Multiple calendar items were read and placed for immediate effect; the transcript shows repeated roll calls and announced results during the afternoon session. Many of the measures were recorded as passed; the floor tally for several calendar items was recorded as 59 ayes (unanimous among senators present) or as 50–51 ayes with 8–9 recorded nays on items where a bloc of senators opposed the measure.

Examples of calendar items taken up and recorded on the floor include (calendar/bill identifier and announced result as recorded on the floor):

- Calendar number 263, Senate Print 23‑64 (enacting in state law) — announced result: Ayes, 59; the bill passed.

- Title number 263, Senate Print 11‑83 (real property tax law) — announced result: Ayes, 59; the bill passed.

- Assembly Bill 6781‑B (discontinuance of parkland in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park) — recorded as passed; several senators, including Senator Ramos and Senator Krueger, recorded no votes in explanation.

- Multiple sequential calendar items listed on the 700–840 calendars (largely tax-law enactments and chapter amendment bills) were each read for the last section and recorded as taking effect immediately; most were announced passed with reported tallies such as \"Ayes 50, Nays 9\" or \"Ayes 51, Nays 8,\" depending on the calendar item.

The transcript shows handfuls of senators repeatedly recorded in the negative on clusters of tax-law items; the negative votes were reported in roll-call announcements (the transcript names multiple senators voting no on those calendar items). Where roll-call numbers were announced in the transcript, they appear after each read-last-section announcement, and the secretary or presiding officer announced the results.

The Senate also recalled several bills from the Assembly for placement on the third reading calendar and received and filed a number of committee and conference assignments, amendments and motions to retain bills on the third reading calendar. The session opened with ceremonial remarks and a moment of silence for veterans.

Because the chamber recorded dozens of separate calendar items in this session, this summary highlights the pattern of floor action: many technical and tax-related bills advanced with recorded roll-call results; several local matters and chapter amendments were also enacted.

\"This is not about a building or a parcel of parkland. It's about power,\" Senator Ramos said during her explanation of vote, describing town halls, a districtwide poll and constituent meetings she held before deciding to oppose the measure. \"A casino is not an answer to structural inequality. It's not a pathway to equity. And it's not the future I want to build for Corona, East Elmhurst, or any part of Queens.\"

Ramos said supporters of the project include a well-financed campaign and a developer she identified as \"Mr. Steve Cohen,\" whom she described as having a documented regulatory history; she asserted that the proposed development would extract wealth from working-class communities and risk increased gambling addiction and displacement.

Senator Krueger also explained her no vote, telling the chamber she opposed state-supported gambling and arguing that casinos are not economic development for neighborhoods that would lose local spending and face social harms. \"I particularly don't like government cosponsored gambling,\" Krueger said.

The legislative text on the floor was identified as Assembly Bill 6781‑B (authorizing the discontinuance of certain parkland in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park). The measure advanced on the calendar and was recorded as passed on the floor; multiple senators were recorded voting against the measure, including Ramos and Krueger.

Senator Ramos said she held three public town halls, released an online survey and met dozens of constituents before casting her vote, and said many in her district who support development did so because of long-term disinvestment. \"What I do question is the deal we're being offered,\" she said, urging a different model of development rooted in community needs.

The bill, as recorded on the Senate floor, does not itself authorize a casino; the text on the floor addresses discontinuance of parkland. Senators opposing the measure framed their votes as a defense of a broader vision of economic development for their communities.

The transcript does not record any new conditions or amendments attached to the bill on the floor. The bill's passage restores the ability to move forward with local planning and any future proposals that would depend on additional approvals.","Senator Ramos opposed an Assembly bill to authorize discontinuance of parkland in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, saying the proposal paves the way for a casino and raises community and developer concerns; Senator Krueger also opposed the measure.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6531342,"Senate honors 2025 Veterans Hall of Fame, passes resolution recognizing inductees",707,821000,1528000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3527474-7b8e70f84fa88175b1c0b820bb975b50&start=821&end=1528","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3527474-7b8e70f84fa88175b1c0b820bb975b50/thumbnail_821000.jpg","/articles/6531342/New-York/Senate-honors-2025-Veterans-Hall-of-Fame-passes-resolution-recognizing-inductees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6531342-9c836fb5cb7a5a1a68db0611dd36d601/orig.mp4?Expires=1770944902&Signature=oYYnZRfbUPsOx1zQadx0xUZq0QglLtRZ7Q-suPbnLoeb6zUlLHWEMcXKTtrVHPOpvqWaSjLxueKIB0p6q-0Aez4F8-KZf8JJK5512NQP2bF0SAXSITK6xdPSUgr4G5pUQmSSrDvGxmdVhD38fASozflUwqbw5j8h1YvkA1ShjcUKxkJNFS5kfqYB34b9AihYnItGK85VPscMSMJLrX1ofkgp~abzVJZ9neqzu0nqUnA5Payi3t7SuH~h6n18VkgXH0ISeuhovvjchy1SmN3AyNovDCLNX1vrquJazGRvmHoh5dg~-ml4iY92jFSzW7eTiLeYVJ9YF2HB3LfUO9v4zg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate unanimously adopted Resolution 1097 on the floor Wednesday, recognizing the 2025 class of the New York State Senate Veterans Hall of Fame.

Majority Leader Stewart Cousins introduced the resolution and framed the recognition as part of a two-decade tradition to honor veterans from across the state. \"Service transcends political parties,\" Cousins said, urging the chamber to honor veterans of World War II through Afghanistan and to address historical inequities in veterans' benefits.

Senator Scarcellus Spanton, chair of the Senate Committee on Veterans, Homeland Security and Military Affairs, described the Hall of Fame inductions as among the most meaningful moments of the session and highlighted one inductee, Louis Lupinacci, a World War II veteran who celebrated his 100th birthday and who attended the session. \"I proudly vote aye,\" Spanton said after describing Lupinacci's service at Normandy and later work helping fellow veterans transition to civilian life.

Other senators used the occasion to press for stronger support for veterans services. Senator Ashby noted the recent elevation of the division of veteran services into a department and urged increased funding: \"We just celebrated Memorial Day yesterday. Think about the sacrifices... We can do better.\" Senator Ort warned against conflating the soldier with policymaking and urged colleagues to recognize the unity and service of inductees.

The resolution was adopted by voice vote after the chamber recognized the inductees. The resolution text, read by the secretary, lists inductees and recognizes the state's effort to honor veterans' service.

The chamber opened the session with a moment of silence and an invocation before taking up the resolution; the Hall of Fame event was discussed on the floor immediately before the roll call votes on multiple bills.

The resolution does not create a funding appropriation or new program; it is an honorific recognition adopted by the Senate.","The New York State Senate adopted a resolution recognizing the 2025 class of the Senate Veterans Hall of Fame and included remarks from majority leader and committee chair stressing inclusion and veterans services funding.","actionData","errors"]
