New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's Birthday Celebration
Wednesday, December 7, 2016 - 6:30-8:00 PM - Host Reception 6:00 PM
B.B. King Blues Club and Grill -- 237 West 42nd Street (Between 7th & 8th Avenues)
Eric T. Schneiderman was elected the 65th Attorney General of New York State on November 2, 2010. As the highest ranking law enforcement officer for the State, Eric has taken on the tough fights to protect New Yorkers—because he believes there must be one set of rules for everyone.
Eric has won national recognition for his fight against crime and corruption on behalf of everyday New Yorkers who work hard and play by the rules. He has locked up corrupt politicians who ripped off taxpayers, prosecuted companies that gouged victims of Superstorm Sandy, and led the national effort to take on some of the largest banks in the world for their reckless misconduct.
Eric has worked to provide relief for families hit hard by the housing crisis. He created the Homeowner Protection Program to help New Yorkers at risk of foreclosure stay in their homes, a program that has already served over 43,000 New York families. He led the national effort that secured a $13 billion settlement with JP Morgan Chase and a $16 billion dollar settlement with Bank of America for their role in the collapse of the housing market—the two largest settlements of their kind in US history.
Eric has fought for justice for all workers, defending their right to a fair and decent wage for a full day’s work. Since 2011, he has returned more than $20 million in restitution to more than 17,000 workers who were cheated out of pay by employers.
While taking down major drug trafficking rings across New York State, Eric also created the Community Overdose Prevention (COP) Program—a $5 million commitment to equip law enforcement agencies with naloxone, a life-saving antidote that can immediately stop a heroin overdose.
Before becoming Attorney General, Eric was praised as a leading reformer in the State Senate by numerous editorial pages and good government organizations. Among his many legislative accomplishments, Eric led the effort to reform the broken and outdated Rockefeller drug laws, and he cracked down on health insurance companies trying to deny coverage to vulnerable New Yorkers.
