Impact of cutting meals to seniors (click to read story)
March 17, 2011
Cuomo planned cuts to programs for the aged
State Cuts FY 11-12 affecting Seniors
Council of Senior Centers and Services of NYC
e-ACTION ALERT
Feb 3, 2010
“YES, THE SKY IS FALLING”
CATASTROPHE FOR THOUSANDS OF OLDER NEW YORKERS AS
STATE BALANCES BUDGET ON BACKS OF SENIORS
TITLE XX CUT TO SENIOR CENTERS BACK ON THE TABLE -
“INTENDED CONSEQUENCES” – WOULD CLOSE 110 NYC SENIOR CENTERS
1. Title XX cut back – $25.2 million cut to NYC senior centers –
a.. Last year, the Governor’s office said this cut had “unintended consequences”. This year, Governor Cuomo has put the same cut back which would close 110 senior centers in NYC and cut aging services around the state – these are “intended consequences”. The total cut to aging services statewide would be $37 million, of which $25 million funds senior centers in NYC. Funds would move over to child welfare services which is considered a “mandated service”.
b.. Title XX has funded NYC senior centers for about 30 years. While senior services is technically an “optional” service under title XX, after decades of providing core support (25% of all senior center funding), clearly it is not an optional funding source for the survival of 110 senior centers and the thousands of elderly New Yorkers who will be devastated at the loss of their local senior center. It is time to take this cut off the table once and for all.
2. $7.4 million cut to NY State Office for the Aging: Budget bill eliminates funding for various programs and develops local competitive grant program – Governor Cuomo’s budget eliminates funding for all these programs and uses some of the funds to establish a competitive grants program:
a.. “Establish Local Competitive Performance Grant Program for Aging Programs. A new local competitive performance grant program for aging programs will be funded with savings created by reducing support for various programs (with current funding levels) including:
a.. Community Empowerment Initiative ($0.25 million)
b.. Congregate Services Initiative ($0.64 million)
c.. EAC/Nassau Respite Program ($0.24 million)
d.. Elderly Abuse Education and Outreach Program ($0.49 million)
e.. Enriched Social Adult Day Centers Program ($0.25 million)
f.. Foster Grandparent Program ($0.20 million)
g.. Long Term Care Senior Respite ($0.14 million)
h.. NY Foundation Home Sharing ($0.17 million)
i.. Patients’ Rights Hotline and Advocacy ($0.06 million)
j.. Regional Caregivers Centers for Excellence ($0.23 million)
k.. Retired and Senior Volunteer Program ($0.43 million)
l.. 2011-12 Value: $1.4 million; 2012-13 Value: $1.6 million"
a.. A total of $5.2 million annually is being cut from these programs, $10.4 million over two years. The competitive grant program is only $3 million over two years so funds leaving a $7.4 million loss of funds in total. CSCS is concerned that existing programs will be eliminated and that, overall, $7.4 million, will be lost in available dollars for services. It is our understanding that the Cuomo administration has established similar competitive grant programs in other state agencies as well. CSCS will find out more about the new local competitive performance grant program.
3. EISEP, SNAP and CSE funding –
a.. $5 million budget gap in EISEP, SNAP and CSE - Governor Cuomo’s budget left EISEP, SNAP and CSE funding the same. However, there is $5 million for EISEP, CSE and SNAP that is not in SOFA’s baselined budget that the legislature restored to prevent a previous cut. The state legislature needs to restore these funds.
b.. Budget bill does not proposed consolidating SOFA with DOH - However, Governor Cuomo has established a commission to look further into state agency consolidations. CSCS will keep you updated on this.
4. EPIC phased out – Governor Cuomo’s budget proposal ends premium subsidies for lower income seniors and only will pay in the donut hole. Since the donut hole is going to be closed by the federal health bill, eventually EPIC will be eliminated entirely. This goes into effect on January 1, 2012. Under this proposal, EPIC is being phased out as a state responsibility over the next ten years. Savings are $58 million this year and $93 million next year. EPIC was established under Governor Mario Cuomo.
5. Medicaid cuts - CSCS will be meeting with leaders in the Cuomo administration and the state legislature to discuss the important role community-based services could play in decreasing hospital admissions, nursing home placement and other costly Medicaid services. We are developing a series of recommendations that will be on our website soon. It is important that community-based service providers be part of the Medicaid re-design process as we have cost-effective programs to offer the state for both Medicaid and non-Medicaid eligible seniors. This is why it the March 2-3 Albany conference is so critical (see below) – to get educated and advocate for services.
We will keep you updated on these issues.
CSCS is still gathering information on the budget and will update you regularly. We will be reaching out to the aging services network to do advocacy to prevent title XX cuts and restore the $5 million to EISEP, SNAP and CSE. It is important to contact your state Assemblymembers and Senators.
The city is reviewing the state budget’s impact and will be releasing its budget on February 17th.
For further information, please contact Bobbie Sackman, (212) 398-6565, x226 or bsackman@cscs- ny.org

Fulton Street station scary story
This is a story of an exit to nowhere. One night people exited at this point and the entrance to the outside was barred. People had to use their metro card again to reenter the subway and exit via a different route. What if you didn't have any more money on your card?

