Chambers Idea Gems A Down Payment On Community Legacy
Written by Miami Today on June 5, 2008
Some of the finest potential enhancements to our community can come not by paying outsiders to help but by growing innovative concepts ourselves.
The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce's weekend Goals Conference was fertile ground for literally hundreds of such innovative ideas, some already sprouting and others valuable seeds for future growth.
Nobody will learn of every good idea, because the chamber brainstorms its goals in concurrent meetings. Saturday morning, at least 11 sub-groups huddled simultaneously, with no detailed records to mine for conceptual golden nuggets from all-star casts of participants from business, government and the nonprofit world.
You'll hear later about the biggest goals. The chamber will work on some, pass on some ideas to other organizations. Other gems that deserve to stay on public agenda, however, might vanish without a spotlight.
Some of those little gems — small ideas with potentially large payback — include:
—Save both gasoline and lives by changing pedestrian signals at traffic lights from a blinking hand to a display of how many seconds before the light changes from red to green. The theory is motorists won't rev engines long before the change and pedestrians will know whether it's still safe to cross. It works in Europe, the conference was told. Why not here?
—Strengthen agriculture, Miami-Dade's third-largest industry, go greener and save government fuel costs by converting both boniato and algae to biofuel for use in the county's fleet. County Commissioner Katy Sorenson said she's already working with two south county farmers on the concept.
—Cut both road congestion and fuel consumption by shifting some county government agencies to four-day weeks and open for business later "so fewer county employees are traveling rush hours," Commissioner Carlos Gimenez suggested. Commissioner Barbara Jordan agreed, saying a four-day week has succeeded in the federal government.
—A broader approach to the days-and-hours issue to cut congestion and save fuel was to ask every Miami-Dade business to emphasize extensive telecommuting with staggered and condensed work weeks. The chamber has already set up flex time for its own employees. Truly, the way we work is changing rapidly — a fertile field for the chamber to plow intensively with a major effort among its members.
—Increase Metrorail and Metromover use by cleaning and guarding the stations, because guards aren't always around. "We need to see guarded platforms at all times," said Barbara Beaudry of Dialogue.
—Fund transit construction by allowing road impact fees from dense areas where roadways cannot be expanded to be used for transit capital, suggested Commissioner Gimenez. It would require a county ordinance.
—Build the community's international business base by restoring and updating a former chamber emphasis on promoting our services internationally. Lee Sandler, new head of the chamber's international areas, listed 27 service industries in the chamber's action data base, ranging from accommodations and hospitality to wholesalers, distributors and representatives. He suggested careful update of a list so old that it ignores the Internet.
—Enhance industry and lessen oil dependence by making Miami-Dade the capital of the Sunshine State's solar industries, said Commissioner Sorenson. To do that, she said, we must ease permitting for solar industries, because those that want to enter solar energy production have a hard time cutting red tape.
—Strengthen downtown retail by removing the parking penalty. After hourly rates in the old Omni mall garage rose "incredibly," said Intercredit Bank's Lianne Acebo, she changed her habits: "I shop less because I watch my time." That led Chamber Chairman Carlos Fernandez-Guzman to suggest parking discounts for those who buy locally, tying rewards to behavior modification.
—Build lifestyle in the urban core and transit use too by modifying behavior. "We have a wonderful asset" in the Metromover "just as we do in the major cities of the world," said chamber member Gary Goldfarb, recalling that he had parked in Brickell, taken the Metromover to the Omni area for dinner and then back to the car for the drive home and wondering why others didn't do the same.
Neisen Kasdin of Akerman Senterfitt seized on that example to suggest the chamber begin a program focused on "attitude adjustment, how you live in a city." He wisely labeled the combination of incentives and behavior modification downtown "one of the first really, truly new ideas" for a whole new chamber effort in the urban core. With luck, we'll soon see it in action.
None of these 10 bright ideas qualifies among the major issues on anyone's list for Miami-Dade's future. All focus on benefits instead of problems. But all offer real, tangible opportunities to greatly enhance our lifestyle — and none seems impossible, or even expensive, to accomplish.
As we probe these creative ideas, three lessons emerge.
First, capturing and seizing upon innovative thoughts that bubble up in a think tank of 1,000 committed Miamians can pay us untold dividends.
Second, none of these valuable ideas comes with a price tag of millions or billions, or with major land purchases, or with questionable public-private partnerships that end up costing taxpayers far more than they bargained for.
