Toplines from call...
1.5 billion to be drawn down on
timetable from jurisdictions as
needed. Guaranteed for 5 years.
Skelos won't give tax increase. Gov
needs to Fund it through budget or it
doesn't happen.
Feedback gov has gotten is that you
guys will push for tax increase no
matter what.
He said We should back off tax so it's
not a loss for us.
This will be public tomorrow.
I did not challenge him on the votes
bc I didn't want to give away our
budget strategy.
I told him there are two outcomes
we get u pk with a tax increase or
we get upk with a deal on how to pay
with the Gov (we'll fight for our taxes
to be included in that deal however
it gets sliced- we're not backing off).
I told him We should talk about #2 as
a path forward. We agreed to talk on
Thursday.
I'm taking off for NYC and will
available on email, but I think this
crew needs to get on a call to
discuss.
a couple of thoughts:
We need CFE out there this week
assailing #'s
We need Shelly and IDC and Sen
Dems saying they will fight for it.
We need community groups saying
this is a litmus test for Dems. This tax
increase is important.

Quotes
We applaud Governor Cuomo for making statewide universal pre-k a priority in his
executive budget. But the money he is proposing is not enough for truly universal, full-day
pre-k and the afterschool program Mayor de Blasio has proposed, and does not guarantee a
dedicated funding stream at the level needed. In New York City, we need the tax plan that
Mayor de Blasio has laid out in order to generate dedicated resources for a full and secure
investment in both universal pre-k and after-school programs and our city should have the
authority to raise its own taxes to pay for the Mayors critical expansion of these programs.
We urge Governor Cuomo and the Legislature to pass Mayor de Blasios plan to raise taxes
on the wealthiest New Yorkers to expand pre-k and after-school programs, said the
Campaign for Children (not approved)
"The Governor is right to recognize that pre-k and after school are an essential investment
in New York's future. But unfortunately the budget he's presented makes it more clear than
ever that without new dedicated revenue from a tax on the wealthiest New Yorkers, there is
simply no way to make sure these programs reach all of our children, said Javier H. Valdes,
Co-Executive Director of Make the Road New York.
Were very encouraged to see that the Governor has prioritized pre-k and after-school
programs in his budget, as we know that these programs are essential for the success of our
children and working families. However, the funding he has presented is not enough to
expand these programs to serve all children. We need the tax plan Mayor de Blasio has laid
out in order to truly invest in our childrens futures, said Melanie Hartzog, Executive
Director ofChildrens Defense Fund New York. (not approved)
"We applaud Gov. Cuomo for putting Pre-K and after school front and center in the budget.
Now, we must work together to make sure these programs truly reach all our children. To
fulfill that promise, we need to find sufficient and stable resources which we can achieve
by giving NYC the ability raise revenue from the wealthiest New Yorkers as a stable funding
mechanism for UPK," said Hector Figueroa, President of 32BJ SEIU.
"Governor Cuomo is right to make Pre-K and after school a central part of his budget, but
the resources he has put forward are simply not enough to call his proposal 'universal.'
Giving every four-year-old the high-quality early education that studies show to be so
effective meansfinding new revenue, and the fairest way to do that is to give Mayor de
Blasio the authority to ask the wealthiest New Yorkers to pay just a little more in taxes," said
Camille Rivera, Executive Director of United NY.
I applaud Governor Cuomo for recognizing the critical importance of universal pre-K and
after-school programs for educational opportunity.He is right: we need the programs in NYC
and statewide. But the statewide money he is proposing doesnt even meet the needs of
New York City alone, much less the whole state.Therefore it's obvious that theLegislature
and Governor should give New York City the leeway to raise its own taxes to ensure
universal pre-K and after-school programs for all of New Yorks children. The importance
and feasibility of such an agreement are now in clear view thanks to the Governor's
commitment to these crucial programs, said Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute
at Columbia University and Special Advisor to the UN Secretary-General.
"The Governor has made a first step, but what he has proposed will not come even close to
true universal pre-k and after school for all New Yorkers. Albany has talked about fully
funding pre-k again and again for 15 years, but without new tax revenue as Mayor de Blasio
has proposed, there is simply no way to give our children the quality education they
deserve, said JonathanWestin, ExecutiveDirector of New York Communities for Change.

RE: Press Conference Tomorrow

Sorry
Yes correct
Checking back in on this this is not happening, right? We rep Food Bank NYC and do some stuff
with United Way and they were in a tizzy that MBDB was joining them tomorrow.
Will look
Youre not doing a presser tomorrow on SNAP cuts or anytime soon? Not sure what below is about.
Pls advise.
Do either of you know if a press release has gone out from the Mayor about a press conference
being hosted tomorrow?
The reason Im asking is because weve gathered leaders from all of the top human service
organizations to say no to snap cuts. When I imagined this I saw it as something to be done in
partnership with the Mayor. Ive been told that hes looking into doing it potentially tomorrow. In
the meantime, Joel has convinced the group that we cant wait and should definitely plan the press
conference without the mayor which makes NO SENSE TO ME if hes considering joining us.
So in a nutshell, I dont want to stand in the way of progress, but I also dont want to spin our
wheels when the most important voice on this RIGHT NOW is the MAYOR. Have you heard
anything???

RE: Audio - Q & A after Rules Committee
Tuesday, February 04, 2014 6:20:04 PM
Some audio on common core and pre-k tax (which I think is later). He was supportive of tax or said
that members generally are. Fink said he talked to 2 queens dems who were opposed. I think ss
knocked it down well.
