind him, workers put the final touches to the corner office at 221-223 E. Post Road, where an ID checkpoint for visitors in a locked entry alcove and 24-hour video surveillance pointed to the precautions and state-imposed regulatory controls that accompanied the program’s launch on Jan. 7.

A former managing director at Bear Stearns until the investment bank’s financial collapse in 2008 who later served as a New York City deputy comptroller, Hoffnung last November joined Vireo Health of New York, one of five winners among 43 applicants for the state’s first medical marijuana manufacturing and dispensing licenses. His own New York City company, Fiorello Pharmaceuticals Inc., which he founded two years ago and led as CEO until his move to Vireo, was among the losers in Albany last summer with its failed bid to build a medical cannabis facility in Schenectady County.

Software company leaving NJ for Start-Up NY SYNCSORT PARTNERS WITH IONA COLLEGE

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

N

ew Jersey’s loss is a gain for metropolitan New York and its technology sector, as Iona College has found in the Garden State its first business partner in the Empire State’s

2-year-old Start-Up NY economic development program.

That partner, though, will not be moving to the college’s urban campus in New Rochelle but instead to a Rockland County office park where Iona’s Hagan School of Business has a graduate center for students pursuing

MBA degrees.

Iona officials and Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month announced that Syncsort Inc., a big-data software provider for industries with an international list of clients, will relocate its headquarters from Woodcliff Lake in New Jersey’s Bergen County to Blue Hill Plaza, a two-building, 1.1 million-square-foot office park in Pearl River. Syncsort has leased 50,000 square feet of space in 2 Blue Hill Plaza, the six-story, 550,000-square-foot office building where Iona operates its Rockland Graduate Center.

Syncsort CEO Lonne Jaffe

said the company expects to make the 6-mile move across the state border in late spring after a build-out of the Pearl River headquarters. The company told state officials it will invest $2,895,000 in its New York location.

Jaffe said Syncsort has about 145 employees at its Woodcliff Lake headquarters, and he expects all to stay with the company when it relocates within a roughly 15-minute commute from its current location.

Operating in a designated Start-UP NY area, the company will pay no state taxes for 10 years. Employees residing in New York will pay no state per-

sonal income taxes for the first five years at Syncsort’s new location.

For the second five years, employees will be exempt from state taxes on income up to $200,000 for individuals, $250,000 for a head of household and $300,000 for taxpayers filing a joint return.

Jaffe said the state income tax exemption could be an incentive for some Syncsort employees to move from New Jersey to New York. “That’s another ancillary potential benefit for New York,” said Jaffe, a New York City resident and former IBM Corp. executive.

Confidence up, affordability not so much Home cost burdens and financing focus of Pattern housing market report

WCBJ

WESTCHESTER COUNTY

BUSINESS JOURNAL

BY COLLEEN WILSON ®

cwilson@westfairinc.com

R

esearchers at Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress analyzed the sluggish housing market recovery with new post-recession numbers and found that residents are starting to show confidence in home financing again, but are paying more than what is considered affordable for their homes.

The authors of the new report arrived at those conclusions about the Hudson Valley housing market — nine counties comprised of Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester — from two distinctive data sets.

The first group of data breaks down the number of loan applications for mortgages, refinancing and home improvement.

Trends in these loan documents are highlighted during three individual years over a six-year period. More specifically, Pattern’s authors analyzed the fluctuations in loan applications starting in 2007, or the pre-Great Recession period, followed by 2010, the Great Recession, and 2013, the post-Great Recession.

Though each county’s mortgage application numbers wavered uniquely during the six-year period, all nine regions revealed two overall trends: From 2007-10, the number of conventional mortgage loan applications decreased significantly and during the postrecession period, from 2010-13, the number of applications for the same loans increased, but not quite to pre-recession levels.

Coming out of the recession in Sullivan County, the number of mortgage loan applications filed in 2013 was 435, a fraction of the 2,022 submitted pre-recession in 2007 and only 16 more than the 419 filed during the recession in 2010.

Westchester County, on the other hand, saw 11,315 loan applications filed in 2013. Up 38 percent from 2010 when 8,226 were filed, but still not close to pre-recession levels when 21,317 mortgage loan applications were submitted.

The authors observed that regionally, “The 23,208 conventional loan applications in 2013 is not even half (just 44 percent) of the 52,609 such applications in 2007.”

Joseph Czajka, senior vice president of Pattern for Progress, said the slow increase in conventional mortgage applications is an indication of general stagnation, but that the increase in applications from recession levels shows that people are beginning to have more confidence in the economy again.

“There’s a combination of things that happened here. One of the items is that housing prices have fallen, interest rates are still at historic lows right now and although the pendulum hasn’t swung to pre-recession under-

writing it has swung back a bit,” Czajka said.

