                                                               3535

 1   Resolution Number 6165, by Senator Peralta, 

 2   commemorating the 206th anniversary of Colombia's 

 3   Declaration of Independence on July 20, 2016.

 4                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Senator 

 5   Peralta.

 6                SENATOR PERALTA:   Thank you, 

 7   Mr. President.

 8                This year marks the 206th year of 

 9   Colombian independence.  Colombia celebrates 

10   Independence Day each year on July 20th.  The day 

11   commemorates the Declaration of Independence made 

12   on the date in 1810.  That day, almost 206 years 

13   ago, the citizens of Bogota, Colombia, Colombia's 

14   capital, created their first representative 

15   council, an action that led to Colombia's first 

16   national government.  

17                Even though it took another nine 

18   years to achieve full independence from Spain, 

19   Colombians annually celebrate the first "El Grito 

20   de Independencia," or "Cry for Independence," led 

21   by Simón Bolívar.  Complete victory over Spain 

22   was declared in August of 1819.  

23                Colombian independence is an 

24   occasion of great celebration in my district, 

25   which is home to La Pequeña Colombia, or "Little 


                                                               3536

 1   Colombia," and generations of Colombians and 

 2   Colombian families, including the actor and 

 3   comedian John Leguizamo, who grew up in 

 4   Jackson Heights.  La Pequeña Colombia is right at 

 5   the heart of my district -- which, as you know, 

 6   is the United Nations of all Senate districts.  

 7                Like the United States, Colombia has 

 8   also a long tradition of constitutional 

 9   government.  The United States and Colombia are 

10   good friends, they are allies, a relationship 

11   forged by a love of democracy, the rule of law, 

12   and of course liberty.  

13                By way of this resolution, we extend 

14   our best wishes to our Colombian-American friends 

15   across the state in advance of this important and 

16   joyful day.

17                Thank you, Mr. President.

18                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Thank 

19   you, Senator Peralta.

20                The question is on the resolution.  

21   All in favor signify by saying aye.

22                (Response of "Aye.")

23                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Opposed, 

24   nay.

 2   resolution is adopted.

 3                Floor Leader.

 4                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   Yes, there 

 5   will be now an immediate -- excuse me one second.  

 6   (Pause.)  I've had a change in plans.  I've 

 7   called an audible here.

 8                First of all, would you please open 

 9   that last resolution up for cosponsorship.

10                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   The 

11   resolution is open for cosponsorship.  If you do

11                SENATOR SQUADRON:   To explain my 

12   vote, Mr. President.

13                Certainly inciting violence against 

14   an active member of the military is an absolutely 

15   unacceptable act and one that we should 

16   universally condemn.  

17                Like a nearly identical bill 

18   pertaining to police officers earlier in the 

19   session, this bill has a standard just pulled 

20   verbatim from a Supreme Court decision:  "Such 

21   advocacy is directed to inciting or producing 

22   imminent lawless action and is likely to incite 

23   or produce such action."  That's the definition.  

24   That is not a definition that law enforcement, 

25   prosecutors, courts are going to be able to use 


                                                               3540

 1   effectively.

 2                Passing a law with a very important 

 3   positive headline that's going to take years and 

 4   millions of dollars in litigation to actually 

 5   understand and enforce doesn't do anyone any 

 6   favors.  We should make a clear statement against 

 7   inciting violence against active-duty military, 

 8   absolutely, but we should do it in a way that has 

 9   meaning, not in a way that's going to create 

10   endless litigation based on the copying verbatim 

11   of a Supreme Court decision without putting any 

12   flesh on those bones.  

13                I unfortunately have to vote no, 

14   Mr. President.

12   Hoylman.

13                SENATOR HOYLMAN:   Thank you, 

14   Mr. President.  I rise to oppose this bill that 

15   would reduce, by close to 90 percent, the 

16   contribution by facilities within one mile, which 

17   are crude oil storage facilities, to a similar 

18   facility in another state.

19                That amounts to one facility, which 

20   in my humble opinion would undermine the very 

21   important environmental mechanism we have called 

22   the Oil Spill Fund, whereby polluters pay for 

23   their mistakes.  