And third, nobody had to pay a high-priced consultant a penny to generate ideas that can propel our community forward.
Thank you, Greater Miami Chamber members, for your free and valued consultation. Now we look forward to your intense efforts to polish your gems to a brilliant shine and make these and the dozens of other great proposals of this weekend a legacy.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (270 votes).
In short: Too many entrants -impossible to overtake- really bad round the abbey. I reckon it cost me 2 minutes - my next race was a lot faster. Very squashed at the endDate of review: March 18, 2007
In short: Got a PB(!) but don't think the course, particularly the start, is suitable for so many entrantsDate of review: December 2, 2006
In short: Poor Organisation at start - and MORE RUNNERS = MORE TOILETS needed!!! Remember this ...Date of review: December 2, 2006
In short: I wouldn't call it a beginner-friendly race...In full: As an official plodder, my only goal was to finish without walking, which I did. I gave my estimated time before the race as 90 minutes, and that is pretty much where I came in! But for all the talk of this being beginner-friendly, I was VERY near the back of the race, barely anyone behind me, no one walking and felt pretty dejected at the whole experience. The marshals were lovely but traffic was opened up before I was hardly halfway around, which made me feel very rushed and as if my slowness was getting in the way. I did, however, get offered water at the abbey, and I take it that others missed this? No water at the finish though. Agree with others about the sad toilet situation. In summary, I would not recommend this race to beginners unless you are already pretty fast and pretty fit, or not easily intimidated!Date of review: December 1, 2006
In short: A very beginner friendly race and an excellent corse for anyone, runners ot non-runnersDate of review: December 1, 2006
In short: A bit confused at the start. timimg slots not well signedIn full: As previous review the roads were opened and it made life difficult for people.Date of review: November 30, 2006
In short: We had a lovely time but . . . In full: My sister and I were doing this as it was local to her and we fancied doing a race together. No pretensions to PBs or anything. A bit crowded at the start but we were at the back so it didn't matter. It's a fast course, the weather was perfect and it was great to have the Abbey as a marker. However, they opened the roads again about 50 minutes or so into the race so on the way back so slow people like us were funnelled into the cycle lane (with cars charging past) or onto the pavement. Not fun. Date of review: November 29, 2006
In short: Good mostly flat course for a fast time, did my fastest for this year. As per other comments could do with water-station half way round. Scenery not interesting out of the town, but is nice round the Abbey.Date of review: November 29, 2006
In short: Very Poor OrganisationIn full: I am just saying what alot of other people have been saying but I want to say it anyway. They start the race on the smallest street around. Why can't they start it one along as it is a road that doesn't really go anywhere because it leads to the park square one way system. That would avoid the problems of milling around wellington street. Or even in the entrance to the crowne plaza complex, that is very big and could easily cater for the number of people.Water would be nice but that doesn't bother me although I didn't see a single distance marker.The finish line could be made much wider, the headrow is a large road and the pavement there is massive. I ran into someone at the finish because it had become so congested. Finally the queuing for tshirts was ridiculous, there was no attempt to stop non runners getting in there so it just became really congested, why not have a couple of lines of fencing so people can be shepherded through chip drop off and tshirt collection and then if they want to loiter they can do it outside the museum.I spent most of the race trying to get past people but I do think it's impressive to close the kirkstall road.All in I would do it again but I think a bit of common sense needs to be applied and they should give consideration to the ideas that people on places such as this forum contribute.Date of review: November 29, 2006
In short: DisappointingIn full: I was disappointed by this race. It was very dull and felt much longer than 10K! The start was very disorganised and it was impossible to see where you should start for your predicted race time. As usual with most of these races, there was a distinct lack of adequate toilet facilities. A small row of portable loos for 4,000 people just isn't sufficient! There was a huge queue for the toilets and I, like may others was still in the loo when the race started! I would have expected a water station at the half way point in Kirkstall Abbey. Also rather annoying that they ran out of size small t-shirts. Despite the fact this is supposed to be a PB course, I did 5 minutes slower than my 10K PB (which was a cross-country hilly run!). I think the fact it felt so long and dull contributed to my lack of enthusiasm on the day. Would think twice before doing it again. Date of review: November 29, 2006