Where was Bloomberg? January 5, 2011
Daily News article - Was it a snow day for all the honchos at City Hall
Missing in action has been an unending story for Bloomberg.
Published August 8, 2007, several additions follow Where's Bloomberg? August 8
Did he take the subway this morning? How can anyone take his candidacy for President seriously? A major failure of public transportation hits the city just weeks after he advocates congestion pricing. He has not made his presence known all morning.
Steam pipe explosion, August 8 subway failure and now also on Aug 8 a building under construction at 1916 Park Ave has collapsed.
Aug 13 - The East River turbines that were supposed to be an example of green power at work have failed after just a few weeks of use. The idea was to use the currents of the East River to generate electricity.
Aug 18 - The deaths of firefighters Beddia and Graffagnino should be evidence of how little leaders of the City of New York have learned since 9/11 Mayor Bloomberg and his lackeys fail as administrators.

Riverdale Senior Services had a terrific bazaar this past Sunday, October 31, 2010. All kinds of interesting items, I bought some fabric. A great selection of desserts. There was also egg salad, tuna salad all kinds of staples for lunch. I bought a raffle ticket. It was a lovely sunny day, just perfect for going to an event like this.

November 1, 2010 I received an email this evening from a member of the Amalgamated Board, explaining that the reference in the minutes should have referred to the old BXM 4A stop on Dickinson and Sedgwick.
Dickinson and Sedgwick Avenue bus stop is in danger of being discontinued. I just sent this email to Community Board 8.
I just received the highlights of the Amalgamated Housing Corporation of September 15, 2010. There is a sentence that says "Mr. Graham reported from the Community Board 8 Traffic and Transportation Committee of two issues, namely one being the removal of a bus stop on Saxon and Sedgwick Avenues in order to free up parking." Saxon is between two bus stops, one on Dickinson and Sedgwick, the other on Hillman and Sedgwick. These are heavily used bus stops. They should not be forfeited. It's bad enough that we don't have the Bx 1 local service we used to have, but to entirely lose our bus stops would be a hardship for the many to benefit the few who have cars.

From a Reuters story
I would like to remind Chancellor Merkel that German Jews spoke fluent German, served in the German army during WW I and were proud to be Germans. When Hitler rose to power, none of that mattered.
POTSDAM, Germany — Germany's attempt to create a multicultural society has "utterly failed," Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday, adding fuel to a debate over immigration and Islam polarizing her conservative camp.
Speaking to a meeting of young members of her Christian Democrats
(CDU), Merkel said allowing people of different cultural backgrounds to
live side by side without integrating had not worked in a country that
is home to some four million Muslims.I would like to remind Chancellor Merkel that German Jews spoke fluent German, served in the German army during WW I and were proud to be Germans. When Hitler rose to power, none of that mattered.

Oct 13, I caught the Bx 10 bus going toward Riverdale at about 10:50 am. I was at the Orloff and Van Cortlandt W. bus stop. The bus was standing room only. A nice young woman gave me her seat. This overcrowding, is a consequence of the lost Bx 1 local service for the stops preceding this one.
George Diaz of Oliver Koppell's office contacted me today, September 28. I hope it's the beginning of us getting our local Bx 1 service back.
Waiting for Koppell
George Diaz of Oliver Koppell's office contacted me today, September 28. I hope it's the beginning of us getting our local Bx 1 service back.
I sent email on September 16 and September 19 to Councilman Koppell. They both concerned the loss of Bx 1 bus local service during the week. I have yet to receive even an acknowledgment of my emails. Posted on September 23.

Borough Park, NY - Nursing Home Sold, 506 Employees Let Go -- VosIzNeias.com
This is frightening. For profit nursing homes have a bad track record for providing care. If you chose this place for yourself or a loved one, you can now be in a terrible situation. It is not always possible to move from one nursing home to another.

June 25, 2009 NYS Senate = Hall of Shame
June 24, 2009 - Thank you! Gov. Mark Sanford of S.C. ! I was beginning to fear the North was going to surpass the South in absurd government but no, it's not that bad yet. Gov. Paterson of N.Y. is here in the state, the legislature both Republicans and Democrats are acting like children but at least we have more of a semblance of government than the South Carolinians do.