24                In this instance, the producers and 

25   those who transport crude oil should have to 


                                                               3565

 1   contribute to a fund in the event of a spill.  

 2   That's a principle we have in law, that polluters 

 3   pay.  And no one should be exempt.  Otherwise, 

 4   the public is going to end up paying, 

 5   taxpayers are going to end up paying if the Oil 

 6   Spill Fund is not supported by the industry.

 7                So I'll be voting in the negative.  

 8   Thanks.

 9                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Senator 

10   Hoylman, you'll be recorded in the negative.

11                Announce the results.

11                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Senator 

12   Krueger to explain your vote.

13                SENATOR KRUEGER:   Thank you, 

14   Mr. President.  I rise to explain my vote no.

15                Although every time I say the word 

16   "climate change" on this floor, I seem to get a 

17   fizzle of noise behind me somewhere, I will just 

18   go on record -- thank you.  Thank you, people.  I 

19   appreciate everybody responding as I expected.  

20                Climate change is real.  We all know 

21   it.  We need to move quickly to respond to try to 

22   reverse the damage that's already been taking 

23   place.  The Governor's REV package of moving us 

24   into a sustainable energy model for the state -- 

25   allowing for new forms of energy, prioritizing 


                                                               3571

 1   those types of energy that do not add to the 

 2   greenhouse gas crisis in our state, our country, 

 3   our planet -- is the right answer.  

 4                While we always want more 

 5   information as a Legislature, while we always 

 6   want everybody to be transparent and report to us 

 7   as to what is going on, what this bill would do 

 8   is slow down the entire process.  And in fact I 

 9   do believe that the reports coming out of the 

10   Governor's REV group of experts have been 

11   providing a great deal of information to us.  

12                So I would urge my colleagues not to 

13   take a vote to slow down the kind of change we 

14   need to be speeding up in New York State, not 

15   slowing down.  We have a commitment to change our 

16   mix of energy within a very short period of 

17   years.  There are those who are advocating we 

18   move even more swiftly than the commitments we 

19   have made.  We need to make sure our agencies, in 

20   coordination with the private sector, can move us 

21   quickly into a 21st-century model of sustainable 

22   energy while decreasing our greenhouse gas 

23   footprint.  

24                And I don't believe any of us can go 

25   home and explain why we didn't want to move as 


                                                               3572

 1   quickly as we could towards that goal.  

 2                I vote no, Mr. President.  Thank 

 3   you.

 4                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Senator 

 5   Krueger to be recorded in the negative.

 6                Senator Hoylman.

 7                SENATOR HOYLMAN:   Yes, 

 8   Mr. President, this is as good a moment as any to 

 9   commend the Cuomo administration for their 

10   Reforming the Energy Vision initiative, which is 

11   a potential game-changer that will wean the State 

12   of New York off of fossil fuels and on to more 

13   sustainable forms of energy like wind and solar.  

14                And to think that this body would 

15   delay that implementation, given the existential 

16   threat which we hear repeatedly termed for human 

17   induced climate change, is baffling.  I tend to 

18   think our friends on the other side of the aisle, 

19   you know, hate regulation unless it works to 

20   their benefit.  

21                In this instance they want to impose 

22   a cost/benefit analysis on REV, but one already 

23   exists.  It's called "Order Establishing the 

24   Benefit Cost Analysis Framework."  So not only, I 

25   think, is there a pernicious motive here to 


                                                               3573

 1   undermine REV, but also it's duplicative and 

 2   unnecessary because the cost/benefit analysis is 

 3   already in place and ready to go.  

 4                So I'll be voting in the negative.  

 5   Thank you.

 6                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Senator 

 7   Hoylman to be recorded in the negative.  

 8                All members wishing to be recorded 

 9   in the negative, please show hands.

10                Senator DeFrancisco to close.

11                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   Yes, I just 

12   wanted to say what this bill really is.

13                Even if everything that the prior 

14   Senators who explained their vote is true -- not 

15   that I agree with everything that was said, but 

16   let's assume it's true -- all this bill does is 

17   require that before we implement specific pieces 

18   of the REV policy, we make a cost/benefit 

19   analysis.  

