UPDATE ON LEGISLATION, MEETING REQUEST

Hi All:       Hope all is well with you and your families.

I would like to thank you and your members for the work done during the legislative session this year. You and your members have helped in stopping the City Council from changing NYC administrative code 12-126 (health insurance coverage for city employees), helped to garner co-sponsors on the health protection bills, and made a lot of calls to the key senate and assembly players in our latest efforts to get the health protection bills passed.

Our efforts helped in convincing two Democratic Senators to Co-Prime Sponsor the health protection Senate bill S4191, making this bill bipartisan. We garnered 12 sponsors in the Senate and 29 in the Assembly.

You and your members’ involvement brought more attention to our cause and helped us to move our agenda forward.  This will continue October.

September 17th – 19th 2023, the National 1013 has its annual convention at the Villa Roma in Calicoon, NY. The convention would be a good opportunity to have an Information Network meeting. This coming legislative session is on the heels of elections for NYS Legislators and a prime time for us to talk about our plan moving forward. I have attached the flyer for the convention to the email and hope that you can attend.

Enjoy your summer.

As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please give me a call.

 

Regards,

Michael Fahy

 INFO NETWORK CRITICAL ACTION NEEDED

Hello All

Just a reminder that these calls are critical. I also had a typo in the first paragraph for the Lanza bill the number has been corrected. The number in the narrative section on bottom was correct on the original.

It is crunch time for the Health Protection Bill. Update is that the senate bill S4191A sponsored by Senator Andrew J. Lanza (R) is now a bipartisan bill. The bill was Co-Prime sponsored by Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton (D) and Senator Pete Harkham (D). The assembly bill A4989A sponsored by Assemblymember David Weprin is well represented by both Democrat and Republican co-sponsors.

These bills cover all public service retirees throughout the state and give us the same protection that was afforded to teachers in 2010. We deserve equity and we will remember our friends.

We need to have our voices heard. I am asking that you and your members as well as family and friends make as many phone calls to the following numbers listed for key representatives and ask them to move the bill through to the governors desk. Please be professional and passionate.

 

Thank you

Mike Fahy

Senator Jackson/Senator Stewart Cousins

We need the Senator to move senate bill S4191A to the senate floor for a vote and sent to the Governor. It is absolutely abhorrent that senior citizen public service retirees are having their health benefits diminished and are not protected by legislation. Teachers have been protected with legislation since 2010 and it is time that all public service retirees have equitable protection. It is your job to represent your constituents fairly.

  President's Message  TRUE MEANING OF 10-13

As we start the beginning of Passover and the coming of Easter, it is my hopes that this correspondence finds everyone well and safe.

 

I would like to commend our Chapter Presidents, Board Members and their chapter members during this coronavirus pandemic.  As I read various emails, social media and talk with our members, I say to myself what a great organization we are all a part of.  During these trying times I have seen our members step up  to the plate for their NYPD brothers and sisters. The Verrazano 10-13 delivering meals to Staten Island precincts; Chapter Executive Boards and their members, from all over the country, volunteering their time by shopping and helping our members and their families who have underlying health issues. These members are in danger of contracting this dangerous virus, and if they do, there is the possibility that some may not recover from this virus.

 

Please stay safe and remember, social distancing does not mean that we cannot help our brothers and sisters in any way possible.    On behalf of myself and my Executive Board, we hope that you and your families stay safe. We want to extend a special thank you to all of our members for showing the true meaning of 10-13.

 

Happy & Joyous Holidays.

 

Fraternally yours,

 

Frank Martarella
