Good afternoon, Mr. President.
Good afternoon.
Have several amendments here. Amendments offered to the following third reading calendar bills by Senator Clear Calendar 229, Senator Persad Calendar 357 and Senator May Calendar 454.
The amendments are received and the bill will retain its place on the third reading calendar. Senator Gianares, please call on Senator Harcom for an introduction. Senator Harcomb.
Thank you very much, Mr. President. You know, from time to time on this floor we welcome dignitaries from far and wide. From New York, from around the world. Today we have some friends visiting us from Connecticut. With us today are representatives from the Korean United Methodist Church of New Haven as well as the Korean American association of Connecticut. And while decorum prohibits me from mentioning names explicitly, there's also the person here who puts up with the incorrigible senator from the 40th Senate District on a daily basis. So if you please, Mr. President. Please welcome our guests and offer them all the privileges and courtesies of the chamber.
Thank you. Senator. To our guests, I welcome you. On behalf of the Senate, we extend to you the privileges and courtesies of the House. Please rise and be recognized. Senator de Niers.
Mr. President. Senator Harcomb didn't want to mention his wife's name, but I can. So welcome to Jinhee Stevens, who is part of the delegation that was just introduced. We have a privilege resolution at the best. Let's take that up right now. Resolution 1753 and recognize Senator Kavanaugh. After reading that resolution's title, Secretary will
read Resolution 1753 by Senator Kavanaugh honoring St. Patrick and all persons of Irish descent upon the occasion of the celebration of St. Patrick's Day on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026 as Irish American Heritage Month in the State of New York.
Senator KAVANAUGH.
Thank you, Mr. President, and happy St. Patrick's Month to everybody. We are. As a proud Irish American whose father immigrated to the United States from from County Downgal and whose maternal grandparents also made that journey somewhat earlier, it's an honor to introduce this resolution proclaiming March 2026 as Irish Heritage Month in the State of New York and celebrating St. Patrick's Day, a day that acknowledges the resilience, heritage and enduring spirit of the Irish people and our great contributions to the State of New York. Today, of course, we honor St. Patrick, who is the patron saint not only of Ireland, but also of the Archdiocese of New York. And we also celebrate the generations of Irish immigrants, many of whom turned hardship into hope and really have enriched New York and our entire nation. In the mid 19th century, millions of Irish began flowing into the United States through what's known as the Golden Door, often of Ellis island, seeking refuge from famine, from political oppression and from injustice. Among them was Annie Moore of Cork, Ireland, who was the very first immigrant from anywhere in the world to arrive at Ellis island in pursuit of a new life in America. Many, many of them arrived with very little and yet contributed so much to New York building the Erie Canal. Many, many thousands of Irish are involved in that, as well as lots of our infrastructure and in a continuing tradition of being very important in our trades, our workers who construct and maintain all kinds of infrastructure around the state. The spirit of public service of the Irish runs very deep. A quarter of the Continental army was Irish born, including the fighting 69th that served on the battlefields of the Civil War and through many of our conflicts up to this day and is headquartered in the 69th Regiment armory in Manhattan. One of the very first Medal of Honor recipients part post 911 was Navy SEAL Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy of Smithtown. And of course, I had the honor yesterday of joining an Irish delegation at 911 at the 911 Memorial and Museum. And many, many of my Irish brethren and sisters gave their lives on that day answering the call of service as police officers and firefighters. That proud tradition really has sort of been consistent throughout our history as a country. Again, I mentioned the