20                Now, of course it could slow things 

21   down.  But I think people would want to know what 

22   the cost of Option A is, Option B, Option C, 

23   Option D, and choose from those various cost 

24   analyses what's good for the environment and also 

25   what's good for the taxpayers of the state.


                                                               3574

 1                To suggest that we don't want to 

 2   slow it down seems to me to be a little bit 

 3   shortsighted.  We should pass, on that analysis, 

 4   every bill and forget about a financial 

 5   analysis -- just do it.  Like there's an 

 6   unlimited amount of money and taxpayers could 

 7   open their pockets to anything, whether 

 8   cost-effective or not.

 9                So that's the intent of the bill.  

10   And I appreciate those who are supporting it for 

11   the right reasons.

12                Thank you.

15                Floor Leader.

16                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   We now have 

17   one nomination.  And in order to bring that 

18   nomination to the floor, we have to do a 

19   committee meeting of Crime and Corrections, 

20   immediately followed by a committee meeting of 

21   Finance.

22                So I'm calling the immediate meeting 

23   of the Crime and Corrections Committee for 

24   Room 332.  And if you're on the Finance 

25   Committee, just stay there, because the Finance 


                                                               3582

 1   Committee is going to go immediately following.  

 2   And then we'll bring the nominee here if he is 

 3   passed on by the committee.

 4                So an immediate meeting of the Crime 

 5   and Corrections Committee, followed by a meeting 

 6   immediately after, in Room 332, for Finance.

 7                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   There's 

 8   immediate meeting of Crime and Corrections in 

 9   Room 332, followed by an immediate meeting of the 

10   Finance Committee in Room 332.

11                The Senate will stand at ease.

12                (Whereupon, the Senate stood at ease 

13   at 12:47 p.m.)

14                (Whereupon, the Senate reconvened at 

15   2:13 p.m.)

16                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   The 

17   Senate will come to order.

18                Senator DeFrancisco.  

19                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   Yes, is there 

20   a report of the Finance Committee at the desk?  

21                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   The 

22   Secretary will read.

23                THE SECRETARY:   Senator Young, from 

24   the Committee on Finance, reports the following 

25   nomination.  


                                                               3583

 1                As superintendent of State Police, 

 2   Lieutenant Colonel George P. Beach, of Hurley.

 3                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   I move to 

 4   accept the report of the Finance Committee.  If I 

 5   have to.  If I don't, I don't move to accept.

 6                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   You don't 

 7   have to.

 8                (Laughter.)

 9                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   All right.  

10   All right.  Can you call on Senator Young, 

11   please.

12                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Be happy 

13   to.

14                Senator Young.

15                SENATOR YOUNG:   Thank you, 

16   Mr. President.

17                It truly is an honor and a privilege 

18   to move the nomination of Lieutenant Colonel 

19   George P. Beach, II, as superintendent of the 

20   New York State Police.

21                At this point I would defer to my 

22   colleague Senator Patrick Gallivan, who is the 

23   chair of the Crime and Corrections Committee.

24                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Senator 

25   Gallivan.


                                                               3584

 1                SENATOR GALLIVAN:   Thank you, 

 2   Mr. President.  And thank you, Senator Young.

 3                I rise to second the nomination of 

 4   George P. Beach as the next superintendent of 

 5   State Police.  He did pass through the Crime and 

 6   Corrections Committee unanimously.  

 7                Many of you know that at one point 

 8   in time I served in the State Police.  I worked 

 9   with George Beach for many, many years.  He has 

10   served over 30 years in the State Police, moving 

11   up through the ranks, almost every single rank, 

12   up to the executive level in the position of 

13   lieutenant colonel.  

14                He is incredibly qualified for this 

15   professionally, personally.  A man of honor, 

16   integrity, intelligence.  And I put all those 

17   things first because that's the type of person 

18   that we should have as the superintendent of the 

19   nation's eighth or ninth largest law enforcement 

20   agency, and New York's finest.

21                Beyond that, I also rise and am very 

22   proud to second this nomination as a long-time 

23   friend of George Beach's.  And on that personal 

24   note, I can't think of a finer, more upstanding 

25   individual of honor, integrity, the type of 


                                                               3585

 1   person that not only do we want in public 

 2   service, but to lead this great agency.

