The Super Majority Grand Old Party (GOP) Voted last Month to EXTEND a Sales Tax for 2 MORE YEARS.

 This 3/4 of  1 % Extension will hurt our Residents and I am Against this Sales Tax Extension. I was approached by Albany leadership to weigh in on the 2 Bills in front of Governor Cuomo to sign, in the next 10 days.

 Dutchess County GOP continues to add Taxes to the Residents and the Medias put on the spin. However, here is the letter I sent on 6/21/2011 asking the Governor to VETO this and give the Dutchess County Residents some Relief:

  My thanks for the opportunity to weigh in on this Bill.

Below is his Vote and it surely will effect the fine Residents of Dutchess County for the next 2 years:

Poughkeepsie Journal Article May 24, 2011 Letter to the Editor: 

Recently I submitted a resolution in February 2011 to the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) in the Intergovernmental Relations and General Government Committee, a Committee on which I sit.

It is a resolution “Repealing the Amendment”  to the Stock Transfer Tax former New York State Gov. Hugh Carey had initiated in 1979.

The  Amendment Gov. Carey put into place gives the $ .05 cent tax on Socks transfered on Wall Street, even online Transactions in New York Stock Exchange,  back to the stockbrokers and speculators instead of back to New York State ? Why?

This simple Repeal allows the ” Original Stock Transfer Tax ” funding to go back to the State of New York.   ” A VERY Simple Solution indeed “!

The law was signed into law by former New York State Gov. Frank W. Higgins in 1905. This law assisted the country and helped fund World War I, World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars.

 Doxsey writes, ” Today, New York State is in a dire need to get out from a $12 BILLION Dollar Debt. The Stock Transfer Tax amounted to $16.5 BILLION Dollars in 2009. This would surely help New York State get out of debt in a years time “.

With the endorsement of the NYSAC sub-committee and its members, which consist of many counties’ legislators, supervisors and mayors, immediate implementation is my goal. We will submit a final draft at the NYSAC conference in Lake Placid this fall. Although I am eager to have it sooner, government moves slower than I wish.

 ” The governor has requested answers, not suggestions in very difficult times. This very simple repeal does just that “.
