The185th New York State Legislature, consisting of theNew York State Senate and theNew York State Assembly, met from January 5, 1983, to December 31, 1984, during the first and second years ofMario Cuomo'sgovernorship, inAlbany.

Background

[edit]

On May 8, 1982, Senate Republicans and Assembly Democrats announced that they had agreed upon a new apportionment. The number of seats in the State Senate was increased from 60 to 61.[1] The new district lines weregerrymandered by the Republican Senate majority to increase Republican strength, and by the Democratic Assembly majority to increase Democratic strength.[2]

On June 23, 1982, a special panel of three federal judges ordered Special Master Robert P. Patterson Jr. to revise the new apportionment proposed by the Legislature.[3]

On July 3, 1982, the revised re-apportionment was approved by theU.S. Department of Justice.[4]

Thus, under the provisions of theNew York Constitution of 1938 and the U.S. Supreme Court decision to follow theOne man, one vote rule, re-apportioned in 1982 by the Legislature, 61 Senators and 150 assemblymen were elected in single-seat districts for two-year terms. Senate and Assembly districts consisted of approximately the same number of inhabitants, the area being apportioned contiguously without restrictions regarding county boundaries.

At this time there were two major political parties: theDemocratic Party and theRepublican Party. TheConservative Party, theLiberal Party, theRight to Life Party, theLibertarian Party, a "Statewide Independent Party", a "Unity Party", theNew Alliance Party, and theSocialist Workers Party also nominated tickets.

Elections

[edit]

The1982 New York state election was held on November 2. Lieutenant GovernorMario Cuomo was elected Governor, and Westchester County ExecutiveAlfred DelBello was elected Lieutenant Governor, both Democrats. The elections to the other three statewide elective offices resulted in the re-election of the three incumbent officeholders: a Republican Comptroller, a Democratic Attorney General and a Democratic U.S. Senator. The approximate party strength at this election, as expressed by the vote for Governor, was: Democrats 2,560,000; Republicans 2,249,000; Conservatives 230,000; Liberals 116,000; Right to Life 52,000; Libertarians 17,000; Statewide Independents 16,000; Unity 6,000; New Alliance 5,000; and Socialist Workers 4,000.

Sixteen of the nineteen women members of the previous legislature—State SenatorsCarol Berman (Dem.), ofLawrence;Mary B. Goodhue (Rep.), a lawyer ofMount Kisco;Olga A. Méndez (Dem.), ofEast Harlem, andLinda Winikow (Dem.), ofSpring Valley; and AssemblywomenElizabeth Connelly (Dem.), ofStaten Island;Pinny Cooke (Rep.), ofRochester;Geraldine L. Daniels (Dem.), ofthe Bronx;Gloria Davis (Dem.), ofthe Bronx;Eileen C. Dugan (Dem.), ofBrooklyn;Aurelia Greene (Dem.), ofthe Bronx;Rhoda S. Jacobs (Dem.), ofBrooklyn;Gerdi E. Lipschutz (Dem.), ofQueens;May W. Newburger (Dem.), ofGreat Neck;Toni Rettaliata (Rep.), ofHuntington;Gail S. Shaffer (Dem.), ofNorth Blenheim; andHelene Weinstein (Dem.), a lawyer ofBrooklyn—were re-elected.Anna V. Jefferson (Dem.), an accountant ofBrooklyn, was also elected to the State Senate.Cynthia Jenkins (Dem.), a librarian ofQueens;Helen M. Marshall (Dem.), a teacher and librarian ofQueens;Nettie Mayersohn (Dem.), ofQueens;Mary M. McPhillips (Dem.), ofMiddletown;Barbara Patton (Dem.), a lawyer ofHempstead; andLouise M. Slaughter (Dem.), ofFairport; were also elected to the Assembly. Gail S. Shaffer did not take her seat in the Assembly, and was appointed asSecretary of State of New York instead.

On May 24, 1983,Julia Harrison (Dem.), ofQueens, was elected to fill a vacancy in the Assembly. Thus the 185th Legislature finished having 23 women members, surpassing the previous record of 19 in the184th New York State Legislature (in 1982).

The 1983 New York state election was held on November 8. One vacancy in the Assembly was filled.

Sessions

[edit]

The Legislature met for the first regular session (the 206th) at the State Capitol inAlbany on January 5, 1983;[5] and recessed indefinitely on June 28.[6]

Stanley Fink (Dem.) was re-electedSpeaker of the Assembly.

Warren M. Anderson (Rep.) was re-electedTemporary President of the Senate.

The Legislature met for a special session on September 15, 1983, to consider changes to the laws concerning transportation of cargoes.[7]

The Legislature met for the second regular session (the 207th) at the State Capitol in Albany on January 4, 1984;[8] and recessed indefinitely shortly before 2 a.m. on July 1.[9]

An hour after midnight, on May 30, the State Assembly rejected after a stormy debate of many hours the proposal to raise thelegal drinking age from 19 to 21 years; the vote stood 80 to 69.[10]

The Legislature met for another special session on December 6, 1984. At this session, the legislators raised the wages of the legislators who were elected to the next Legislature; approved a sales tax increase for Erie County; and extended a corporate tax surcharge used to subsidize the New York City mass transit system.[11]