 3                So I congratulate the Governor on 

 4   this nomination, and I congratulate you, my 

 5   friend, Colonel George Beach, now to be 

 6   superintendent, and look forward to walking with 

 7   you in that capacity.

 8                Thank you, Mr. President.

 9                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Thank 

10   you, Senator Gallivan.

11                Senator Young.

12                SENATOR YOUNG:   Thank you.  I would 

13   like to chime in to the remarks of my colleague 

14   Senator Gallivan.

15                And we are very fortunate in 

16   New York State to have someone of such a high 

17   caliber who is willing to serve as superintendent 

18   of the State Police.  Lieutenant Colonel Beach 

19   has devoted his life to public safety, public 

20   service.  He has an extensive career, serving to 

21   protect the public, serving in emergency medical 

22   services, serving in firefighting and also 

23   conducting investigations.

24                He is dedicated to promoting 

25   positive change.  And he also is devoted to 


                                                               3586

 1   upholding the highest ethical standards.  He has 

 2   led by example, because he has done the hard work 

 3   that our brave men and women in the State Police 

 4   accomplish every single day.  He's been on road 

 5   patrol, he has been in manhunts, he has conducted 

 6   murder investigations -- all of the hard work of 

 7   the people who serve in our distinguished State 

 8   Police has been done by this individual.  And 

 9   leading by example is critical if you are working 

10   to be the head of such an important state agency.

11                So it is with great pride that I 

12   also nominate and put forward the name of 

13   Lieutenant Colonel George P. Beach, II, as 

14   superintendent of the New York State Police.

15                Thank you, Mr. President.

16                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Thank 

17   you, Senator Young.

18                Senator Nozzolio.

19                SENATOR NOZZOLIO:   Thank you, 

20   Mr. President.  On the nomination.

21                Mr. President and my colleagues, I 

22   rise in support of this nomination, joining 

23   Senators Young and Gallivan in supporting what I 

24   believe will be a very successful new 

25   superintendent of the State Police.  


                                                               3587

 1                In the course of my representation, 

 2   I've been honored to be in the confirmation 

 3   process of at least half a dozen superintendents, 

 4   and certainly many of them have served with 

 5   distinction, especially retiring Superintendent 

 6   D'Amico.  Superintendent McMahon, who served with 

 7   distinction for many years, comes to mind.

 8                Listening to Colonel Beach 

 9   discussing the mission statement that he brings 

10   to this new job was extremely gratifying to me 

11   and I believe demonstrates clearly that our new 

12   superintendent is on the right track.

13                The demands on the State Police are 

14   many, from helping in our schools, on our roads 

15   throughout upstate, providing tremendous law 

16   enforcement services.  We see those each and 

17   every day.  But there are many services that our 

18   New York State Police provide that we do not see, 

19   particularly in the areas of cybersecurity as 

20   that becomes much more of a growing threat across 

21   the businesses and individuals and governments of 

22   New York State.  The new superintendent is 

23   committed to working on those important issues.

24                That again, I wish Superintendent 

25   Beach all good speed and success during his 


                                                               3588

 1   tenure, and that I do hope that he will certainly 

 2   have a career that is among those most emulated 

 3   as the former superintendents of the finest 

 4   police force, I believe, in the nation.

 5                Thank you, Mr. President.  I proudly 

 6   support this nomination.

 7                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Thank 

 8   you, Senator Nozzolio.

 9                Senator Amedore.

10                SENATOR AMEDORE:   Thank you, 

11   Mr. President.

12                I rise today in support of this 

13   nomination.  I'm extremely proud that the next 

14   superintendent of the State Police, Lieutenant 

15   Colonel George Beach, is a constituent of mine in 

16   the 46th Senate District.  He lives in the town 

17   of Hurley.  

18                I had the opportunity to spend some 

19   time with him, and after reviewing his impressive 

20   accomplishments within the ranks of the 

21   State Police, I have great confidence that he has 

22   the experience, the courage, and the convictions 

23   to excel in his new leadership role.

24                In more than 30 years experience of 

25   service, he has worked his way up through the 


                                                               3589

 1   ranks of the New York State Police, building 

 2   extensive experience in crisis response, in 

 3   emergency management, in policy development and 

 4   administrative operations.  His experience will 

 5   serve the residents of the State of New York very 

 6   well in his new role.

