Tax-cut maneuvering begins in Albany over gasoline tax
In Albany dueling proposals from Democrats and Republicans race to outflank each other on gasoline tax cuts as all lawmakers face re election. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver backs a two month sales tax repeal on gas plus local option to drop local gas tax shares. Senate leader Joseph Bruno seeks full repeal with a year long effect and claims a billion dollar budget surplus supports the move. Governor Pataki signals support but warns of trade offs in budget talks.
