Charles D. "Chuck" Lavine (born August 14, 1947)[1] represents District 13 in the New York State Assembly, which comprises communities located in and around Nassau County, including Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Glenwood Landing, Bayville, Old Bethpage, and parts of Glen Head, Locust Valley, Mill Neck, Oyster Bay, Centre Island, Cold Spring Harbor, Syosset, Woodbury, Plainview, Bethpage, Farmingdale, Hicksville, Westbury/New Cassel, Jericho, East Hills, Greenvale, Roslyn, Roslyn Heights and Roslyn Harbor.[2]

Early life, education and career

Lavine was born in Marinette, Wisconsin. He graduated from Marinette High School in 1965 and received a B.A. degree in English Literature from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1969. After coming to New York, he earned a J.D. from New York Law School in 1972.[1]

From 1972 to 1976 worked as a staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society of New York. From 1977 to 1995 he served as a partner in the law firm of Grossman, Lavine & Rinaldo in Forest Hills, New York. Since 1996, he has been a sole practitioner specializing in criminal defense work.

Lavine has been a Glen Cove resident since 1980. He and his wife Ronnie have two grown children, Gregory and Andria.[1]

New York State Assemblyman

In 2000 Nassau County Executive and Glen Cove Mayor Thomas Suozzi appointed Lavine to the Glen Cove Planning Board. In May 2003 Lavine was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Glen Cove City Council, a position to which he was subsequently elected. In 2004 he successfully ran in the Democratic Party primary election for an Assembly seat against six-term incumbent David S. Sidikman[3] and later that year won the seat at the general election, taking office in 2005.

Economic record

The Business Council of New York State rated Lavine's record at 25%.[4] In 2010, Long Island Business News reported that Lavine was one of three assembly members from Long Island who received a 0% job-growth rating from the Business Council of New York State.[5] He earned a higher rating of 45% from the New York National Federation of Independent Business.[4] Lavine earned a 90% rating from the New York City Americans for Democratic Action (NYCADA).[6]

MTA Tax Legislation

In 2009, he sponsored the MTA Tax legislation (payroll tax, increased DMV fees, and an additional 5% sales tax on car rentals).[7] Lavine was the only non-New York City Democrat who sponsored A8180 (the MTA Tax legislation).[7]

Speed Cameras

In 2014, Lavine sponsored legislation to authorize Speed Cameras to be installed in Nassau County school districts.

Temporary New York State Income Tax Surcharge

In 2011, Lavine supported an extension of the temporary New York State income tax surcharge on individuals earning over $200,000 annually.[8][9] This temporary surcharge was enacted in January 2009 to balance the New York State budget.[9][10] It will expire on December 31, 2011.[8][9]

Tenure and issues

During the 2010 legislative session Charles Lavine was assigned to the codes, health, judiciary, social services, higher education, and insurance committees. He also served as the chair of the subcommittee on trusts and estates.[11]

LGBT Rights

Lavine supports LGBT rights including same-sex marriage as well as opposing gender discrimination.[12] In 2009, he sponsored A7732 that would allow "same-sex couples the same opportunity to enter into civil marriages as opposite-sex couples".[13] Lavine sponsored A5710, a bill that would prohibit "discrimination based on gender identity or expression" and would define "gender identity or expression" as "having or being perceived as having a gender identity, self image, appearance, behavior or expression whether or not that gender identity, self image, appearance, behavior or expression is different from that traditionally associated with the sex assigned to that person at birth." In 2011, Lavine renewed his support for this legislation.[14]

Criminal defense work

David McClary

In 1988, Lavine defended suspected cop-killer David McClary.[15] McClary was later convicted of shooting police officer Edward Byrne "several times in the head at close range".[16] "Charles Lavine, McClary's court-appointed attorney, argued that the judge should go easier on his client than the others, because McClary had no criminal record. The pre-sentencing report, Lavine said, noted that McClary's interests were 'babysitting and basketball.'"[17]

Fadil Abdelghani

Lavine's client, Fadil Abdelghani, was suspected of attempting to attack key New York City landmarks.[18][19] Abdelghani was later convicted of terrorism. An appellate court upheld the conviction.[20][21]

Ellis Wood

Lavine defended Ellis Wood in 2002.[22] Wood was suspected of paying Rasheen Harry $500 to kill Carlisle Hall, an owner of a Crown Heights travel agency.[22] "Lavine said Wood gave Harry, a long-time buddy, $20 a few days before the murder out of charity, but that it had nothing to do with a murder contract."[22] After three days of deliberation, the jury found Wood guilty of hiring Harry to murder Hall.[23] "Charles Lavine asked the judge to leave the door open for parole 'in the very, very distant future' if his client proved he had rehabilitated himself. He noted that Wood had never been involved in such a serious crime, and that he was the victim of a tough childhood."[24] New York State Supreme Court Justice Anne Feldman sentenced Wood to life in prison without being eligible for parole.[24]

Red-light cameras in Nassau County

Lavine was instrumental in bringing red-light traffic cameras to Nassau County.[25] Not only did he receive praise from local community leaders for his efforts in the assembly but also Lavine for Good Government received a generous campaign contribution.[26][27] American Traffic Solutions (ATS), the beneficiary of the red-light traffic camera project in Nassau County,[28] donated $1,000 to Lavine's campaign in 2009.[27]