Continental army and also nine signers of the original Declaration of Independence and 23 United States presidents and a few governors. I'll get to in a moment. This is also Irish History Month, so it is important to recognize also the many Irish American women who've been visionaries and trailblazers. Annie Sullivan, who opened up the world to Helen Keller as her teacher. Nellie Bly, who changed the face of journalism. Colonel Eileen Collins, who was the first woman to command a space shuttle and is a New Yorker. And their legacy reminds us that the Irish spirit of courage has never been confined to one arena, one area of life, but across many, many sectors and activities in our society. Their legacy also lives on through again, public service right here in New York, of course, leader like Al Smith, New York's first happy warrior, who really defined much of the great changes in our country, starting with services and programs in New York that made sure that we lifted up the neediest, make sure we took care of everyone in our society and became the New Deal programs of the 40s and into the 50s and still are some of our basic safety net programs to this day. The labor movement, of course, has been led by many, many Irish Americans and continues to do so today. And of course, we're very proud as Irish Americans to have a governor who is of Irish descent and also very much embraces that experience as a formative experience of her own and something that really defines her work and her commitment to making sure we're caring for all New Yorkers. St. Patrick's Day is more, of course, than a tribute to the past. It's a living celebration of values that unite Irish people all over the world and us also as New Yorkers. Resiliency in the face of struggle, solidarity in times of division, and the belief that every person deserves dignity. The Irish island, of course, has been divided at times. There had been discrimination and oppression based on religion and other divisions in our society. We are very proud now that we are hopefully moving past those in a permanent way. But we know that also Irish Americans and the Irish have learned from those experiences and, and again, we try to apply them to our work here as president of the American Legislative Society. I'm happy to work with leaders in this chamber and across the other side of the building, including our vice president, Senator Patrick Gallivan, and our treasurer, Pat Fahey, as well as Mary Beth Walsh and Mike Fitzpatrick, our Assembly colleagues. So as we honor St. Patrick, who stood against intolerance and discrimination suffered by the Irish people, we are mindful of the continuing need to stand for justice, inclusion and mutual understanding here in New York and Ireland and around the world. This includes, again, our steadfast commitment to the good Friday agreements and the peace and reconciliation is brought to the north of Ireland since 1998. And we know we are very much as Americans proud of the fact that American leaders of Irish descent and others were very instrumental in bringing that peace process to fruition in 1998 and continue to support that process. So again, tomorrow is the biggest St. Patrick's Day parade, not just in New York State, but anywhere in the world. We're expecting, as we usually do, about 2 million spectators, about 150,000 marchers. And it's not just a day for the Irish. It's a day when countless New Yorkers and many people from Ireland and other parts of the world join us in the spirit of Ireland and in the spirit of celebration. And so for anyone who might be considering joining us, who's within earshot of the speech, I say Cayde, Miller, Falcha, which means, of course, 100,000 welcomes. I'm sure that's on the tip of all of your tongue. And again, St. Patrick's Day has very much become not just a day, but really a month of celebration across our communities. I know many of my colleagues have participated in parades and other events. So again, thank you for the opportunity to speak with you. And just to end, there's an old Irish blessing that says we all live in each other's shelter and I hope we can continue in that spirit. Happy St. Patrick's Day. And I vote aye on the resolution.
Thank you, Senator. Senator Fahey.
