Ron BickelmanHOST
Assemblyman Patrick Burke is apologizing for admittedly a careless and insensitive description in the proposal to change the state rape laws that drew harsh criticism from Western New York to a nationalized televised talk show.
Ron BickelmanHOST
The bill intended to close a loophole that allowed sexual predators to escape prosecution because their victims were voluntarily intoxicated, has been referred to Burke and other assembly members as the ruining drunk sex bill according to Burke, Democrat from Orchard Park.
Ron BickelmanHOST
Burke's remarks surfaced in New York Post article in which Chris Lake, a member of the NAACP and advocate for the bill, divulged that Burke made the remark to him on May 19th as he tried to convince Burke to support the measure.
Ron BickelmanHOST
"In May of this year, I was careless and insensitive in repeating a phrase I had previously heard to, heard to advocates," Burke said in a statement Friday.
Ron BickelmanHOST
Burke said he supports the bill, which is primarily sponsored by Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz, Democrat from the Bronx, and Senator Natilia Fernandez, Democrat from the Bronx, Westchester County, passed the Senate on June 4th by a vote of 60 to none, with the support of all six Western New York senators, but did not reach the floor of assembly where it remains in code's c- committee.
Ron BickelmanHOST
The article said Lake, said Lake said Burke had told him, "Me and my colleagues call this ruining the drunk sex bill," Lake said.

Sally HerzogNARRATOR
The proposal has recently been floated by legislature Jean Venell, who has begun contacting elected officials in Erie County to gather support for a law.
Sally HerzogNARRATOR
Per official recent contacts with elected officials, Vena's proposal would be based on previous attempts by former legislator Maria White in 2009, now Deputy Mayor, and former legislator Patrick Burke in 2017, now State Assemblyman.
Sally HerzogNARRATOR
to create a centralized county planning board.
Sally HerzogNARRATOR
That law stated the board will consider land use in the county of Erie, the effects of which can impact future generations from the standpoint of environmental protection, transportation, population density, resource allocation, clean air, clean water, public health, economic growth, groundwater protection and sustainability, and balanced development, and should be made by independent, informed, and qualified members of a county planning board.

I'm not sure if Baskin is this naive or simply patronizing us, but this is not serious legislating.
Jeff ShapiroNARRATOR
Speaking of which, Assemblymember Patrick Burke is doing a little patronizing of his own.
