I just left the budget hearing on taxes…it had ended with a lonely 10 people scattered across the audience. I wondered where the Occupy Albany/Wall Street kiddos were…I had walked all through the LOB, Capitol and Concourse and hadn’t spotted a “rabble rouser” one. Then I saw it, on a table directly behind Mr. Kink…a neat stack of ten or so OA/OWS flyers with the Title “Occupy Albany & Occupy Wall Street Denounce a Tax Policy for the 1%. Fully extend the Millionaires Tax and Cut Corporate Tax Loopholes!” Pretty impressive, huh?
The list of speakers addressing the legislature’s joint budget committee included:
Thomas Mattox
NYS Department of Tax and Finance
Jon Whitely
NYS Property Tax Reform Coalition
Fred Wander
O”Connell and Aronowitz Law Form