It's come up here, but really it's a cooking method that deserves its own thread. Like many things, this comes from Alton Brown, but I've made my own spin to create my favorite "cooking for one" meal.
1 package ramen noodles (save the seasoning packet for another use, if you have one)
1 frozen salmon fillet (4 oz.)
1 cup frozen vegetables (right now I'm using the bag with carrots, broccoli and cauliflower)
Put above ingredients, in order, in the middle of a square piece of aluminum foil (big enough for the step that comes later)
crimp up to make a funnel, and toss in some tarragon vinegar, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Crimp the foil up so that there is only a little hole at the top, and bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. Enjoy.

This is the way I mix my ingredients: I put together all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, sugar, yeast) and I put it in the mixer and blend it all for about 30 seconds. Then I get warm water from the faucet, pour the olive oil into the water and start the mixer, then I slowly pour the water in, which takes about 10-15 seconds.
Verasano ... I would love to try it; however, nowhere in your article can I find the recipe! What are the exact ingredients and their quantities?
same here verasano..I found your dough information facinating but like gschwim stated I would like to know the ingredient amounts for let's say 4 12inch pies..

Legislators split on bringing County Home resolutions to the table
MAYVILLE – County Executive Greg Edwards may want to know where legislators stand on the sale of the Chautauqua County Nursing Home, but they appear to be split in even bringing the resolutions to the table next week.
The Human Services Committee heard from Edwards and County Attorney Steve Abdella on Wednesday, regarding a resolution authorizing the sale of the County Home to Altitude Health Systems Inc. Additionally, it heard from fellow legislator Larry Barmore, R-Gerry, regarding a resolution of intent to sell the County Home. The Audit and Control Committee will also hear the resolutions this morning.
According to a memo to both committees from Edwards, "If the first resolution were to pass the full Legislature, the second resolution would be ruled out of order. If the first resolution does not pass the full Legislature, the second resolution will be available for action."
Abdella provided a background of the negotiations with the committee. The negotiations were assisted by outside counsel which deals with commercial real estate, as Abdella himself has not practiced commercial real estate in about 20 years. He also considered potentially utilizing health law counsel, as the negotiations are surrounding a nursing home.
Although Edwards and Abdella were hoping to bring the resolution to sell the County Home to the legislature last month, negotiations with William (Avi) Rothner were only completed last Friday.
The legislators had an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments to Edwards and Abdella.
"I'm comfortable with the contract, and I need to congratulate Steve and his team on the work that was done," said Vince Horrigan, R-Bemus Point.
Committee chairman Mark Tarbrake, R-Ellicott, and John Hemmer, R-Westfield, echoed Horrigan's comments. However, Timothy Hoyer, D-Jamestown, and Victoria James, D-Jamestown, had reservations on the resolution.
"We have been going kind of slow on this, taking our time, making sure things are right," James said. "Right now, I just feel kind of rushed at this eleventh hour … I know that outside, our constituents are getting a little antsy, telling us to 'sell, sell, sell, make a decision to sell.' At least, that's what I'm getting from my constituents. But, to do my due diligence, I would feel much more comfortable having the next voting session, at least, to be able to read this, absorb it and make an intelligent decision."
The committee voted 3-2 in favor of the resolution, with Hoyer and James as nay votes. Barmore then had an opportunity to present his resolution to the committee.
"I'm here tonight because I want to save the County Home," Barmore said. "The only way we are going to save the County Home is to stop the losses that it has now and make it a facility that can pay for itself. The only way we can do that is to sell it to a private interest."
Barmore said his resolution is asking whether legislators would vote to sell the County Home if all excuses were taken away.
"The people in this county want to know where each and every one of us stand on this issue," he said. "If a buyer is here that you think is wonderful, if you have a contract in front of you that you think is wonderful, you've had plenty of time to read it and understand it, no changes need to be made and the proper lawyers have drafted this legal document and you can't find any excuse whatsoever not to vote on it, will you vote to sell or won't you?"
After some additional discussion, the committee once again voted 3-2 in favor of the resolution, with Hoyer and James voting against it.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (185 votes).
In short: My 2nd 10k here, thought it was brilliant and will probably be backIn full: I remain impressed by the timing system, far better than a lot.The weather wasn't great but due to the location is was far from being a problem.ExcellentDate of review: March 4, 2011
In short: Pre-race organization quite poor.In full: On the day, the organization was good. The race briefing was exceptionally clear, however, there seem to have been big omissions pre-race. 1: The race was not licensed with UK Athletics so UK Athletics/power of 10/runbritain do not recognize it. 2: I know many runners were disapointed that the promised medals didn't materialize. 3: The organizers can't even decide what the race is called, sometimes, Chilly 10k other times Polar 10k and other varaiations.Much of the race technology was very good, with real time results, lap splits, individual printouts.In general, a good event but which could easily have been so much better.Date of review: March 2, 2011
In short: Well organised event, definite PB potentialDate of review: February 27, 2011
In short: PB potentialIn full: Not the most picturesque course, but I didn't expect it to be. It was great fun running on a race course, achieved a pb - it was flat and fast. Quite challenging as you can see right round the course!My only gripe was - where were the medals? Date of review: February 27, 2011
In short: I was told not to go too quick on the first lap and did I listen...no!In full: It certainly lived up to it's name but it was great fun, my first race of the season and got a better time than I expected. I'll be back for the rest of the races this year.Date of review: February 27, 2011
In short: My first race ever and I loved itDate of review: February 27, 2011
In short: A well organised 10k...with sweets at the end! Shame about the wind and rain!In full: A great race...shame about the weather, which I'll obviously blame for my time:)Everything was very well organised. The pack was easy to collect, only a small wait for the toilet and a flat 10k. The wind did hit us as we went around the course...but it could have been worse...the hail could have hit too!In ref to the medal situation as mentioned by the previous review...we were sent an email to say that the medals were to be sent by post because of a supplier cock up or something like that.Date of review: February 27, 2011
In short: What happened to the medals?In full: Well organised and good venue. My only small grumble is I thought we were suppose to get a medal when we finished.Date of review: February 27, 2011

I think Marcus Bachmann brought this on himself. If you call average American citizens, who's sexual orientation is their business, "barbarians", those words will come back to bite you in the butt!
H/t: Kato
Huffington Post
A group of gay rights activists targeted a Minnesota clinic owned by Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann and her husband Marcus in a prank involving glitter on Thursday.
The situation that unfolded at Bachmann & Associates Inc. comes in the wake of reports on controversial therapy methods allegedly practiced at the center. The Nation recently reported that the clinic offers reparative therapy, which the publication explains treats being gay as a curable disorder.
Earlier this month, when a reporter for Iowa-based station WQAD asked Bachmann to weigh in on such practices and whether they are used at the Minnesota clinic, the conservative congresswomandeclined to address the matter.
Here's an excerpt of a release issued by the activists involved in the prank at the clinic:
Today a horde of gay barbarians descended upon Michele and Marcus Bachmann's "pray away the gay" clinic and demanded that Marcus come out and discipline them for their "deviant" behavior.
Marcus Bachmann, who conducts "reparative therapy" at the clinic intended to convert homosexuals, has said that gays are "barbarians who need to be disciplined." The horde requested to speak directly with Bachmann and experience some "discipline" for themselves.
When Marcus was no where to be found, the barbarians glittered the empty waiting room and reception area while chanting, "You can't pray away the gay — baby, I was born this way!"
The action was organized by the same young man who threw glitter on Newt Gingrich, starting a national trend in political protest of anti-LGBT sentiments from political candidates and campaigns."Michele and Marcus Bachmann think gay people are barbarians?" asked LGBT activist Nick Espinosa. "I think its clear to everyone who the real barbarians are, based on the Bachmanns' archaic views on LGBT equality."
Espinosa, who the Associated Press notes has also used the name Robert Erickson, posted videoof the incident online. In May, he pulled a similar stunt on GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista in Minneapolis.

Expand Medicare to everyone
To the editor:
Instead of cuts, we should expand Medicare to everyone in the United States. To fully understand the suffering of middle and low income families in need of healthcare, the one man play called "Mercy Killing" by Michael Milligan should be viewed by anyone who questions how important this is.
We need to insure that our people can lead healthy lives. Is that too much to ask?

Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryAbout the Author: Bonnie Gutman serves as Cultural Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv.
Secretary Clinton just met with women from an exciting Israeli NGO founded by women to help women from all sectors of society in their economic and social integration into the Israeli mainstream. The group, Svivat Tomechet, which translates into "Supportive Community," has assisted more than 1,600 women from a cross section of Israeli society with entrepreneurship and business-related programs since it was established in 2003. Two of the women who met the Secretary – one born in Russia, one emigrated from Ethiopia – had completed courses at Svivat Tomechet and now run profitable businesses.
I was asked to moderate the session for the Secretary with this collection of remarkable women. What a thrill! To welcome the Secretary into the room, introduce her to the women, and facilitate a half-hour discussion to brief her on various aspects of women's empowerment in Israel, including her special interest – microfinance – was a career highlight. The Secretary was engaged and engaging as she asked and interacted with each of her guests, mentioning each participant by name. I was torn between focusing on her uplifting words of support for this group and others like it, and composing my next thought as moderator.
Backed by our Embassy's experienced Public Affairs team – Ellen, Will, Matty, David, Ziv, Stewart, Andy – as well as the Secretary's Washington-based Public Affairs team, the event demonstrated the impact of public diplomacy programs.
The session was particularly relevant for me, as I had owned and run a small public relations company before joining the Foreign Service. In this session, I was back with dynamic women of business, hearing the Secretary relate their aspirations and achievements to the work I now do in Embassy Tel Aviv. Full circle in a day. Pretty cool, huh?
Susan in Rhode Island writes:
I am so proud to have Hillary Clinton as our Secretary of State. Keeping women's issues front and center is good for the world.
Jennifer in West Virginia writes:
That is cool, Bonnie! I remember that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was keenly interested in micro-loans for women when she was first lady. In fact, didn't she give the keynote address at the first-ever Microcredit Summit in 1997?
Can you share what you told her about the role of microfinance as a method to empower women in Israel? Who provides the financing? What sorts of businesses and projects have grown from these micro-credit programs? How can others get involved -- perhaps those who might like to contribute to a microfinance project?
Thank you for your post! It's fascinating to hear about diplomacy from a different point of view -- not just from the media.
Best wishes.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Lucky you, Bonnie! Hillary is awesome, isn't she?
I love to hear stories like yours about her meeting people outside officialdom. How well-received she is! Thanks for posting this story and for being her moderator at this event. I envy you that half hour, but I'm happy you had this chance and shared it with all of us.
Terry in Connecticut writes:
As a man i respect Secretary Hillary Clinton support for women's rights and issues around the world. Thanks for posting.
Tommye Jean in Texas writes:
I love when Madame Secretary visits with real people in the countries that she visits. She is personalizing our country and the countries she visits. Such a difference!
I know she is doing an outstanding job, opening doors and dialogue. I envy and appreciate your career in Foreign Service.
Wendy in California writes:
Dear Ms. Gutman,
Very cool indeed.
Just out of curiosity where in physical fact is the translator in such an event? I see the headphones.
I think these "public diplomacy" programs are the absolute hub of the dynamic to change America's image and fact in the world.
These women sure sound like Margaret Mead's "Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. It's the only thing that ever has."
Thank you, Sec State Hillary, & all the State Team for your unflagging commitment to a more luminous EarthVuravuraJeegoo.
Ed J. writes:
Thank you to Secretary Clinton for all her hard work. It is appreciated. And thank you to the State Department for the great job increasing their online tools and options. Most of all, thank you to Ms. Gutman for blogging about the above.
DipNote Blogger Bonnie Gutman in Israel writes:
@ Ed J. -- Thank you -- it was my pleasure -- and my very first blog!
@ Wendy in California -- Yes, we do have a translator. In this case, she was sitting in another room, watching us by closed circuit tv. The technology was amazing, but the skills of the translators who translate instantaneously is phenomenal. Thank you for writing!
@ Tommye Jean in Texas -- the Foreign Service is a wonderful career! And it is open to everyone. Check out www.careers.state. gov for more info.
@ Terry in Connecticut -- thank you for your thoughts, and support.
@ Rosemary in Virginia -- thank you! Maybe we'll meet again in cyberspace.
@ Jennifer in West Virginia -- Secretary Clinton did address the 1997 Microcredit Summit Campaign in Washington, DC. Hageet Rubinstein who answered the questions on microfinance responded in English. You can find the transcript at http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2009a/03/119974.htm. Thank you for your thoughtful questions.
@ Susan in Rhode Island -- I agree whole heartedly.

Stock Futures Dip After Huge Japan Rally
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were slipping Wednesday on the heels of a strong rally in Japan as the the prospect of looser monetary policy there has failed to carried over into investor confidence in the United States.
The gap up Wednesday on the Nikkei came a day after Bank of Japan Gov. Masaaki Shirakawa told reporters in Tokyo that he would step down on March 19, likely paving the way for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to implement a greater quantitative easing policy he has pushed for in recent months.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were off 29 points, or 0.21%, at 13,881. Futures for the S&P 500 were falling 4 points, or 0.28%, to 1502. Nasdaq futures were shedding 12 points, or 0.42% with a fair value of 2738.
"Japan has been hot on the hopes of more quantitative easing and, again, today it's one of the biggest days of the year," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist with Schaeffer's Investment Research. "Clearly people continue to buy the yen; the yen continues to drop massively, and that's creating a pretty good bid for the Nikkei and for their stocks."
Asian markets surged on Wednesday as the rally in Japan encouraged momentum in most of the major markets there. Japan's Nikkei average rose 3.8% overnight to close at 11464. Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.47% to 23,257.
The FTSE 100 was losing 0.02% on Wednesday, despite earlier gains, as the residue from Japan's spike wore off. The DAX in Germany was sinking 1.41% after manufacturing orders there printed a little lighter than expected.
Manufacturing orders for Germany in December rose 0.8% against a 1.8% drop in November, but failed to beat economists' expectations of about 1%.
There is little major economic data expected to be released in the U.S. on Wednesday, except for crude inventories at 10:30 a.m. EST.
Gold futures for April delivery were ticking higher by $4.70 to $1,678.20 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while futures for March crude oil contracts were lower by $1.44 cents to $95.20 a barrel.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was adding 8/32, diluting the yield to 1.976%. The dollar was up 0.33%, according to the U.S. dollar index.
In corporate news, Walt Disney (DIS) announced fiscal first-quarter profit dipped slightly but beat expectations. The company earned 77 cents a share on revenue of $11.3 billion. Shares were rising 2.4% in premarket trading.
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is expected to pay some 400 million pounds ($627 million) for a role it played in the LIBOR global interest-rate rigging scandal, Reuters reported, citing sources familiar with the situation. Shares gained 2.5% on Tuesday.
Time Warner (TWX) reported adjusted fourth-quarter earnings of $1.17 a share on revenue of $8.16 billion. Analysts expected the company that owns CNN and HBO to post fourth-quarter earnings of $1.10 a share on revenue of $8.25 billion. Shares were rising 3.1% in premarket trading.