Thank you, Mr. President. I join my colleague in noting Irish Heritage Day. Every March we do hear the bagpipes echo down the streets and a lot of green appears around the Capitol and certainly in New York City tomorrow. But today, here is a day to remind ourselves it's more than parades or even pints. It really is about heritage. The shared sacrifices, resilience, and then that enduring promise of America. It's a month that puts me down memory lane. My story is a very personal one and I certainly share the pride. And I have to say, the older I get, the more I believe that my roots have become a compass for my life. I was born in Chicago to Depression era immigrant parents who left small farms, didn't really want to leave those farms, but they arrived here after immigration reopened after World War II. They were the very last of a generation to come off the boat right here in the New York City harbor or right south of us. I should say mine is a very universal story. My parents came for the same reasons we see again universally, and that is that they have a chance At a job that they didn't have in their own country, and the chance that their children would ultimately have an education. Both of my parents only had a primary school education. My father had a year of technical school. But again, education was out of the reach financially for their families. So, like many Irish, they helped build this country. My father started in the Chicago stockyards. My mother is a domestic service. And as we've seen so many communities built brick by brick, many ultimately found their way into public service. And I, as their daughter, ultimately did against my father's best wishes, I have to say, or against his recommendation. But it was this unshakable belief in fairness and that opportunity. We're reminded, opportunity should never be because of where you were born, because of who your parents were, because of an accent or color of those who arrived on these shores. The parallels to today's immigration battles are absolutely uncanny. My parents, through a lot of hard work, were afforded one version of an American dream, as many generations were. But that has really turned into more of a fairy tale for way too many. And we have seen Lady Liberty's torch dim in recent years, dim with the lack of opportunity and that unshakable belief in fairness that we experienced and grew up hearing about. We must not forget. So it's a reminder to me not to forget the roots, not to forget our shared roots, the repression that held Ireland back for centuries and the suffering for centuries because of an autocratic rule. And I think it has led me to become so outspoken as I reflect on those. But it's also that spirit of community, perseverance and standing up for the underdog that the Irish have done so much on. So as we celebrate the culture, the traditions, and the values of generosity, courage, and more, it is a reminder of the shoulders we stand on, the shared sacrifices, and one of the many beautiful sayings from Ireland is, may your troubles be less, your blessings be more, and may nothing but happiness come through your door. And with that, Mr. President, I wish all smiling eyes shine down upon all of us here and throughout this state. Thank you.

Senator Barrel to explain his vote.
Thank you Mr. President. I. I certainly support this bill. I think it's important. But I find it rather ironic or dangerous that we are proceeding forward with this electric school bus mandate without actually having a study on something like are these things going to start on fire? We're already watching kids freezing because they're turning off the heat in order to complete their routes in the rural areas that I represent. And really to pump the brakes on this, no pun intended, this is one of many things that we should be studying before where we're going to put our children on a bus that could be potentially deadly. I'm supporting this, but I really would like some more common sense when it comes to the overall electric battery mandates. Thank you.
Senator Barrella will be recorded in the affirmative. Senator white.
Thank you Mr. President.
I rise to explain my vote today. Although I also agree with today's bill.
Today's bill is a study on lithium
ion battery fires which pose a huge safety and environmental concern. I have a bill of course that prohibits the mandate that requires school districts to purchase, operate and maintain electric buses since we don't even know how to stabilize, prevent or extinguish these fires. The fact that we're passing this bill today certainly shows that everyone who votes
yes on today's bill is also concerned
with the safety of electric buses and the children that we're mandating to ride on them.
Thank you Senator.

And the fact that this bill will

there is a health issue, most people know where these AEDs are anyway. I think it's just well thought out. Great bill. And again Senator Fernandez, thank you for bringing it forward. Every once in a while I say in Albany we get it right today we got it right. Thank you Mr. President.
Senator Obrack will be recorded in the affirmative Senator Fernandez to explain her vote.
Thank you Mr. President. And through you I really want to thank the comments by my colleague here because this is a very common sense approach first aid kit well, EDUS are the tools that we run to when there is someone in distress when they are unconscious and many times maybe they don't need that or maybe they do need Narcan. But this does provide more tools in a secure location to help somebody in their most desperate time of need for whatever may be the cause. So I thank everyone for voting for this bill and for making New Yorker safe by have safer by having the tools all together. Thank you.
Thank you.

today's calendar Mr. President not since Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas in 1858 have a series of debates taken on such great importance as the goes between Mark Walsack and Rachel May. Let's take up the controversial calendar to hear the next installment.
Please. Secretary will ring the bell.
Secretary will read calendar number 446. Senate print 1052 by Senator may enact to the Department of Economic Development to move the Central New York welcome Center to the Equal Rights Heritage center in the city of Auburn.
Senator Walsher, why do you rise from
the party of Lincoln? Mr. President, I rise in hopes that the sponsor will yield for some questions.
Does the sponsor yield?
Mr. President, I'm happy to debate this bill once again.
Sponsor yields.