The rate of government loan program applications fluctuated in the reverse as mortgage applications during the six-year period, meaning homeowners were seeking more government help in 2013 than before the recession.

The other application data that Pattern, which is based in Newburgh, looked at is refinancing and home improvement loans.

Applications to refinance declined during and after the recession in the nine-county region, which the report’s authors said is likely because interest and mortgage rates have stayed low.

Changes in home improvement loan submittals varied greatly by county. However, across the Hudson Valley, the number of applications was still significantly lower in 2013 compared with 2007. More specifically, the number of applications for loans to update homes was 77 percent lower overall in 2013, at 3,999 applications, than in 2007 when 17,503 applications were submitted.

Czajka said this illustrates that the economy is still in recovery mode.

“We are looking at wages being a bit more stagnant and not rising that much,” he said, adding “although the unemployment rate is low, it’s not indicative of what’s going on in the market. There are a lot of people who are underemployed or who have stopped looking and the unemployment rate doesn’t capture those.”

The second data set, which uses U.S. Census Bureau numbers, determined that low-income individuals in the Hudson Valley are renting or owning homes beyond their means.

The authors assumed that affordable home costs, like rent or mortgage payments,

should be less than 30 percent of an individual’s monthly income. Up to 50 percent of monthly income that goes toward home payments is considered unaffordable and more than 50 percent is severely unaffordable.

In the nine-county region, low-income renters or owners — those who make 80 percent or less of the median income in their area — are paying far more than they can afford for housing.

This is especially true in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties where at least 50 percent of each county’s low-income renters and homeowners, averaged together, were severely burdened by home living costs.

Czajka said this is in part because there’s not enough affordable housing in those three counties.

“A majority of the new rental developments in the southern part of the Hudson Valley are geared toward luxury and high-end, but I would not say that (the market is) becoming saturated” with those kinds of homes, he said.

However, if more affordable housing does not become available, Czajka said extra spending could become restricted for many people, which would affect local and regional economies.

Czajka said municipalities that have turned down housing developments could also start to see a decrease in population, which would impact school enrollment.

“When the enrollment in schools drops to a certain level you now have a school building that’s empty, less residents, less taxes are being collected,” he said. “When you have population decline, businesses don’t do as well, less people shopping, less people on the main street,” therefore, Czajka said, “The region has to pay attention to that.”

Schneiderman vs. daily fantasy sports saga continues

BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

N

ew York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman has called them each an “unlawful gambling business” operating in his state.

DraftKings, Inc. and FanDuel, Inc. have called Schneiderman’s collective actions against them a “strong-arm campaign of coercion.”

With no agreement in sight, both sides have taken action against one another, one in attempt to ensure its future in New York, the other to ensure its demise in the Empire State.

Schneiderman filed suit on Dec. 31 against both Boston-based DraftKings and New Yorkbased FanDuel, ordering the fantasy betting sites to return to customers $200 million they have earned in entry fees from daily fantasy games since they began operating in

New York in 2012.

The suit, which follows the attorney general’s cease-and-desist order sent to the companies in November, also calls on the sites to pay fines of up to $5,000 each.

Both companies on Jan. 4 countered with motions to continue business in New York during a stay of injunction by an appeals judge last month.

David Boies, an attorney representing DraftKings, said that of the roughly 2.5 million total players in the company’s contests, 375,000 customers, or 15 percent, are in New York. As of Nov. 16, New York customers had paid more than $99 million in entry fees in 2015, which generated more than $10 million in revenue.

In a Jan. 4 brief, Boies, the chairman of Armonk law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, argued that DraftKings would lose millions of dollars in revenue should it be forced to cease business in New York as well as

would see its business partnerships with the New York Yankees, New York Mets, New York Giants and the New York Knicks harmed.

“Should DraftKings cease operations in New York, it will suffer severe economic harm with no ability to recover damages from the NYAG,” Boies said in his brief.

In its November daily fantasy sports industry update, Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, LLC, a California firm that tracks the gaming sector, said New York accounts for 12.8 percent of the industry’s national figures, making it the most popular state for the game. It estimated FanDuel and DraftKings generated between $35 and $40 million in New York in 2015.

Schneiderman alleges the gaming companies violated several penal laws, including promoting gambling in both the first and second degree, possessing gambling records while operating a bookmarking enterprise, false advertising and several business laws,

which gives Schneiderman the authority to shut the companies down.

He also alleges the companies have engaged in fraud stemming from the misrepresentation of the degree of skill in games, deposit bonuses, likelihood of winning a jackpot and the labeling of games as something other than gambling.

Schneiderman launched an investigation into both companies in October after allegations surfaced that employees of the website used information to gain an advantage in winning fantasy games. A cease-and-desist letter was delivered to both companies on Nov. 10, which sparked a series of legal battles that began in state Supreme Court in Brooklyn and have now made their way to the appellate division of state Supreme Court in Manhattan.

