The legislation was spearheaded by Dr. Evan Garfein of Montefiore Medical Center.

Under his proposal, drugmakers that violate the law would be fined between $15,000 and $250,000 per violation, and health care professionals would be fined between $5,000 and $10,000 per violation. The state Department of Health would be responsible for enforcement, but would rely on complaints to identify violators. The Paterson administration estimates the change will generate little money for the state through cutting the ...

It seems New York politicians are running into a similar problem. According to an AP report, the state’s 100 richest taxpayers have paid $1 billion less than expected following a big tax hike. The story notes that several rich people have left the state, and all three examples are about people who have redomiciled in Florida, which has no state income tax. For more background information on why higher taxes on the rich do not necessarily raise revenue, see this three-part Laffer Curve video series (here, here, and here): Early data from New York show the higher tax rates for the wealthy have yielded lower-than-expected state wealth. …[New York Govern...

Rudy is behind if he runs against Democrat Attorney General Andrew Cuomo but by only 7 points. It’s a knockout for Rudy Giuliani if he’s the Republican candidate for governor in New York next year running against incumbent Democrat David Paterson. But if Andrew Cuomo is Giuliani’s opponent, chalk up a win for the Democrat. At least that’s the way it looks in the summer of 2009. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows Giuliani beating Paterson by 22 points, 55% to 33%. Eight percent (8%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent are undecided. However, Cuomo tops Giuliani by seven points – 48% to 41% – in a ...

The New York Post had it first last night and then as Allah puts it a clusterfark of spin occurred. 1. She was worried about Teddy.2. She was pushed out by Teddy because he wants his wife to inherit his own Senate seat and was worried about Kennedy overload.3. She didn’t want to disrupt her family by moving to D.C.4. She decided she never really wanted it.5. She felt guilty that Paterson was being strong-armed into picking her.6. She found out Paterson wasn’t going to pick her and wanted to get the drop on him.7. She “became aware of a personal situation that was occurring,” perhaps as recently as within the last two days. But, alas, Sweet Caroline is...

There are probably scores of politicians in New York who now regret not pursuing the post of Lt. Governor. And there are probably a lot of New Yorkers that will be surprised to learn that their new Governor is not only Black, but legally blind.The position of Lieutenant Governor in New York has always been a somewhat weak one, and one that is not eagerly sought after. And no one ever envisioned the youthful and energetic Spitzer would ever need to be replaced. And when the job is playing second fiddle to one with an ego as large as Spitze...
