MIAMI, Florida, Dec. 8 -- The Florida Senate issued the following news release on behalf of Florida State Sen. Annette Taddeo, D-Miami:
State Senator Annette Taddeo (D-Miami) filed the Corporal Punishment bill, SB 1058, which bans corporal punishment on students with disabilities and autism as well as places restrictions on the use of corporal punishment in schools, including requiring school principals to notify and obtain parental written consent before being allowed to administer corporal punishment. State Representative Juan Fernandez-Barquin (R-Miami) has filed the companion bill in the House,HB 781.
"It is hard to believe that in 2019, the state of Florida, one of 19 states, that still authorizes public schools to discipline our students using corporal punishment," said Senator Taddeo, who has been fighting against this practice.
"The problem is that even in the counties where corporal punishment is not allowed, we have seen one too many cases of autistic kids being hit and not being able to hold the teacher accountable because state law allow it" she added.
"I am proud to work on this great bipartisan bill with my State Senator Annette Taddeo. This bill makes corporal punishment more difficult to be doled out in our schools, protects our students, and most importantly, protects the most vulnerable students - those with disabilities," said Rep. Fernandez-Barquin.

WILMINGTON, Delaware, Dec. 8 -- Gov. John C. Carney, D-Delaware, issued the following statement:
Governor John Carney on Friday released the following statement on the U.S. Supreme Court's grant of certiorari in The Governor of Delaware v. Adams, agreeing to hear a Court of Appeals decision invalidating longstanding provisions of the Delaware Constitution that require political balance on the state's courts:
"We're pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court has decided to review the lower federal court decision regarding political balance on our state courts," said Governor Carney. "Delaware's judiciaryhas a longstanding reputation as objective, stable, and nonpartisan. That is largely thanks to the wisdom of those who wrote the Delaware Constitution. They understood the importance of keeping partisan politics out of Delaware's courts, which are widely respected nationwide for their excellence and garner tremendous respect from our citizens and members of our bar. I believe it's more important than ever to protect Delaware's appointment process from the partisan infighting that has come to characterize the federal appointment process. We look forward to presenting our case to the Court."
The Governor of Delaware v. James R. Adams case involves the proper interpretation of earlier Court rulings that concluded that lower-level government employees may not be fired on account of their politics -- but carved out an exception for those in higher-level roles, including in policymaking roles.
The Governor's petition noted that every other court to address the issue has held that judges are policymakers who fall outside the scope of the earlier decisions. Citing other U.S. Supreme Court decisions, the petition stressed that the lower court ruling violates the state's sovereign Tenth Amendment right to determine the qualifications of their most important governmental officials -- a right "that lies at the heart of representative government." The petition also notes that if the lower court's decision were correct, it would cast doubt on dozens of federal and state agencies whose commissioners must, by law, be bipartisan.
Governor Carney is represented by Stanford Professor and former judge Michael McConnell; former Delaware Supreme Court Justice Randy Holland; Steffen Johnson and Brian Levy, all of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C.; and by David McBride, Martin Lessner, and Pilar Kraman of Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP.

- Steel and Concrete Superstructure Complete, Installation of the Final Phase of Non-Structural Steel Now Underway - Design-Build Project is On-Time and On-Budget
- International Contemporary Furniture Fair and LightFair to be First Event Hosted in Expanded JavitsCenter, Expected to Attract More Than 40,000 Design Professionals
* * *
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the historic $1.5 billion expansion of the Javits Center will be substantially complete by March 2021. The massiveproject, which will add 1.2 million square feet of total event-related space on Manhattan's West Side, is moving toward an on-time, on-budget completion with the expansion's steel and concrete superstructure finished and installation of the final phase of non-structural steel underway. The Governor joined members of the project team and construction workers to sign one of the last steel beams to be installed at the site. Expanding the Javits Center, the busiest convention center in the United States, furthers Governor Cuomo's efforts to continue New York City's role as a leading tourism, hospitality and business destination. The first event hosted at the newly-expanded convention center will be the joint International Contemporary Furniture Fair and LightFair in May 2021. The combined design-industry events are expected to attract more than 40,000 design professionals to New York City.
