DiNapoli will focus his remarks on legislation he is introducing to (1) refinance the state's "Superfund" to clean-up the numerous hazardous waste sites throughout the state; (2) codify a Voluntary Brownfields Cleanup & Re-Development Program. Other issues he will address include: (a) state financing for environmental protection, (b) reducing greenhouse gas emissions in cars, (c) expanding the "bottle bill" requiring deposits on more beverages and capturing the unclaimed nickels to enhance local recycling and provide fiscal relief to local municipalities.

Scott has been president, chief executive officer, and professor of anthropology and sociology at Adelphi University since July 2000, bringing to the century-old liberal arts and professional programs of Adelphi a modern philosophy of engagement with businesses, communities, civic groups, schools, and non-governmental international organizations, thus enriching the University's opportunities for teaching, learning and service, both on the campus and off.
