Said Walt Beadling of Cayuga Partners,
“The (AfA) survey report is most
timely as there is increasing awareness
of air cargo’s importance to both
our local economy and public health in
times of crisis. It highlights two areas
in which relatively modest investments
can quickly “lift all planes” for the JFK
air cargo community: information technology
to enable collaboration among
competing and often fractious supply
chain logistics partners, and the training
and education needed to provide
career paths for personnel involved
in this complex business, especially
cargo handlers, truckers and administrative
staff. The technology, expertise
and opportunities are there, the only
missing ingredient is the collective will
to break down long-standing walls and
make it happen.”
If you are interested in participating
on any of the sub-committees, please
let me know.

Punishing Human traffickers
Legislation supports damages
Governor Cuomo recently signed
legislation (S.672/A.3186) which allows
victims of human trafficking to recover
actual, compensatory and punitive
damages or other appropriate relief.
This legislation also amends current
law that requires an action to be commenced
within 10 years of victimization
to state an action can be commenced
within 15 years after victimization has
occurred.
“Human trafficking is one of the
most abhorrent crimes a person can
commit. Victims of these heinous acts
deserve swift criminal and civil justice
executed in a manner that respects
and adapts to the mental trauma they
have experienced,” Governor Cuomo
said. “No longer will victims of human
trafficking be forced to cover the financial
costs that accompany taking
their traffickers to court. This legislation
ensures that survivors are not left
financially strained while they work to
recover mentally and physically. New
York stands with victims of human trafficking
and applauds them on their
bravery in confronting their attackers
so that others may be spared from
these unfathomable experiences.”