The Zapruder Camera
On November 22, 1963, the day of President John F. Kennedy's visit to Dallas, Abraham Zapruder initially left his camera at home. But his secretary convinced him to return home for this 8mm Bell and Howell Zoomatic movie camera to record the Presidential visit. Around noon, Zapruder left his office with the camera and went to nearby Dealey Plaza. At 12:30 P.M., he filmed the Kennedy motorcade just before, during, and immediately after the shooting. The 26 seconds of footage shot on this camera constitute the only complete film record of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Social Housing
Oral Question Period
2:55 p.m.
Alfonso Gagliano Minister of Public Works and Government Services
Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada continues to invest close to $2 billion a year in social housing.
For example, through mortgage insurance, we help build 475,000 units every year. We also invested $300 million in RRAP, which is specifically designed to help rehabilitate housing units, so as to allow the poor to have a roof over their heads.
Moreover, since we took office, we have built 13,000 affordable housing units under the public and private sector partnership program.
Child Poverty
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, we are now just two days away from the 10th anniversary of the unanimous resolution of the House of Commons to eliminate child poverty and still we have heard no answers from the government, not even today.
Canadians are very, very concerned about this issue. I would like to ask the Minister of Finance what he intends to do now, not what has happened in the past, to face up to the horrible reality that as a result of his financial policies child poverty has increased by 50%. What does he intend to do to correct the situation and to deal with child poverty in this country?
Child Poverty
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Jane Stewart Minister of Human Resources Development
Mr. Speaker, all I can do is implore the hon. member to read and reread the Speech from the Throne in which we set out very clearly a plan of action in support of Canadian children.
There will be issues that come from the tax system. We will be doubling parental benefits. We will work with the provinces to build a platform of income and service supports for children in low income families. We will be looking at our laws, as I said earlier, to make sure that children's issues come first in cases of separation and divorce.
Finally, as an employer, I say again that the federal government will be looking at its workplaces and will make sure that families are respected and reflected in our workplaces here.
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Peter MacKay Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough, NS
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the solicitor general, who has constantly reminded the House that his department has an arm's length relationship with the RCMP.
Can he advise us why a recent phone inquiry from my office to the RCMP communications branch was responded to by his political office staff?
Oral Question Period
3 p.m.
Lawrence MacAulay Solicitor General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, if my hon. colleague wanted an answer he could have informed me of the situation before question period.
Presence In Gallery
Oral Question Period
November 22nd, 1999 / 3 p.m.
The Speaker
I draw the attention of hon. members to the presence in the gallery of His Excellency Edip Safder Gaydali, Minister of State of the Republic of Turkey Responsible for the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority.

Government Response To Petitions
Routine Proceedings
3 p.m.
Scarborough—Rouge River
Derek Lee Parliamentary Secretary to Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to four petitions.
International Boundary Waters Treaty Act
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Winnipeg South Centre
Lloyd Axworthy Minister of Foreign Affairs
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-15, an act to amend the International Boundary Waters Treaty Act.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Access To Information Act
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Roy H. Bailey Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-329, an act to amend the Access to Information Act.
Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to have my colleague from Yorkton—Melville second this bill.
The bill proposes to amend the Access to Information Act. Basically it would make the books and all the procedures and operations of the Canadian Wheat Board available to people who want to process the information two years after the crop year ends.
People from across western Canada have been crying for this for years.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Myron Thompson Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today. The first is from the area of Strathmore, Alberta. The petitioners call upon the government to do something about the Young Offenders Act. There is a list of things which they are asking the government to do. They feel that the government has failed to do anything in the last six years and they want a response.
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Myron Thompson Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, I also have a petition containing several hundred names of people from throughout my riding which can be added to the hundreds of thousands of names we already have calling upon this parliament to do something about the decision made in British Columbia regarding child pornography. The petitioners request that the government invoke the notwithstanding clause of the charter of rights and freedoms to put an end to this silliness.
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
John McKay Scarborough East, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have a 36 page petition which calls the attention of the House to the following: that one in every five children lives in poverty; that on November 24, 1989 the House of Commons passed a resolution on this issue; that since 1989 the number of poor children has increased by 60%; and that the year 2000 budget be used to introduce a multi-year plan to improve the well-being of children.
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Gary Lunn Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to table today from the people I represent in Saanich—Gulf Islands and, more importantly, from throughout British Columbia. This petition adds to the 10,000 signatures that have already been tabled on this subject. I also note that in an Angus Reid poll 60% of Canadians called on the government to change our Immigration Act so as to allow refugees who are not genuine to be sent home immediately, without delay.
The petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to change the immigration laws so that people who are obvious abusers of the system can be sent home without delay.
We have about 11,000 signatures on this subject and I would ask the government to take note of these people, along with all of the other people of Canada who are calling for this change.
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Gary Lunn Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, the second petition I am honoured to present on behalf of the constituents of Saanich—Gulf Islands concerns an issue that arose last spring.
The petitioners request that parliament refrain from enacting legislation which would remove references to God or to the supremacy of God from the Canadian constitution or the charter of rights.