After state Supreme Court Justice J. Mendez on Dec. 11 granted Schneiderman’s preliminary injunction to block either companies from accepting entry fees, wagers or bets in New York, a successful appeal allowed the competitors to continue business during the stay of injunction. The recently amended lawsuit he first filed in November was amended earlier this month.

“DraftKings exploits the good will associated with this game,” Schneiderman said in the suit. “Unlike the season-long competition played mostly for bragging rights or side wagers, DraftKings runs a casino-style gambling operation.”

Contestants can choose between either daily fantasy sports contests, which can last from a day to a week, or season-long fantasy sports, where they assemble teams and “own” players at certain positions for the length of the season. Throughout the season, “owners” can alter lineups; assign positions; and trade, release and sign players, which most involved in the case seem to agree involves a greater level of skill than daily games.

The companies offer daily contests involving National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League, National Basketball Association, Professional Golfers’ Association, Mixed Martial Arts and other competitions. Schneiderman has argued that daily games equate to gambling rather contests of skill, as attorneys representing the two fantasy juggernauts have contended.

Bob Hyland, owner of Bob Hyland’s Sports Page Pub in White Plains, said the majority of his customers who do participate in fantasy sports play the season-long variety. Almost 40 leagues, each with roughly 10-to-12 participants each, held their draft parties at his pub before the start of this past NFL season.

Hyland, whose business features a football player reading a newspaper as its logo and beer and wings specials on football game days, said he didn’t imagine that business Gambling, page 7

THE ROBERTS REPORT

Americans less receptive to the ‘good news’ of religions “We are here to celebrate the good news, that there is a beacon of hope, that this is a path to redemption, we find both in our acceptance of and our belief in Jesus Christ, who died for all of us, who died for all of our sins. …And Jesus is proof that God does love us, and it’s up to us what we do next. And Jesus would approve of our discontent, he really would.

No one is beyond God’s love and his power to redeem.”

— County Executive Robert Astorino, Dec. 21, 2015 Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino’s expression of faith at a Catholic Mass at the county jail highlights an extraordinary change in the role of religion in contemporary life.

That role has been shrinking for decades, especially for Christians. Pew Research’s Religious Landscape Study found that between 2007 and 2014, the share of adults who identify as Christians in the U.S. fell from 78 percent to just under 71 percent, a net loss of 5 million people. The religiously unaffiliated jumped from 16 percent to 23 percent and more than one-third of millennials now identify their religion as “atheist, agnostic or nothing in particular,” indicating the trend away from religion might accelerate.

A massive scholarly study of adolescents and millennials published in 2015 at PLOS One found that “twice as many 12th-graders and entering college students in the 2010s (vs. the 1960s-70s) give their religious affiliation as ‘none,’ as do 40 to 50 percent more 8th- and 10th-graders.”

The loss of adherents is not confined to Christians, as Jews too experience loss of affiliation. In December, after 36 years, the Rosenthal Jewish Community Centers announced the closing next June of their three locations in northern Westchester — Pleasantville, Yorktown Heights and Crotonon-Hudson — citing “changing demographics, increased competition and rising economic challenges.”

Despite what is happening in the U.S., Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, the former chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, said that this century will be more religious than the 20th for three reasons: first, religion is better adapted to global communication than nation states and existing institutions; second, Western societies and consumerism fail to address the great questions of identity, morality and meaning in life; and third, members of the most religious groups have the highest birth rates.

Astorino’s message of religion’s power to provide hope and redemption is supported by sociological data. Studies by Pew and public policy analysts like Robert Putnam, author of “Bowling Alone,” find that religious people are more likely to give to charity, volunteer to donate blood, avoid diabetes or help a neighbor. Psychology Today has reported, “Attending church provides many

potential health advantages, including promotion of a healthier lifestyle, improved stress management and better social support. Such benefits could explain why religious Americans live longer according to some studies.”

So perhaps the county executive was in fact delivering the “good news,” even if fewer people are choosing to hear it.

is about to happen in this facility here,” Hoffnung said before leading the press on a brief tour of the dispensary’s consulting rooms — one equipped with a small play area for pediatric patients — and pharmacy counter. For the first time in nearly a century, medical cannabis will be available to patients in New York state, he said.

In White Plains, the Vireo Health dispensary will be open from noon to 7 p.m.

Monday through Saturday, operating at the start with a core staff of three employees.

Both patients using the dispensary and physicians who prescribe medical marijuana must register with the state Department of Health. Patients, limited to those suffering from certain severe, debilitating or lifethreatening conditions, must first be certified for the program by their doctors, who are required to complete a four-hour online course before participating in the program.

school a corporate partner known for its innovations in big-data processing, an academic focus at the Hagan school, which two years ago opened a Business Analytics Institute and a Center for Health Care Analytics.