"New Yorkers expect action, and the expansion of the Javits Center through the design-build process is delivering results in a safe, streamlined fashion that will generate a new wave of economic activity for the Empire State," Governor Cuomo said. "With so many jobs dependent on large-scale events hosted here, the JavitsCenter has become one of New York's most important economic assets, and this expansion will ensure it remains the nation's busiest convention center for generations to come. As an iconic hub of commerce and culture, it will become one of the most sought-after event venues anywhere in the world."
Boasting state-of-the art equipment and cutting-edge technology, the expanded Javits Center on Manhattan's West Side will feature 50 percent more front-of-house and back-of-house areas, including new exhibit and meeting room spaces, a glass-enclosed rooftop pavilion and a truck marshaling facility that will accelerate event operations and reduce traffic congestion. Thanks to the innovative design-build process and proper planning and coordination, the $1.5 billion project is on-time and on-budget, with substantial completion by March 2021.
The first event hosted at the newly-expanded Javits Center will be the International Contemporary Furniture Fair and LightFair, which last month committed to co-locating their events at Javits in 2021, 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029. Boasting over 600 exhibitors spanning furniture, seating, carpet, flooring, lighting, textiles, and more, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair is North America's premier platform for global design. The International Contemporary Furniture Fair attracts exhibitors from 35 countries and an audience of more than 14,000 architects, interior designers, visual merchandisers and retailers. Similarly, LightFair is the world's largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference, drawing over 500 exhibitors and 175 conference presenters. Attendance at LightFair reaches more than 28,000 lighting designers, specifiers, architects and engineers from over 70 countries. The combined International Contemporary Furniture/LightFair is expected to attract over 40,000 attendees to the expanded Javits Center.
The expansion project's steel and concrete superstructure is fully installed, and all concrete and steel work is expected to be finished by March 2020, exactly three years after the project's groundbreaking. In total, 13,940 tons of steel have been fabricated. Upon completion, the expanded Javits Center will feature more than 200,000 square feet of new meeting room and pre-function space, including a 54,000 square-foot special event space -- the largest event space of its kind in the Northeast. All of the new exhibition and meeting spaces will be equipped with the latest technology in lighting fixtures, heating and cooling systems and wireless connectivity. Importantly, the newly-expanded Javits Center will feature 500,000 contiguous square feet of event space, which will help the facility attract international business conferences.
Spearheaded by Governor Cuomo and Empire State Development, the project will create up to 6,000 new jobs, generate nearly $400 million in additional annual economic activity and attract more blockbuster events from around the world, including high-impact business conferences, product launches and fundraising galas. The project is part of Governor Cuomo's statewide plan to upgrade critical infrastructure and transportation facilities to spur job creation and economic activity.
New Yorkers expect action, and the expansion of the Javits Center through the design-build process is delivering results in a safe, streamlined fashion that will generate a new wave of economic activity for the Empire State.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
Empire State Development Acting Commissioner and President & CEO-Designate Eric Gertler said, "TheJavits Center is one of the strongest supporters of New York's hotel, restaurant, tourism and transportation industries, and this expansion will ensure that this connection remains strong. Thanks to Governor Cuomo's leadership and the innovative design-build process, construction has moved forward at a swift pace -- keeping this massive project on-budget and on-time to deliver a real economic boost to the Empire State."
President and CEO of the New York Convention Center Operating Corporation Alan Steel said, "Events in New York City will never be the same, thanks to this unparalleled expansion in the heart of the greatest city in the world. The Javits Center is a unique place where business and cultural leaders from around the world come together to share ideas that move our society forward. With the construction of more than 1 million square feet of new space, this building will reach its true potential as an economic engine for the Empire State while improving the quality of life for our neighbors."
As part of the expansion project, a four-level truck marshaling facility will be built, relocating more than 20,000 event-related trucks off nearby streets annually while reducing area congestion and pollution. The addition of 27 new loading docks also will increase the efficiency of the move-in and move-out periods for events, creating more room on the calendar for additional events. Building on the success of the convention center's 6.75-acre green roof, a one-acre rooftop farm, the largest of its kind in Manhattan, will be constructed, and up to 40,000 pounds of produce will be grown annually and incorporated into meals served at the venue. Upon completion, the project is expected to be certified LEED Silver by the U.S Green Building Council, the same certification as the existing building.