Kickballs for Kids
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
James Bezan Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, Chris Thompson of Stonewall, Manitoba is an example of what young Canadians can do to improve the lives of others.
After a 14-year career with his local soccer team, Stonewall United, Chris decided to bring the joy of playing soccer to children in the poorest regions of Africa. Last year he started his own charity called Kickballs for Kids, which donates soccer balls to kids in African countries who cannot afford them. He is completing a tour of several African nations where he has distributed the soccer balls paid for from funds he has raised.
While a $10 soccer ball might not seem like a big investment for the average Canadian, it is a luxury for many in the developing world. Chris has sent home countless stories of the joy experienced by children and their communities started by a game of soccer made possible with one of his soccer balls.
Chris Thompson has demonstrated what a young Canadian can do to help those in need. More importantly, he has shown that the joy of sport can bring a community together, whether one lives on the Manitoba prairie or on the African savannah.
I encourage all Canadians to help Chris in this endeavour. They can find out more by visiting Kickballs for Kids on Facebook. I congratulate Chris.
Administrative Professionals
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Alexandra Mendes Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, it would be inappropriate if not outright dishonest if this House did not underline the fact that today is international Administrative Professionals Day.
Too often, secretaries and administrative assistants are overlooked and their important work taken for granted. As I am sure all my colleagues know, administrative professionals often form the backbone of an office, literally holding it together. Without them, most organizations would simply not function.
Administrative Professionals Day provides the House of Commons with the opportunity to acknowledge the vital support provided by these employees to MPs and also to society in general.
In the contemporary economy, where services are omnipresent and information evolves rapidly, administrative professionals are vital to the proper functioning of society.
It is therefore appropriate to acknowledge their work, which all too often is still taken for granted. A very big thank you to the administrative professionals of Canada.
Victims of Crime
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
France Bonsant Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, to no one's surprise, the Conservative government has announced that it will vote against Bill C-343, which provides real, tangible financial assistance to the families of victims of crime.
The government, which loudly proclaims that it defends victims and their families, is instead creating a diversion by holding Victims of Crime Awareness Week. We cannot oppose virtue. However, this gesture is simply a smokescreen for the Conservatives' inaction and indifference towards the financial needs of victims' families. The truth is that it is the awareness of this government's members that needs to be raised.
If the Conservatives truly were concerned by the fate of victims and their families, they would vote for Bill C-343on April 28.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Don Davies Vancouver Kingsway, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to two outstanding women who have contributed immensely to British Columbia and Canada.
Madeleine Dion Stout has been a towering presence in the area of health care for decades. She has served as president of the Aboriginal Nurses Association of Canada and is an inaugural board member of the Mental Health Commission of Canada. She helped build the PHSA indigenous cultural competency program and the B.C. Women's Hospital's aboriginal health program. She is a director of the Women's Health Research Institute and just joined the First Nations Health Society as a board member.
Ms. Stout has just won a 2010 National Aboriginal Achievement Award for her outstanding contributions to aboriginal health and a strong public health system, an award she justly deserves.
Gladys Radek is a woman who is a passionate and tenacious voice for the missing and murdered women of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and across British Colombia. She has organized marches, raised funds and is a powerful advocate for the need to remember these women and obtain justice for each and every one of them. Her work has been so effective that this government recognized the group, Sisters in Spirit, in its throne speech.
I ask all members to join me in honouring these incredible women.
MS Walk
Statements By Members
April 21st, 2010 / 2:05 p.m.
Steven Blaney Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, on April 25, the 5th annual MS Walk in Chaudière—Appalaches will be held in Lévis. The purpose of this walk is to raise money for research to find a cure for multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis is the most predominant neurological disease in young adults in our country and it has an impact on families, friends and the community. It is unpredictable and affects vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Its physical, emotional and financial effects last a lifetime.
Every day, three new cases are diagnosed in Canada and women are three times more likely than men to develop this insidious disease in the prime of their lives.
I encourage each and every one of us to take part in one of the 160 walks being held across the country and I invite everyone here to join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. at the congress centre in Lévis.
Together we can beat multiple sclerosis.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, let us consider accountability on the Afghan detainee issue.
When allegations were made, the government attacked those who gave evidence. Is that the reaction we would expect from someone who has nothing to hide?
When parliamentarians raised concerns, they were accused of being unpatriotic. Does that mean we must ignore our international obligations in order to be patriotic?
When documents were requested by Parliament, the government hired a former judge to do a study instead of finding a solution compatible with the powers of Parliament.
Delay, denial and deception are incompatible with accountability. It is time for the government to be accountable by agreeing to a resolution which ensures both compliance with international law and full protection of our military. Now, that is patriotic.
The Economy

Gerald Keddy South Shore—St. Margaret's, NS
Mr. Speaker, today the IMF forecasted that Canada will lead the G7 in growth this year and next. This follows an OECD report which also said that Canada will lead the G7 in growth. What is more, since July 2009 Canada has created almost 180,000 new jobs. All of this is proof that Canada's economic action plan is working.
However, the global economic recovery remains fragile and our top priority must be to stay the course.
What is the Liberals' top priority? It is to kill jobs with a GST hike, a new carbon tax and increase business taxes. In case the Liberals' agenda was unclear, the Liberal finance critic cleared up any confusion when he said, "The era of tax cuts is over".
While the Liberals plot new tax hikes, our Conservative government will continue to lower taxes and create jobs.
Use of Wood in Federal Buildings

Gérard Asselin Manicouagan, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, members of the House of Commons will be voting on Bill C-429 on the use of wood in the construction and renovation of federal buildings.
A number of countries such as France, Norway and Sweden have implemented similar measures to promote the use of wood in public buildings. Quebec and British Columbia also have policies to that effect. Yesterday, the National Assembly unanimously adopted a motion in support of Bill C-429.
A number of Quebec and Canadian associations representing thousands of groups have also expressed their support for the bill, including the Forest Products Association of Canada, the Quebec Wood Export Bureau and the Québec Forest Industry Council.
We have the means to move forward with this type of measure. That is why I hope we can count on the support of all hon. members in this House.
National Volunteer Week

Bernard Généreux Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in celebration of National Volunteer Week. I would particularly like to highlight the invaluable contribution of young volunteers in Quebec and across Canada.
Every year, more than 12 million Canadians collectively volunteer more than 2 billion hours to make their communities and our country a better place to live.
What is remarkable is that young people, aged 15 to 24, have the highest rate of volunteerism. The Conservative government is very appreciative of the contribution of young volunteers. That is why Canada's economic action plan includes grants for the YMCA and other organizations, to place youth in internships with not-for-profit organizations. We also decided to create the Prime Minister's award for volunteerism.
Whether these young people are teaching computer basics to seniors, coaching kids' sports or planting trees in our communities, Canadians and Quebeckers appreciate their contribution.
We thank everyone who volunteers their time.
Aboriginal Affairs
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Marcel Proulx Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, today a group of representatives from the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation have come to the Hill in the hope of meeting with the Prime Minister or the Minister of Indian Affairs , who have refused to meet with them in the past.
The Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation is located principally in western Quebec and eastern Ontario. Members of that nation were the first inhabitants of the land on which we built our national Parliament, the very land on which we stand today.
Over the years, we have learned to live together on this earth, and it is simply unacceptable that the government is refusing to even listen to what these aboriginal representatives have to say. It will therefore be up to parliamentarians to meet with them and give them the opportunity to be heard that they are entitled to expect.
These people legitimately represent our constituents, and the Conservatives' behaviour is quite simply disrespectful.
Liberal Party of Canada