“The fit from an academic perspective was the most important part in our decision to sponsor the company” in the StartUp NY program, said Dan Konopka, director of corporate, foundation and government relations at Iona. He said the college, which has been approached by “dozens of companies” interested in the state’s taxfree campus program, wanted to find “a manipulator of big data.”

Syncsort initially will work with Iona on big data in the health care field, Konopka said. Iona is working closely with a number of hospitals in the area analyzing aggregated health care data from electronic health records, he said.

Konopka said Syncsort has agreed to work with the college to develop course curriculum. Jaffe said the company’s insights into changes in the technology industry could affect Iona’s curriculum offerings.

juana program and counter some misleading press coverage they have seen.

No “joints” or “buds” will be in the office, said Dr. Laura Bultman, clinical director of Vireo Health, using popular terms for pot smoking and the mind-altering parts of marijuana plants. Rather, the office will dispense pharmaceutical-grade medical cannabis extract products taken either orally as a liquid or capsule or inhaled as vaporized oil, she said.

Those products are organically grown and processed at Vireo Health’s upstate production facility in the town of Perth in Fulton County. The medical marijuana company is the first tenant in the 515-acre Tryon Technology Park, the site of the former Tryon Residential Center, a state prison for juveniles that was closed in 2011

by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Vireo has opened a 21,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in a converted prison building and a 19,000-square-foot greenhouse, said Josh O’Neill, Vireo’s chief operations officer, and has bought 21 acres in the business park to accommodate future growth for the enterprise.

The sources of the seeds that are the agricultural foundation of New York’s medical marijuana industry are not openly

talked about — or the stuff of fairy tales — in a nation where cannabis remains classified as an illegal controlled substance by the federal government, Bultman said.

“It’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’” she said. “Even obtaining seeds is interstate commerce. …In our states where medical cannabis is legalized, a stork brings the seeds.”

Bultman said Vireo’s New York startup has benefited from the physician-led company’s experience in Minnesota, where a Vireo Health subsidiary, Minnesota Medical Solutions LLC, opened its first medical cannabis facility in July last year.

“You learn a lot of lessons the first time,” she said. “Startups are tough.” Applying lessons learned in Minnesota, “It’s a much more streamlined, efficient operation here because of that,” she said.

Vireo Health officials said they did not know the number of New York physicians who to date have registered in Albany for the state’s medical marijuana program.

“The medical community can be a little bit conservative at times,” Bultman said.

“I think there’s a lot of physicians that don’t want to be on board for a medical marijuana program that is less regulated and more recreational.” Bultman said she thinks the tight program controls set by

New York state “is going to win over physicians” and aid the industry’s effort to make medical marijuana “more mainstream” in health care.

At its dispensaries, which Vireo Health will also operate in Binghamton, Albany and Queens, “We’re going to create a socially comfortable feel for patients,” Hoffnung said. The company aims “to transform the culture around this product.”

That product in any form is not covered by health insurers because of marijuana’s federal status as an illegal drug, Hoffnung said. He said the company is awaiting state Health Department approval of its proposed pricing, which he did not disclose.

Low-income New Yorkers will be given discounts on their out-of-pocket purchases, he said.

Hoffnung said Vireo Health has invested “several million dollars” in its Fulton County production facility and additional funds for its dispensaries but would not be more specific about the cost of the startup project.

“It has been a significant investment but we believe that long-term this market has huge economic potential and potential to help New Yorkers,” he said.

with Iona faculty on research projects and work with students majoring in computer science and information systems. Iona in turn could offer work-related courses for Syncsort employees, Konopka said.

Syncsort also will provide student internships — at least four at the outset — and has said it will help Iona graduates find employment in their field, he said.

Iona College President Joseph E. Nyre in a press release said the collaboration “is a partnership that we believe will be a model for others in New York and the nation.”

When joining the Start-UP NY program in 2014, Iona officials reserved 9,000 square feet of office space in two buildings on its main New Rochelle campus as a tax-free zone for companies. The state allows companies to occupy designated tax-free space at other properties where their partnering academic institutions operate, and Iona last March received state approval for a tax-free area at Blue Hill Plaza.

“That was a more viable location because we didn’t have to give up anything” on the New Rochelle campus, said Konopka.

For Syncsort, “The nice part about that was they were able to find the space that they needed.”

Before the state would approve Iona’s bid to sponsor Syncsort in the Start-Up NY program, the college was required to

survey the Rockland business sector to be sure the big-data software company will not be directly competing with other businesses in the area. The state Department of Labor also did its own survey, Konopka said.

