In the early 1980s, the New York State Division of the Budget released a retrospective on the executive budget process. The book, The Executive Budget in New York State: A Half-Century Perspective, describes how the executive budget process came to be, how it evolved over 50 years, and how it helped the state function through the Great Depression, World War II, the postwar period, and the 60s and 70s. Now, as we sit in view of 100 years of executive budgets in New York, the Division, in collaboration with the Rockefeller Institute, is beginning the process of telling the story of the next half-century. On this episode of Policy Outsider, Dominic Colafati, DOB's unit head for the Expenditure/Debt unit, joins Rockefeller Institute President Bob Megna to talk about the project: what they hope to emulate, what they might do differently, and what comes next for the executive budget process.

In addition, she has served on several major public boards in New York City government, including the NYC Board of Education and the NYC Districting Commission. Outside of this work, Ms. Simmons also volunteers her skills and currently serves on the board of directors of UPROSE, a climate justice organization; the Council of Elders for African Cultural Heritage; and Little Sun People, an African-centered early childhood education center.

As Barclay Damon Live: Labor & Employment Podcast host Ari Kwiatkowski likes to say, “Let's dig in!” In episode 41, the third and final part of her conversation with Catherine Ostrowski Martin, an attorney with the division, she and Catherine talk about what complainants and employers can expect in the last phase of the process, which is the public hearing. Public, you say? That's right, anyone who wants to can attend, though in Zoom-times, you need to request the link. If the initial settlement conference hasn't produced a solution, says Catherine, it's a months-long process of answering the complaint, having the preliminary conference set, and then having the hearing. Finally, there's the commissioner's recommended order, which can include actions and damages. Listen in for more details.

It's episode 40 of Barclay Damon Live: Labor & Employment Podcast. In this segment, host Ari Kwiatkowski welcomes back Catherine Ostrowski Martin, an attorney with the New York State Division of Human Rights. They continue to discuss what employers need to know about the division's settlement conferences and probable cause hearings, touching on what happens after the settlement conference. (That's a settlement agreement, which usually comes with a monetary component and can also include other stipulations, like training or job reinstatement.) They also cover privacy, confidentiality, and what the best attitude is for employer respondents to take. Listen in for more valuable information, and stay tuned for the third segment of their conversation in the next episode.

It's episode 39 of Barclay Damon Live: Labor & Employment Podcast. This week, host Ari Kwiatkowski welcomes Catherine Ostrowski Martin, an attorney with the New York State Division of Human Rights, to delve into what employers need to know about the division's settlement conferences and probable cause hearings. Following up on Ari's last two episodes, which were also about the division, she and Catherine bring listeners a general overview of what happens if the division issues a probable cause determination as well as the logistics and the process for the prehearing settlement conference. Be sure to listen in to episode 40, when Ari and Catherine continue their conversation, turning to topics that include: what comes next?

In the second part of her conversation with Debbie Kent, regional director of the New York State Division of Human Rights' Buffalo Office, Barclay Damon Live: Labor & Employment Podcast host Ari Kwiatkowski kicks off the episode by asking what happens after a complaint's been filed with the division. Then Ari and Debbie discuss the investigation process and possible outcomes. A great reminder from Debbie: the division is a neutral body. And while it's likely that no one enjoys the process, it's all about making sure human rights laws are followed. Listen in for more on how the division works, and tune in next week for additional insights.

In episode 37, Barclay Damon Live: Labor & Employment Podcast host Ari Kwiatkowski welcomes Debbie Kent, regional director of the New York State Division of Human Rights' Buffalo Office. In the first part of the episode, Ari and Debbie share preliminary information about what the division and its mission are, what it does, and how it's organized. They then turn to how a discrimination complaint is filed and whether every complaint that's filed is covered, and if it's covered, what happens? They explain more about the process, including when a case may go to the EEOC instead of the Division of Human Rights. Listen and be sure to tune in for an even deeper dive with Debbie in the next episode.

In part two of “Best Practices for Defending Discrimination Lawsuits in Federal Court,” Ari Kwiatkowski welcomes back her Barclay Damon colleague Randy Oppenheimer to continue their discussion about the process involved in a federal court lawsuit brought against an employer. They talked about an early potential step, a settlement conference, in episode 35. If that step wasn't conclusive or on the table, it's off to discovery, says Randy, and this strategic period can have a big effect on the case. Listen in as they go through other possible steps, including a motion to dismiss, mediation process, and summary judgment motion. Having the right lawyer is key, and Randy talks about what to look for. Then tune in for Ari's next episode, when Debbie Kent, New York State Division of Human Rights regional director, answers questions about the division.