A joint venture of Lendlease and Turner is leading the construction of the expansion project with design services provided by tvsdesign. At the height of project activity, more than 3,000 construction workers will be working on the construction site at the north end of the campus. Major highlights of the construction process so far include:
* The expansion's steel and concrete superstructure is fully erected, and final non-structural steel and concrete work is ongoing;
* Panels of bird-friendly glass are being installed, providing views of the convention center's green roof, the Hudson Yards development and the Hudson River; and
* All foundation work adjacent to the Lincoln Tunnel was completed without incident directly above two operating tubes for the tunnel that connects New York and New Jersey, a major engineering feat for the design and construction team.
One of the keys to the success of the massive expansion project is ensuring the Javits Center remains open for business at all times during construction and day-to-day operations are not negatively impacted. Enabling event-related operations to continue uninterrupted is a testament to the close collaboration among state officials, architects, contractors, convention center employees and event producers. Lehrer Cumming and AECOM/Tishman Construction are serving as a project advisor and consultant to the New York Convention Center Development Corporation, a subsidiary of Empire State Development that is overseeing the project. The development of a new transformer building, led by AECOM/Tishman Construction, also continues. This three-story structure is currently powering the existing facility and will power the expanded convention center upon completion.
Expansion project highlights include:
* New glass-enclosed entrance on 11th Avenue at 38th Street;
* Creation of 500,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space on one level with the addition of 90,000 square feet of prime exhibit space;
* 107,000 square feet of new meeting room space, including a 54,000 square-foot special event space, the largest such space in the Northeast;
* 113,000 square feet of pre-function space;
* Rooftop pavilion and terrace accommodating 1,500 individuals;
* 480,000 square-foot, four-level truck marshaling facility;
* 27 new loading docks; and a
* One-acre rooftop farm.
Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer said, "Today's announcement marks yet another milestone for the evolution of our borough's West Side, providing much-needed event and community space and driving the city's economy. I applaud Governor Cuomo for his leadership in bringing this project over the finish line and ensuring New York continues to lead."
Senator Brad Hoylman said, "More than 2 million people from around the globe visit the Javits Center each year, bringing exciting programs and economic activity to Manhattan's West Side. Renovations to the JavitsCenter will create up to 6,000 new jobs and ensure this space is a vibrant part of New York City for decades to come, thanks to the leadership of Governor Cuomo, Empire State Development Acting Commissioner Gertlerand Javits Center President & CEO Alan Steel. I'm looking forward to our city welcoming thousands of guests to the newly-renovated Javits Center in 2021."
New York State AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento said, "Today's announcement is just another example of Governor Cuomo's leadership in encouraging state-of-the-art development and growth throughout the state. This project has and will continue to provide hundreds of New York's hard-working men and women with good-paying jobs and will continue the transformation of Manhattan's West Side."
Building & Construction Trades Council of Greater NY President Gary LaBarbera said, "Thanks to Governor Cuomo, this innovative project has and will continue to support solid union jobs for New York's workers and continue to bring much-needed community space to the West Side. The Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York looks forward to seeing the expansion of the Javits Center through its completion."
Executive Vice President of Emerald Expositions, which owns and operates the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, Gannon Brousseau said, "Expanding the Javits Center in the heart of New York City will make it one of the most desirable venues in the country, and we applaud Governor Cuomo and his team for their bold vision. The new spaces will allow ICFF to diversify its offerings and serve as a truly multi-discipline design resource center for North America."
Lightfair Show Director Dan Darby said, "The Javits Center is the heart of the events industry in New York, and thanks to Governor Cuomo's leadership, its unprecedented expansion will allow our industry to grow in new and exciting ways. We look forward to using the center's updated spaces and amenities to present an engaging and inspirational LightFair experience for all of our attendees."