2:10 p.m.
Ed Fast Abbotsford, BC
Mr. Speaker, guess who is at it again, calling for higher taxes? That is right, it is the Liberal leader and his right-hand man, the member for Markham—Unionville. Yesterday he told the media he wanted to end tax cuts. Translation: If people and their families want less money in their pockets and want to pay higher and higher taxes, the Liberal leader is their man.
Whether it is touting a carbon tax, GST hikes or job-killing business taxes, the Liberal leader and his party have never met a tax they did not like. He even wants to tax iPods.
While Conservatives work to deliver lower taxes for Canadians, the Liberal leader continues to find new ways to increase taxes.
Canadians know that higher taxes kill jobs. Once again, the Liberal leader is not in it for Canadians. He is just in it for himself.
Earthquake in China

Alice Wong Richmond, BC
Mr. Speaker, on April 14, an earthquake of 7.1 magnitude struck Yushu, a town in the Qinghai province of China. As of today, the death toll has climbed to 2,183 and 84 people are still missing. A week after the devastating quake, the Chinese government has designated today a national day of mourning for earthquake victims.
On behalf of Richmond, I express my deepest condolences to the victims and their families during this difficult time. China is a strong nation and has responded to this disaster quickly and effectively. The country's relief efforts have demonstrated its fine tradition of offering help to those in need.
We sincerely hope that those affected by the earthquake can overcome the tragedy quickly and rebuild their hometowns. Our officials in Beijing continue to contact appropriate Chinese authorities to assess the assistance that is required.

Mr. Speaker, 95 years ago, the world remained silent as over 1.5 million Armenian men, women and children were murdered. Just a few years ago, the House passed a motion clearly stating the truth and condemning this act as a crime against humanity.
The New Democrats stand in solidarity with the Armenian community in its desire to acknowledge and commemorate one of the most terrible chapters in world history. Hitler's infamous words, "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" remind us of our duty to remember and to insist that these historic realities be recognized for what they were; otherwise, these horrors could be repeated elsewhere.
We also acknowledge the relentless courage of the Armenian people which, generations later, finally led to the creation of a free and democratic country. This country works with its neighbours to create a future of peace and reconciliation.

Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, 95 years ago the Armenian people were victims of the first genocide of the 20th century. More than a million people were murdered.
Even though many countries have recognized the facts, the descendants of victims of this tragic event are still waiting for all nations to acknowledge this act of evil.
As we have seen numerous times over the years, Armenians must continue to fight and defend themselves against false accusations which are perpetuated in order to avoid accepting the truth about this genocide.
That is why we, the Bloc Québécois, continue to stand by them in their quest for justice.

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
Drilled shafts are an alternate type of deep foundation that may be more cost effective and perform better than other types of deep foundations in bridge piers at river crossings and in retrofit operations, high-mast lighting, earth retaining structures, single-column piers, and similar applications. This course provides participants with specific technical guidance on all aspects of designing, installing, and monitoring the construction of drilled shafts. The lessons address the following topics: applications, advantages, and disadvantages of drilled shafts for transportation structure foundations; general requirements for subsurface investigations; construction methods; construction case histories; construction specifications; principles of designing drilled shafts for axial and lateral loading; expansive soils, downdrag, and similar effects; load testing; inspection; integrity testing; repair and retrofit of defective shafts; and cost estimation. The participants will receive a comprehensive reference manual on drilled shaft construction and design used by engineers who perform detailed designs of drilled shafts, write construction specifications, and evaluate the performance of contractors through a comprehensive inspection program.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
The target audience for this course includes geotechnical engineers, bridge designers, and resident engineers. The course embraces both construction and design, and it is important that all participants attend all lessons, not just those in their immediate areas of interest. A key issue is how the details of construction affect the way in which a drilled shaft should be designed and how the intent of the design affects inspection. Participants are expected to have a degree in engineering for which they have passed an undergraduate course in soil mechanics and/or have successfully completed NHI course FHWA-NHI-132012 Soils and Foundations Workshop.

Very good album, suffers from not having edited out 2-3 tunes. A great album flows from track to track, creating a mood that does not veer off track, or disappoint.
Back to form in many cases, but not all.
Three and a half to four stars (not sure) listened recently though and enjoyed a lot of it...ran out of emotional steam though. "Really Love You" is an ideal B side, but has no place on
this album, and I could say the same for perhaps 1-2 other tracks.
One of my beefs with Paul is that he often includes 1-2 many tracks on an album, and the consequences are that the albums as a whole suffer. ( BTTE, London Town, Flaming Pie. Pipes of Peace)
I adore London Town ( bought it when I was 12, and a year and a half into THE FABS etc etc etc...) Love the production and precision and whimsy. Tight and "slick", and a pop gem is London Town.
( he could have made it better by losing Children Children ( not bad) and either Cuff Link or Girlfriend might have had to go if I were at the helm, although both have their own merits.
Just trim the fat Paul. He can be a little over ambitious on albums, no ???
Do we need to have " She's My Baby" on "Speed of Sound".....
I'd place NEW in the top 5. I think.

Relieved Chronic Fatigue
Posted by Reviewer1990022 on Apr 15, 2010
I have no idea how this product works and I love it. A medical intuitive proscribed this for me years ago. I was taking maybe 20-25 pellets three times a day along with their Biochemic Phosphates in similar quantities to help with depletion. I also started drinking a lot of spring water, as recommended. Very quickly, I felt the chronic fatigue symptoms were relieved. I still like to take it sometimes and always have some on hand. Kind of a magical product for me.
great product
Posted by Reviewer2761412 on Feb 02, 2011
I used to have tightness in my hand in the morning after I played tennis previous day. I started taking these after reading about general benefits of keeping all the salts in balance and this worked awesome. I do not have to shake my hand to get me going anymore and I only take once a day 4 tablets. I am 45 active guy so I will take these for ever as salt balance is very important plus always avoid table salt, use minerals or sea salt.
take this every day
Posted by Reviewer1582626 on Mar 05, 2009
sometimes this is the only thing that helps me feel better, successive doses work best, it's even helped me with digestive discomfort after eating.

