sight,” Cuomo said. “That
was Nick Perry who did
that.
“Assemblyman Perry
stepped up to the big
landlords, the powerful
landlords and said, ‘I’m
tired of seeing my people
abused, I’m tired of
seeing tenants abused.’
We have to reform rent
control and rent stabilization.
It’s not a giveaway
to landlords. Let’s protect
tenants from getting
displaced from their own
communities and their
own neighborhoods.
That’s Nick Perry,” the
governor added.
“Nick Perry stood up
and said, ‘we have to treat
each other as human
beings, with decency,’”
he continued. “And just
because you commit a
crime doesn’t mean you
forfeit your rights as a
human being. And he
stood up and stopped the
shackling of women who
are prisoners to a hospital
gurney. That’s what
we were doing, and Nick
Perry stepped up and
stopped it.”
For his efforts last year,
Perry was recognized by
the National Black Caucus
of State Legislators
as their 2018 “Legislator
of the Year.”
Several elected officials
attended the event,
including US Sen.
Charles “Chuck” Schumer,
of New York; New
York State Comptroller
Thomas DiNapoli; Rep.
Hakeem Jeffries (D-8th
CD); State Senators
Kevin Parker and Roxanne
Persaud; Assemblywomen
Rodneyse
Bichotte, Latrice Walker
and Tremaine Wright;
and Kings County Democratic
Party Chairman
Frank Seddio.
Perry was also sworn
in by Associate Justice
Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix at
the close of the ecumenical
service.
Pastor Charles Galbreath
of the Clarendon
Road Church, delivered
an inspiring sermonette;
and Bishops Mervin
Harding, Dr. R. C. Hugh
Nelson, Dr. Cecil G. Riley,
Fr. Edward Kane, Rabbi
Joseph Potasnik, Rev. Dr.
Kirkpatrick Cohall, and
Rt. Rev. Sylveta Hamilton
Gonzales brought
various prayers.
Genesis Fellowship
Choir and Felina Backer
dazzled the crowd with
musical performances
during the service.
Also sworn in were
58th Assembly District
Democratic State Committee
Members Melba
P. Brown and Cory Provost.
During his inaugural
address, Perry announced
another bill aimed at fixing
what he described
as “our broken criminal
justice system,” – “The
Prisoner Minimum Wage
Act.”
“This bill would serve
to end the last remnants
of slavery in New York
State by rejecting the
passage in 13th Amendment
of the United States
Constitution, which, yes,
still allows slavery in our
nation, within our jails,”
he said, stating that New
York inmates are currently
being paid as little as
$0.10 per hour or $3.00
per week.