“They’re careful not to bring in a competitor on a tax-free basis,” he said.

For Syncsort, said CEO Jaffe, Iona “is this incredibly rich source of potential talent for us.” The relocation also brings the 200-employee company, which has customers in 87 countries, into the “New York City tech ecosystem” and its fast-growing enterprise software sector.

“On a personal level, it’s very meaningful for me as a long-time New Yorker” raised in Brooklyn, he said.

Syncsort, which Jaffe said has just under $100 million in annual revenue, last November was acquired by Clearlake Capital Group L.P., a private investment firm in Santa Monica, Calif. With Clearlake’s financial backing, the software provider for health care, financial services, telecommunications and other data-intensive businesses will “double down on all of our strategies,” Jaffe said, and plans to do many more acquisitions of highly differentiated companies in the tech sector. Some of those acquisition targets are in and around New York City, he said.

At Blue Hill Plaza, Syncsort is leasing

some of the 287,000 square feet of space vacated about one year ago by the Verizon Data Center, said James B. Tully, executive vice president in the Saddle Brook, N.J. office of CBRE Inc. CBRE is leasing agent and property manager for Blue Hill Plaza’s owner, Glorious Sun (New York) Inc., a subsidiary of Glorious Sun Group, an international apparel business headquartered in Hong Kong.

Glorious Sun in early 2015 bought out its junior partner at Blue Hill Plaza, Robert Martin Co. in Elmsford, “so that they could have more flexibility in dealing with tenants and making decisions,” Tully said.

Other tenants in the plaza complex include Orange & Rockland Utilities, Hunter Douglas, Active Media Services Inc., which signed a long-term lease renewal last year for 100,000 square feet of space, Blue Hill Data Services, Rockland Business Association and Rockland Economic Development Corp.

“It’s the number-one business address in Rockland County,” said Tully. Yet brokers marketing the property are challenged by fixed perceptions that Rockland County is a less desirable place to do business than neighboring Bergen County, he said “Primarily our competition is New Jersey,” Tully said. Despite Rockland’s office-market history, “We feel that’s where there’s a higher probability of success” in attracting tenants.

Syncsort’s relocation is one such success.

INBRIEF FORECLOSURE JUDGMENTS RISE

NEW CFO AT SCENIC HUDSON

Foreclosure judgments in Westchester County last year increased by more than 50 percent from 2014, indicating “a foreclosure crisis that continues to linger,” Westchester County Clerk Timothy C. Idoni said.

The 1,178 judgments issued in 2015 by state Supreme Court judges in Westchester amounted to the highest number in the last decade. The previous high was set in 2008, when 1,034 judgments were issued.

In 2014, judgments against defaulting mortgage borrowers totaled 772 in the county, more than double the number in 2013.

The 2015 total was up nearly 53 percent from 2014. On a monthly basis, judgments peaked in December last year, when 167 were issued, compared with 70 in December 2014.

While judgments spiked again last year, the pace of foreclosure actions filed in Supreme Court by lenders’ attorneys slowed in 2015. The 2,125 filings for the year amounted to an approximately 9 percent decrease from 2014.

The rise in judgments last year indicates a logjam of pending foreclosure cases in the courts from the housing mortgage crisis and Great Recession is clearing in Westchester.

In the last decade, foreclosure filings in the county peaked at 3,123 in 2009.

After a three-year decline, filings against Westchester property owners in default spiked again in 2013, when 2,697 foreclosure actions were started.

Scenic Hudson, a nonprofit in Poughkeepsie, has hired a new CFO who will oversee the organization’s $27 million capital budget.

Camporese, a certified public accountant, was most recently the finance director for Asphalt Green, a nonprofit that provides sports and recreation programs in New York City. During his four years there, Camporese helped the organization open a new facility and adjust to legislative changes that affected New York nonprofits.

Before entering the nonprofit sector, Camporese worked as an auditor for accounting firms O’Connor Davies in Harrison and EisnerAmper LLP in New York City.

would be hampered by daily fantasy sites being barred in the state.

“It could affect us somewhat if we feel there’s not as much buzz generated if you can’t play these games,” he said, adding he agreed that daily fantasy games equated to gambling. “It’s beneficial to us. When you’re sharing the game here with people on Sundays there’s a bit of electricity and there’s a lot more fun.”

He’s seen a change in the way people have watched games as well, which makes his bar’s surplus of TV’s all the more beneficial.

“People go from one television to the next. We have people coming in who aren’t focused on one team or even just one player they’re focused on one player in several different games,” he said. “It’s amazing how many hours guys and girls put into their

teams. Anything that makes the game more interesting we’re definitely for.”

Though fantasy sports games date back more than five decades, but have taken off exponentially in recent years. According to Schneiderman, daily fantasy sports players wagered more than $25 million on DraftKings in 2014.