Okay. Good afternoon. It is a bright, sunny afternoon, little chilly but workers are working on a Saturday and that's one of the reasons this project is coming along as quickly as it is. I'd like to acknowledge our guests here. First, Alan Steel who is the President and CEO of Jacob Javits Convention Center, who's been doing a marvelous job overseeing this project. Mario Cilento who is President of the New York State AFL-CIO, representing all the women and men who are working on this project and will be working thanks to this project. We have Eric Gertler who is President and CEO of Empire State Development Corporation which is the state's main development arm. And we have representatives from Turner Construction, Lendlease, and Lehrer Cumming who are actually building the project and are getting it done in record time. We're on time and we're on budget. Which are the two favorite expressions that I love to hear.
We also have representatives from Emerald Expositions and International Market Centers who have already booked the first show in the new Javits Center. What you see with the Javits is a component of what we are doing. We are building a new New York. It's going one piece at a time. But all the pieces are connected. New LaGuardia Airport with an AirTrain that takes you right into the city. New John F. Kennedy Airport. We rebuilt the Midtown Tunnel, the Robert Kennedy Bridge, the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. New Koscuiusko Bridge between Queens and Brooklyn. New Mario Cuomo Bridge. New Penn Station that's going to be opening right here which will bring more access, easier access to the Javits Center.
And then we have the Javits Center itself which opened in 1986 and it was a marvel when it opened. About 2 million square feet and it was a national leader. But that was over 30 years ago and the way the world works is either you build and you modernize or someone else does and they pass you by. And that happened in the convention space also. And the convention center is a major economic engine for all of downstate New York. You bring in thousands of people through this convention center and the ripple economic effect is tremendous. So we had to modernize, we had to innovate at Javits to remain ahead of the competition. And we're doing that in a big way.
The old Javits was about 2 million square feet. We're adding roughly 1 million square feet plus, 1.2 million square feet and the overall project will be over 3 million square feet. It's a $1.5 billion investment but it is an investment. That $1.5 billion will pay dividends. The new Javits will have a 53,000-square-foot ballroom. For those who like to dance, you can dance your feet off in that area. It'll have 500,000 square feet of contiguous open space. Importantly, it will have a truck loading area and garage that can get about 250 trucks which now are on the west side of Manhattan into a facility so the trucks will be off the west side to park, load and to unload.
The new Javits will create about 6,000 full and part-time jobs, 200,000 hotel nights - that's a 42 percent increase - which means more people are staying in hotel rooms. It's good for the hotel industry but it's also good for the restaurant industry, for the tourism industry, etcetera. The economic ripple effect is tremendous.
The construction is scheduled to be done March of 2021 and as I said the project is now on time and on budget and we anticipate it finishing in March and we're so confident that we already booked the first show for the new Javits in May of 2021 - the International Contemporary Furniture and Lighting Exposition - which will bring in roughly 40,000 to come in to see that show, just to give you an idea of the capacity.
So the new Javits, new Penn, new airports, new Long Island Railroad all working together to bring New York forward, to bring New York to the next level. When you look at this city, you look at this state, it didn't evolve. We built New York to what it is - the bridges, the subway system, the tallest buildings. That was New York. That's what made New York, New York. We always were the first, the most ambitious, the visionary. And somewhere along the way we lost that energy. We are now recapturing that energy and we're building not just for today. We're building to bring New York to a higher level than ever before, and just as our forbearers did for us and built this magnificent place, it's our obligation to rebuild this city and rebuild this state so when we hand it off to our children, we give them a place that is better than the place we inherited and we will do just that.
With that, let me turn it over to Mario Cilento who's head of the AFL-CIO. If it wasn't for the women and men of organized labor, who are the most skilled workforce in the United States of America, the most dedicated workforce, who are doing more work than they have done in decades and are making it all happen as we see here today on a Saturday on this project, and they're working today on projects all across this state.
Give a welcome to Mario Cilento, President of the AFL-CIO.
We are at the structural construction phase. They'll be closing in the building now so they can work through the winter putting on the glass cladding, et cetera. So we're going to sign the beam, we're going to lift the beam and we'll be on the final phase of construction and then we'll see you March 2021, which will be on time. And if they really want to do something special maybe they'll even make it a little early. Thank you very much.