In 2018, the state spent $10 million to build the Equal Rights Heritage center which opened in 2018. Is that correct,
Mr. President? I don't know that price tag on the building.
Through you, Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield?
I do.
Sponsor yields.
So at the time that the state spent $10 million to build the Heritage center in the city of Auburn, it was under agreement that the city of Auburn was going to run the operations. Be responsible for running the operations of the Equal Rights her Heritage center, is that correct?
Through you, Mr. President, there was an understanding that the Central New York welcome Center would be placed in the Equal Rights Heritage center and the normal funding for a welcome center would contribute to the operating expenses of the center.
Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
That's the sponsor yield.
I will.
Sponsor yields.
But the CNY Welcome center was actually placed in Destiny USA, not in Auburn, is that correct, Mr. President?
That is correct. As far as we can tell, there was some side deal made between Governor Cuomo and the mall developers to shift the plan and put the welcome center at Destiny and stuff.
And through you, Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield?
I do.
The sponsor yields.
And in the Heritage Center's first year of operations, they received $50,000 from the state of New York to help the city of Auburn with operating. Is that correct?
Through you, Mr. President, I don't. Don't know. I wasn't in office at that time and I didn't represent Auburn at that time. He didn't.
And through you, Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield?
I do.
Sponsor yield.
You may have been in office in 2025 when the city received $200,000 from the state. Is that figure correct? $200,000 for the operations to help the city of Auburn run the Heritage Center.
Mr. President. That is correct. Because I have advocated each of the last few years to get some operating funding into the state budget to replace what was lost by losing the CMY Welcome center designation.
And through you, Mr. President, will the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield? Yes, Sponsor yields.
Yeah. So I noticed you once again provided $200,000 for the city of Auburn for. For the operations of the Heritage center. In your one house budget, the city says that it costs about $234,000 annually to run. Is that correct?
Through you, Mr. President. That sounds right to me.
And through you, Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield? Yes, the sponsor yields.
Destiny USA is actually. So it's a mall in Syracuse. It is the top 20 most in the top 20 most visited shopping centers in the nation with over 20 million visitors per year. The Equal Rights center gets about 8,000 visitors a year. Is that correct?
Through Mr. President? I don't know that number, but that sounds very low to me. There are always people there when I go.
And through you, Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield?
Yes.
Sponsor yield.
Yeah. In their annual 2024 report, I can read you the specific number. A total of 8,206 walk ins. That was an increase of 3,000 visitors over 2023. So headed in the right direction, but falling pretty short of 20 million where the visitor center is currently. My question is, is Onondaga county in support of moving the visitor center from their county into the county of Cayuga in the city of auburn through here?
Mr. President, this isn't a decision for Onondaga County. This is a decision for the State of New York. And I would also say the visitor center actually is a gathering place. There are events that take place outside of it all the time. And so I don't know if they're clocking every single person who comes in there. But Destiny Mall, also, some of those numbers of visitors are very old, to be honest. And it is. I would say there's been a significant drop off, especially now that Canadian visitors aren't coming to Syracuse anymore.
Through you, Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield? I will sponsor yield.
In fact, at least in their 2024 report, they do clock combined events and tours total, adding another 6,400 of combined events and tours. I assume that's things outside of the Heritage center that rally there to include the no Kings rally that was held on October 18th at the Heritage Center. Or on January 22nd, a Democrat running for county court judge having their announcement in the Heritage Center. My question, Are there any Republican events or conservative events ever held at the Heritage center?
Through you, Mr. President, I don't have a list of events that are held there, but I do know there are a lot of community events that occur outside the center. And. And I'm sure some of them are at the very least nonpartisan, if not Republican organized. I just. I don't know.
And through you, Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield?
I do.
Sponsor yields.
City of Auburn is often called prison city for very good reason. There were a number of events in Auburn this time last year as corrections officers were fighting for safety on their job. Were any of the corrections officers rallies held at the at the Heritage center?
Through you, Mr. President, I don't know the answer.