Both FanDuel’s and DraftKings’ advertising has grown exponentially this year, including noticeable billboards plastered over professional sporting venues and advertisements shown on ESPN, CBS and other outlets.

DraftKings allegedly spent $81 million on television commercials that aired more than 22,000 times between August 1 and September 14, according to Schneiderman.

DraftKings and FanDuel have also filed suit in Illinois, where that state’s attorney general, Lisa Madigan, said this fall that the companies’ daily contests “clearly constitute gambling.”

ov. Andrew M. Cuomo has kicked off the New Year forging ahead on the minimum wage fight with an announcement that the roughly 28,000 State University of New York employees will make at least $15 per hour by July 2021.

The announcement was part of a rally held in New York City on Jan. 4 at the 32BJ Services Employees International Union headquarters where Cuomo was joined by U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez and Brooklyn-born actor Steve Buscemi.

Pending a vote by the SUNY board of trustees expected at its January meeting, all state university employees, including fulltime staff, student workers and work-study

participants, could see their pay increased to $9.75 an hour in February. This will incrementally increase to an hourly rate of $15 on Dec. 31, 2018 in New York City and July 1, 2021 in the rest of the state.

The total wage increase is expected to cost SUNY $28 million, according to a press release from Cuomo’s office.

This pay raise plan for SUNY workers closely follows the gradual wage increases to $15 per hour experienced by fast-food workers and state workers who started earning $9.75 per hour Dec. 31, 2015, and will reach $15 at the same time as the SUNY employees.

All other workers in the state saw minimum wages increase to $9 per hour the last day of 2015, the last uptick from a minimum wage law signed by Cuomo in 2013.

For the first time since May — when Cuomo began a multipronged effort to increase minimum hourly pay rates to $15 per hour through direct action — the governor outlined a strategy describing how he plans to make New York the state with the highest minimum wage in the country.

“First, we are chipping away at it. We’re making a little progress, a little progress, a little progress. It was Vince Lombardi, three yards, four yards every down,” Cuomo said.

This piecemeal game plan, which in 2015 consisted of the governor empaneling a wage board that recommended increasing hourly rates to $15 per hour for fast-food workers and directly raising the minimum wage for state employees, is what the governor is calling Track One. “Track Two is we are going to go to that New York state Legislature and we are going to win this battle the old-fashioned way,” he said. “We are going to knock on doors, we are going to make phone calls, we are going to say to elected officials, ‘There are 3 million New Yorkers who need a raise, you vote against $15, you vote against the 3 million New Yorkers who need it.’”

The first litmus test with the state Legislature was to take place Jan. 7 when a public hearing was scheduled to discuss the potential impact of a $15 statewide minimum hourly wage on workers and employers. State Sen. Jack M. Martins, a Republican who represents part of Long Island, is the chair of the Senate Standing Committee on Labor and will oversee the hearing.

During the 2015 legislative session, Cuomo and the Democrat-led Assembly failed to pass a minimum wage increase in the state budget.

While Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie, a Democrat who represents the Bronx, has stood by the governor’s minimum wage campaign throughout 2015, the Senate majority leader, John J. Flanagan, a Republican who represents part of Long Island, told the Business Council of Westchester in September that he anticipates the minimum wage fight being “contentious.”

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Keeping the business in the family How do we keep our son and daughter happy, so that they stay in the business?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: When it comes to figuring out what’s best for the family and the business, start with understanding the needs of both the family and the business. Learn how to work through disagreements and manage conflict among family members before attempting to work through succession planning for the business. Test participants before handing over the reins. Hand over the reins before it’s too late.

Make the company the first choice, not the last resort. Joining the business is a right that is earned. Make it too easy and they take the company for granted. Make it too hard and they go elsewhere.

Invite family members in, but make them earn their way. Set up a timetable for learning the business and see if they can stick to it. As competence is demonstrated, hand over increasing amounts of authority, including stock. If obstacles come up, consider options outside the company.

Determining what would work best for the business and for family members means taking a detailed inventory of what both need and are able to provide. Think in 5- to 10-year timeframes.

• Can the company project income for the next 5-plus years? Is the company able to grow predictably?

• How much of the company’s estimated net income is already committed to paying for debt and building reserves? How much is available to pay for additional family members to join the company?

• Can the company afford to pay livable wages to family members? What can family members earn elsewhere? Can family members’ income increase as they progress?

How does that match their expectations for future earnings?

• What can family members do that would be valuable to the company? What job openings exist inside the company? Would any current employees have to leave the company to make room?

• How much training would family members need to qualify for job openings? Are family members willing to work their way up as they learn the business?

• What does the company need to know to keep growing? Are family members interested in learning about these things? Are they learners?

• Who would family members report to?