This week, U.S. Army veteran and original FourBlock alumnus Andy Roberts reflects on his recent experience in the healthcare industry transitioning from his role in human resources, mergers and acquisitions to working on the ground and rapidly standing up testing sites in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Andy joins FourBlock Founder Mike Abrams to discuss his role in the healthcare space, share advice for how to successfully merge organizational cultures, and recount how his experience in the Army has informed his work in the civilian world. Andy Roberts is currently a Senior Advisor in HR Emergency Management for Northwell Health in Lake Success, NY.

He is now standing up a new department at Northwell dedicated to emergency management within human resources operations. Andy previously served as the Director of the Office of Military and Veteran Services for Northwell Health, during which time he oversaw a variety of programs that cared for military veterans and their families. Prior to working for Northwell, he served as the Deputy Director of the New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs and as the Membership Associate for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

General Charles Krulak coined the term "Three Block War" to describe the nature of 21st-century military service defined by peace-keeping, humanitarian aid, and full combat. But what happens next? Veterans are often unprepared to return home and begin new careers. We call this the Fourth Block.  FourBlock is a national non-profit that has supported thousands of transitioning service members across the nation in beginning new and meaningful careers.  Mike Abrams (@fourblock) is an Afghanistan veteran, FourBlock founder, director of the Columbia University Center for Veteran Transition and Integration, and author of two military transition books.

NY Assembly again passes Gender Non-discrimination Act — NEW YORK The New York State Assembly has again passed the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie announced on May 7. The legislation would prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression in considerations of employment, education and in consumer credit and housing. The bill would also add offenses motivated by gender identity or expression to the hate crimes statute (A.3358, Gottfried). “The Assembly Majority believes that everyone has the right to live free of harassment and discrimination,” said Speaker Heastie. “This legislation extends clear legal protections to individuals who have been left vulnerable for far too long.” “Transgender people—whose gender identity, appearance, behavior or expression differs from their genetic sex at birth—face discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodations and other areas of life, and they are particularly vulnerable to hate crimes,” said Assembly Member Richard N. Gottfried, Assembly sponsor of GENDA. “It’s an embarrassment to New Yorkers that 19 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws barring discrimination on the basis of gender expression or identity while GENDA can’t even get a vote in our State Senate. Adding gender expression and identity to the human rights and penal laws will give the community proper recognition, protection against repeal of the regulations, and add protection under the State’s Hate Crimes Law.” Nineteen states, the District of Columbia and at least 157 cities and counties in the United States, including the cities of Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, Rochester, Syracuse and New York, and the counties of Albany, Suffolk, Tompkins and Westchester have passed gender-inclusive civil rights legislation. Today’s legislation would ensure that all transgender New Yorkers have secure, lasting protections against discrimination. Since 2008, the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act has passed the Assembly 10 times. “Today’s legislation would close a gap that has left many New Yorkers vulnerable for far too long,” said Assemblymember Deborah Glick. “Cities and counties all across the state have stepped up and recognized the importance of protecting transgender individuals from discrimination, and it is long overdue that the state guarantees these basic human rights for all transgender New Yorkers.” Although not specifically stated in the statutes, effective January 20, 2016, the New York State Division of Human Rights adopted a regulation—9 NYCRR 466.13—prohibiting discrimination and harassment against transgender individuals. The regulation clarifies how gender identity may constitute either sex discrimination or disability discrimination under the New York Human Rights Law (New York Executive Law, Article 15, Sections 290 through 301). The regulation specifies that discrimination on the basis of gender identity is sex discrimination. The term “sex” when used in the Human Rights Law includes gender identity and the status of being transgender. Prohibitions contained in the Human Rights Law against discrimination on the basis of “sex,” in all areas of jurisdiction where sex is a protected category, also prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or the status of being transgender. Harassment on the basis of a person’s gender identity or the status of being transgender is “sexual harassment.” Assembly Bill 3358 proposes to amend the New York Executive Law, the Civil Rights Law and the Education Law to specifically prohibit discrimination based on a person’s “gender identity or expression.” It would also amend the Penal Law and Criminal Procedure Law to include offenses regarding gender identity or expression within the text of offenses subject to or treated as hate crimes. “Gender identity or expression” would be defined to mean a person’s actual or perceived...