 7                Our State Police are on the 

 8   front lines of keeping our communities safe 

 9   throughout the State of New York, and I want to 

10   congratulate you, Colonel Beach.  

11                But more importantly, I want to 

12   thank you for deciding to continue your public 

13   service to this great state by taking on this 

14   ambitious challenge.  And I am sure we will all 

15   continue to be protected, that as you serve and 

16   as you lead our great State Police force, we will 

17   all feel safe and know that we have a very good 

18   leader at the helm.  

19                Congratulations, and thank you.

20                Mr. President, I support this 

21   nomination.

22                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Thank 

23   you, Senator Amedore.

24                Senator Croci.

25                SENATOR CROCI:   Thank you, 


                                                               3590

 1   Mr. President.  I rise in support of this 

 2   nomination.  

 3                Certainly the men and women of law 

 4   enforcement know better than any other, this is a 

 5   time for law enforcement in this country that is 

 6   not for the faint of heart.  It takes a very 

 7   unique individual to lead an organization of law 

 8   enforcement, especially at the scope and 

 9   professionalism of those of the State Police, the 

10   state troopers.

11                This nomination comes at 

12   particularly important juncture in our state's 

13   history, with the threats of international 

14   terrorism to New York and the new challenges that 

15   domestic radicalization pose on our state and our 

16   nation.  I believe that Colonel Beach is 

17   precisely the right man at precisely the right 

18   time in New York's history to be leading this 

19   organization.  

20                And the men and women of the 

21   troopers consider him to be a trooper's trooper.  

22   And it's very rare in military or in uniformed 

23   services, in law enforcement, that you get to 

24   choose your own leader.  But I have a feeling if 

25   the troopers were to have the opportunity to 


                                                               3591

 1   choose their own leader, it would be Colonel 

 2   Beach.

 3                And so I compliment the Governor on 

 4   an excellent choice to lead the state troopers, 

 5   and I congratulate our new superintendent.

 6                Thank you.

 7                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Thank 

 8   you, Senator Croci.

 9                Any other members wishing to be 

10   heard?

11                Hearing none, the question is on the 

12   nomination of Lieutenant Colonel George P. Beach 

13   as superintendent of the State Police.  All in 

14   favor signify by saying aye.

15                (Response of "Aye.")

16                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Opposed, 

17   nay.

18                (No response.)

19                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:    

20   Lieutenant Colonel George P. Beach is hereby 

21   appointed superintendent of the State Police.

22                (Standing ovation.)

23                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:    

24   Superintendent, on behalf of a grateful state and 

25   the New York State Senate, we congratulate you.


                                                               3592

 1                Mr. Floor Leader.

 2                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   And 

 3   Superintendent, it's okay to smile.  It's okay.  

 4                (Laughter.)

 5                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:    

 6   Congratulations.

 7                Can we now return to messages from 

 8   the Assembly.

 9                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   The 

10   Secretary will read.

11                Excuse me.  Floor Leader, we can't 

12   do that just yet.

13                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   Then can we 

14   return to motions and resolutions.

15                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Motions 

16   and resolutions, we can.

17                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   We can do 

18   that?

19                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   Yes, sir.

20                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   All right, 

21   let's do it, then.

22                I wish to call up Senator Hannon's 

23   bill, 7873A, recalled from the Assembly, which is 

24   now at the desk.

 1   Secretary will read.

17                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   Is there any 

18   further business at the desk other than, 

19   potentially, new amendments?  

20                Oh, excuse me.  Under motions and

13   delivered.  Is that fair to say?  

14                ACTING PRESIDENT AKSHAR:   That's 

15   very fair, Floor Leader.

16                SENATOR DeFRANCISCO:   Is it also

19   correct.

21   So we won't officially adjourn until -- there 

22   will be no further business other than 

23   amendments, motions and resolutions amending 

24   bills.  So everyone is free to leave if they 

25   choose to.


                                                               3647

 4   12:30 for session, intervening days being 

 5   legislative days.  

 6                We're not doing that yet, we'll be 

 7   doing that after the other resolutions.

 8                Thank you.  We will remain at ease.