Will they give critical feedback? Can they adequately train new entrants?

• What outside training would be needed, and at what cost in time and dollars?

• Are there outsiders (nonfamily members) who are better qualified? If so, why are family members the optimal choice?

As you can see, questions center on who does what, who reports to whom and how much money there is to go around.

Assuming that you can get past the above questions, take a look at how well TWB Now Open in Mamaroneck family members work together outside the WCBJ business.

Have they hlearned to manage 7.375” w x 7.125” conflict, subordinate personal gain, work 11-4-15 well on teams and think strategically about what’s best for the group? These are critical success skills for owners. If family candidates don’t possess these skills, have them practice elsewhere first.

Find out if family members are able to learn the skills of the business and if they can develop the critical thinking and leadership skills they’ll need to run the business.

Treat them like interns who should be soaking up learning opportunities. Make them earn their way into management roles.

On the other side of the spectrum, as family members step up and prove themselves, don’t wait too long to hand over the business. A challenge for senior family members is giving up control. Put milestones with timetables in writing, to hold both current and future shareholders accountable. Resist the temptation to let dates slip because one or the other isn’t ready. As progress is demonstrated and the next generation moves into place, ready to take over,

make sure that the current management team steps aside to let them do so.

EMPIRE RESORTS SEEKING CONTRACTORS FOR RECENTLY APPROVED CASINO Empire Resorts Inc., the company recently licensed to build a $1.3 billion casino and resort in Sullivan County, is holding public information sessions this month for contractors and vendors interested in completing projects for the 18-story casino, hotel and entertainment complex.

There will be two presentations on Jan. 12 — one at 10 a.m. in Monticello and the other at 2 p.m. in Goshen — to discuss the prequalification process and the services and materials that will be needed to construct the tourist destination facility in Thompson, according to the Empire Resorts website.

ANOTHER MERGER FOR O’CONNOR DAVIES FIRM Continuing its strategic growth into niche practice areas in the last two years, O’Connor Davies LLP, a New York City-based accounting and consulting firm with suburban offices in Harrison and Stamford, recently merged with Flackman, Goodman and Potter LLP, the firm announced.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

An accounting firm founded in 1920 and headquartered in Ridgewood, N.J., Flackman, Goodman & Potter specializes in transaction advisory services for private equity funds.

The firm also is known for its expertise serving closely held businesses.

The merger will strengthen O’Connor Davies’ ability to advise investors on their merger and acquisition activities, the company said in the announcement.

“Our growth strategy over the past year sends a strong message that we will continue to invest the necessary resources to deepen our firm’s expertise in order to meet the evolving needs of our clients,” said O’Connor Davies managing partner Kevin J. Keane.

“Joining forces with FGP is an exciting next step as we expand our reach across a wide range of business sectors.”

James Madormo, managing partner at FGP, said O’Connor Davies’ broad expertise and resources were “the perfect complement to our practice, enabling us to support our clients and align our firm’s priorities and focus. We are enthusiastic about the possibilities this creates for our valued clients as we help them navigate an increasingly challenging business landscape.”

O’Connor Davies employs more than 600 professionals led by 90 partners at its nine offices in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Maryland. Through its aggressive growth strategy, the firm in the last three years has increased the number of professionals in its ranks by about 50 percent.

WILTON COMPANY PAYS $32M FOR WHITE PLAINS OFFICE BUILDINGS Westport Capital Partners, an investment management company in Wilton, Conn., last month acquired two adjacent office buildings in downtown White Plains from SL Green Realty Corp. and its suburban Reckson division for $32 million.

SL Green Operating Partnership in December sold 150 Grand St., an approximately 84,000-square-foot property built in 1960, for $9.6 million. The New York City real estate company paid $6.7 million for the property in 2007.

The new owners last month took out a $20.8-million mortgage from First Niagara Bank on the two office buildings.

CHALLENGING CAREERS

BY CATHERINE PORTMAN-LAUX

The eyes have it for artist Kristin Roberts “Eyes right!” is more than a military command to Pine Bush’s Kristin Roberts.

Education director for the Harness Racing Museum in Goshen and sculptress for its Hall of Fame, Roberts finds that the most important and challenging feature to capture is the expression of the animal’s eyes as she pursues a career that also includes producing paintings, photographs and sculptures for private clients.

Roberts recalls a mysterious occurrence involving an animal’s eyes early in her career.

“I had an acquaintance at a distance who had a dog that I wanted to paint for exhibition purposes,” she said. “I asked if I might borrow a photograph of the dog.

While working on it, I kept producing an inexplicable mournful expression in the eyes, although the picture was not sad looking. I set it aside and went on to other projects. Several months passed, and I returned to the project. This time it went smoothly, with the eye expression in my work matching the expression in the photo. With my painting complete, I returned the photo to its owner. Only then did I learn that her husband, the dog’s master, had died at the time that I started work on the project.”

