This simple, very simple answer to a very complicated problem:  The Defecit in New York is made simple.  Below it is being submitted again, by me in Sept. 2011, as it was revised since Feb. 2011.  It reads:

       Repeal of the 1979 Amendment to the New York State Stock  Transfer Tax of 1905

   Whereas, New York State implemented the 1905 New York State Stock Transfer Tax to provide needed revenues to New York State and

 Whereas, the intention of the 1905 Stock Transfer Tax was to give the New York State Economy and New York State Residents much needed revenue for maintenance and growth of New York State , and   

Whereas, The New York State Stock Transfer Tax is $.05 per share on each and every transfer and is paid by the investor, and

Whereas since 1979 New York State rebates the tax, not to the taxpayer, but to the Wall Street brokers and speculators, and

 Whereas, the time has come to restore necessary lost revenues to New York State as the 1905 Stock Transfer Tax was originally intended for, and

Whereas, a repeal of the 1979 Rebate of the New York State Stock Transfer Tax should be placed into immediate effect to maintain all revenues for the maintenance and growth of New York State ,and  therefore, 

      Be it Resolved, that the New York State Stock Transfer Tax Rebate be immediately Repealed and cease to exist, and therefore,

Be it finally resolved, that New York State collect and utilize all revenues from the 1905 Stock Transfer Tax for the maintenance and growth of New York State. 

  What does everyone think?

The Union Contractors were left out in the dark today. The Verizon Administrators failed to negotiate a new contract. This is as serious as it gets folks.

  The voice of the people must be heard and stop this from happening. Verizons profits carried over 19 plus Billion Dollars in the last 4 years, yet they also pay ” O ” taxes?

 Our Public Safety is also in jeophardy, Emergency Services will suffer greatly, this is not acceptable by any means.

 Dutchess County Residents deserve better than what Verizon Officials and Administrators are doing to us. Do not let the Verizon Administration cast aside our workers after using them for Profits alone?

  Last week, Dutchess County Super Majority Republican Party, 18 of them out of a total of 25 Legislators, otherwise known as the (GOP),  passes Multiples of Millions of bonds. Local Media has not even mentioned what they were for nor anything about Spending Dutchess County Taxpayers monies for them.  Why,? How is it allowed for the GOP to do this and get away with slight of hand? One would think when this type of news happens, the medias would print them. Maybe some are biased? I believe this is so, otherwise everyone would be speaking of the carelessness of Dutchess County Legislators. Fiscal responsability should be a Priority.  Hopefully when the media finally prints what is going on and who is Spending Large, Huge Millions of your Dollars, the Public would be in an outrage. Maybe that is the intention after all? Not to inform the people who is spending?

Doxsey writes: This was a Priority for the past years, yet nothing is being done to correct the problem. We are pouring Dollars after Dollars to other Counties, the time to stop was long ago. Still to this day not 1 viable plan has passed. Many have been introduced, the Super Majority GOP fails again and again. We’ll just have to wait for a new regime?  Sad, very sad indeed. Will the new Executive be an arm of the existing?

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.

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 “.
