New York seeks 137M in taxes from Marc Rich
New York state Tax Commissioner Arthur Roth announced a collection action seeking 137 million dollars from Marc Rich for back taxes 1980 through 1982 plus 111.9 million in penalties and interest. The case ties to corporate control claims and civil penalties after Rich's 2001 pardon by President Clinton.

Incomes and Spending Rise in January Market Report
Ben Papment reported that incomes including wages interest and government benefits rose 0.6 percent in January after a 0.4 percent rise in spending which increased 0.7 percent. The personal savings rate turned negative to 10 percent and analysts noted the rate does not fully reflect household finances. Government factors lifted income while federal benefits to farmers were subtracted. Unemployment insurance claims rose 44,000 last week due to auto manufacturing layoffs and weather. Fed Chairman Greenspan cited consumer confidence as a key factor in future progress.