Of Norwegian background, Roberts was the first family member born in the United States. “My mother was a Norwegian who married an American Air Force man,” she said. Roberts’ older sister was born in Norway.

Multitalented, Roberts never had to choose among her passions; she simply combined her ability to connect with animals with her talent for art. She began riding at age 5, training dogs at 9 and drawing from as far back as she can remember. She recalls a family miniature poodle “that was a nightmare.” Disappointed to find the local

4-H dog obedience class full, she watched to pick up pointers. “After the fifth week they told me I might as well bring my dog,” she said. “I won the graduation prize and that same year went on to become number one in Orange County, the district and state.”

Roberts’ affinity for horses was underscored after she saved her pennies for riding lessons, working at a farm painting fences.

“There I rode 2-year-old Misty Autumn bareback,” she said. “The owners, Charlie and Marion Youngs, gave me the horse for Valentine’s Day.” Her early experience with horses included work as a veterinarian assistant on a Standardbred stud farm and nursery with nine stallions and 750 female mares, yearlings and foals.

Although self-taught in training animals and in the various art media, Roberts did earn a bachelor of science degree from the Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Her Cornell education was broken by segments of work with racehorses and supplemented by studies at the American Academy of Equine Art in Kentucky.

She was inspired to sculpt humans by the late Ben Lopez, still working at his craft at age 92 when he suddenly died, leaving a partially completed sculpture of renowned driver David Miller, scheduled to be inducted into the museum’s Hall of Fame that year. Coincidentally, Roberts had chosen Miller to sculpt to show museum officials a sample of her work on the human form.

Upon Lopez’s death, Roberts was commissioned to complete her own work in progress in time for the induction.

When sculpting, Roberts prefers to take her own photographs, but gives detailed instruction to clients living a distance away

MERCY COLLEGE TO HELP GOVERNMENT OF TANZANIA The Mercy College Strategic Consulting Institute (SCI) has been engaged by the government of Tanzania to provide advice for the development of a tertiary health care center in the East-African country.

Tanzanian officials are looking to see what it would take to build a first-class health care center where basic and more advanced procedures could be performed and where patients could benefit from a resort-like setting during recovery. The overall idea is to build an infrastructure that fits in with Tanzania’s global attractiveness as a pristine eco-tourism destination. The project also seeks to address the general shortage of quality health care in a continent that accounts for more than 16 percent of the global population.

On the project, Strategic Consulting Institute Executive Director Ray Manganelli said, “The idea is a good one but one that needs some fleshing out. That is where the SCI will come in. We will perform a feasibility study of the initiative, which entails evaluating the opportunity for a tertiary health care center in the

region and providing guidance to the sponsors on how to best position the project to prospective stakeholders. We are excited to work on this project with a team that has ample experience in Africa.”

This project with Tanzania will be Dobbs Ferry-based SCI’s first outside the United States. Manganelli added, “It provides a unique opportunity to showcase the competency of our SCI students when undertaking a complex assignment and addressing one of the region’s utmost priorities – closing the supply/demand gap in the health care sector of a continent that is at the early stage of explosive growth driven by its demographics.”

The SCI team will consist of six MBA students and will be under the oversight of Manganelli, and led by graduate business professors Manuel Ron, Victor Petenkemani and James Ryan.

The SCI engagement started in November 2015.

It is limited in scope to the first phase of the project, the feasibility study phase, with a completion date set for March 2016.

Entrepreneurs are risk takers by nature, leveraging insight, hard work, and capital to create successful companies. But when your company is your main source of financial security, you need to protect it from risk – like natural disaster, legal liability, and crime.

Assessing risk. Unfortunately, many business owners don’t think about specific risks until they’ve experienced a threat firsthand. Which is why planning ahead is so critical to protect you and your business from losses. And while asset concentration, fiduciary risk, and risks unique to the nature of your business are extremely important to consider, there are emerging threats you could face.

The new threat. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) has estimated that cyber crime costs the U.S. economy at least $445 billion a year – $160 billion lost by individuals and $285 billion by companies.

The risk is so great today that one solution many business owners are considering is cyber security insurance. These policies typically cover damage to digital assets, business interruptions, and reputational harm. They

can also defray liability costs, and may pay for forensic investigations, customer notification, credit monitoring, and legal and public relations services.

Be prepared. Whatever your potential risks, it’s important to plan ahead and develop an integrated, cohesive strategy for minimizing your exposure. Your own risk exposure will depend on many factors – the nature of your business, your personal tax and financial situation, and estate and business succession planning considerations. Wilmington Trust can help. Founded by a family business leader more than a century ago, we have the experience to help you assess the needs of your business and implement a plan specific to you.