And through you, Mr. President, would the sponsor continue to yield?
Does the sponsor yield? Yes, Sponsor yields.
Do you happen to know the party registration of the executive director, the chair of the board, the treasurer and all? Almost the entire board of directors, Mr. President.
I do not see how that is relevant to this question. And the answer is no.
Thank you, Mr. President.
On the bill, Senator Walchuck. On the bill.
So this bill would move the Central New York welcome Center from one of the largest malls most frequently visited in America. It is in the top 20 largest malls, has over 20 million people visit it each day. I know it well because I grew up in the Central New York region. I also represent the north country and have many Canadian friends who talk about doing their Christmas shopping there. That's why it's situated well to be a welcome center. The area where you've got 20 million people in Central New York showing up to shop is a great way to welcome them to the state of New York. Show them some of the products that we make in the state of New York and show them some information that they may spread out to communities, even like communities of Auburn. It's a great place to advertise for Prison City. It's at the confluence of Route 81 and 90, making it very easy for many visitors, even with traffic changes. Changes still very easy for many visitors across the state of New York. But on top of the strategy of this, what bothers me the most about this bill is that the city of Syracuse and the county of Onondaga where the CNY welcome center is situated today, haven't asked for this, haven't approved of this, and would agree that in Central New York, Syracuse is the beating heart that makes sense for CNY to have the welcome center there. And well placed in the area where people most frequently visit. So it doesn't make strategic sense for us in this body to move CNY's welcome center out to the city of Auburn. And no offense to Prison City, I'm sure they love the visitors. But when you look at everything from, from. Actually, if you should know, and you should know, parking was taken away from the city of Auburn. Many residents at the YMCA weren't happy having to park out on the street. Actually, at the Syracuse mall at Destiny USA, parking is free and people, 20 million of them are already showing up to shop there. So moving this into the city of Auburn could even cause more consternation. And the real reason that this is brought forward is to support the Democrat hangout in the city of Auburn. This is the place where all the events are. This is the place where all of the organization are. This is where people coalesce and have rallies for one side of an issue, not for the other. And that's what makes it difficult in this body with the state of New York and taxpayer dollars that we're investing here, to say no. So I hope that you will join me in voting no on this bill. Thank you.
Are there any other senators wishing to be heard? Seeing and hearing none. Debate is closed. The secretary will ring the bell. Oh, sorry Serenaris.
Mr. President, we've agreed to restore this to the non controversial calendar.
Read the last section.
Section 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
Call to roll.
Adabo Gianaras Krueger or Sukhatan Zalmen.
Senator Mater Explainer vote.
Thank you, Mr. President. When the state builds a building, I think it is reasonable to expect that that building will. That the state will have a plan for how that building will be operated over time. The state built a very nice building right in the middle of Auburn, right across from South City hall, right next to the Seward House, which is a very important tourist destination and right around the corner from downtown. And then the state pulled the funding that was supposed to be what enabled the building to continue its operation. And personally I think this is irresponsible on the part of the state and an insult to the city of Auburn. And it has left the city in a position where either they had to come up with a significant amount of money to run this building or watch it fall down essentially right in the middle of town. So I am proud to advocate for a sustainable, sustainable system of funding the operation of this building. But I also need to say clearly this isn't about partisanship. This isn't about some kind of lefty plot. This is about infrastructure and how we support the the institutions in our upstate cities. And the reality is, even if I think it's pretty inflated to say 20 million people are visiting Destiny Mall now in a year, the reality is that the welcome center at Destiny Mall is located in a distant corner that very few people ever see. So the numbers who actually visit that welcome Center, I've been by several times to check and there's almost never anyone there. So I would bet if they were collecting information that there are actually at least as many people visiting the welcome center or visiting the Eagle Rights Heritage center in Auburn as there are visiting the welcome center at Destiny Mall. So I think this is smart economics for us to put state money into operating this building. And I think Auburn is deserving of it. And I vote I said may will
be recorded in the affirmative.