Topic: Layout Problems.....
I have been going through the sample tutorial project called Library - where you create books and subjects and stuff, one thing i noitced was that, you can't start off without a database.
This is a small problem because ppl like me who just do front end design now have to go through the nuts and bolts of creating a db,tables,populating data, creating the controllers etc etc...there's so much of work in here. But rest assured, this is only a single time thingy, but since I am from the visual world I am unable to translate controllers/layouts/views into the design that I wanna develop.
How do you generate a 2 column layout ?...where the menu is on your left, and the resultant content is refreshed on the right.
I don't expect to be spoon fed with the actual code here, but a few pointers that would help me get started....

Intel Corp. reportedly plans to simplify the design of mainstream platforms for code-named Sandy Bridge central processing units (CPUs) in a bid to lower production costs and encourage enthusiasts to get higher-end Sandy Bridge E microprocessors. Apparently, the next-gen mainstream platform from Intel will have limited overclocking capabilities; on the other hand, enthusiast-oriented setups will continue to be overclocker-friendly.
In an attempt to simplify design of mainstream personal computers, Intel decided to integrate base clock-speed generator directly into the code-named Cougar Point core-logic, according to slides that resemble those from Intel's presentations published by HKEPC web-site. Unlike in case standalone base frequency generators for different busses in case of today's PCs, Intel's integrated generator will set one base clock-speed that will be automatically multiplied in accordance to standard settings of various busses, e.g., PCI Express, Direct Media Interface (DMI), Serial ATA, USB and so on. As a result, any altering of DMA bus frequency in case of Sandy Bridge processors will not only affect CPU clock-speed, but also all the other speeds, which should remain at stable frequencies all the time.
The good news is that with Sandy Bridge the chip giant plans "fully" and "partially" unlocked microprocessors. Fully unlocked chips will be overclockable by modifying multiplier; whereas partially unclockable microprocessors will allow manufacturer to choose maximum ratios above the so-called Turbo-speed and hence the CPUs will automatically change their clock-speeds thanks to Turbo Boost technology for their four cores as well as graphics engine. Overclocking of any kind - including memory speed boost - will only be possible on Intel 6-series P-family platforms, hence, neither of "unlocked" chips will be able to operate at frequencies beyond default on other types of platforms.
In case of the next-generation enthusiast platform that will be based on Sandy Bridge E chips with six cores and code-named Patsburg core-logic set there will be external base frequency generators used and clock-speeds of busses like SATA or USB locked. As a result, enthusiasts will be able to boost clock-speed of microprocessors using traditional methods by increasing DMI frequencies. Obviously, next-gen platform for enthusiasts will also include Extreme Edition microprocessors with unlocked multiplier.
By imposing restrictions on overclocking of Sandy Bridge/Cougar Pont platform Intel not only further encourages overclockers to use more expensive Sandy Bridge E/Patsburg platforms, but also ensures that there is no overclocking on non Intel 6-series P-family platforms physically available. On the one hand, this allows Intel and mainboard makers to charge more for P67 chipset since enthusiasts are likely to pay a premium for overclocking. On the other hand, it forces motherboard manufacturers (in order to differentiate themselves from competitors), to incorporate more features into their products powered by Q67, Q65, B65, H61 and other, thus, improving competitive positions of personal computers featuring the forthcoming chipsets.
Intel did not comment on the news-story.

Officials: Tax-free zones not enough to change economy
Gov. Andrew Cuomo may be making a big push to allow high-tech businesses from other states and abroad to relocate near colleges campuses in New York state, but state and local lawmakers are still calling for more.
According to the Associated Press, the proposal would waive all business and property taxes, as well as income taxes, for companies bringing in new business. The benefits would last five to 10 years, depending on the deals worked out with the companies, which would need to partner with a college. The companies would have to be working in an area compatible with the academics of the college.
Although they are pleased with the initiative, state Sen. Catharine Young, R-C-I-Olean, Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, R-C-I-Chautauqua County and Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards all agreed the tax cuts for new jobs are not enough for this area.
"I support every effort to reduce taxes on our residents and our businesses," said Goodell. "Right now, New York state is ranked 50th in the nation for having the highest taxes. Those high taxes cost New York state jobs. If we are serious about improving our economic climate in New York state and creating more jobs, we need to aggressively reduce taxes. So, I applaud the governor's efforts to create the tax-free zones, and I wish that the governor would do more to reduce taxes for everyone across New York state so we could truly revitalize this economy."
Young echoed Goodell, and emphasized that the state Senate has been working diligently to ease the tax burden during this year's budget process.
"While I am in support of any initiative that grows more private sector jobs and our economy, I believe that we also need broad-based tax relief and regulatory reform to make our state more competitive," she said. "Changing the overall business climate will help us keep our existing small businesses and manufacturers, and attract new ones."
The impact the governor's proposal would have on Chautauqua County is yet to be seen, according to Edwards. Although he has not yet had a chance to thoroughly review the proposal, Edwards said he does not foresee a substantial change.
"I think the solution to New York's problems about not having the jobs it needs is not to give this sort of dramatic special break to very few companies, but to reduce the tax burden on businesses throughout the state," Edwards said. "Any and all help that can be directed toward upstate is welcomed, but, from my first review of this proposal, I don't see it as being something that is going to have this sort of dramatic impact that merely lowering taxes overall would."
If a business is paying no tax, Edwards said there is someone else down the line who would have to pay more taxes if the system is not modified.
"So, my fear is that this will be beneficial to a very small number of people in the jobs being created, but the rest of the tax-paying entities and people would have to pay more to make up for the difference," he said.
However, Cuomo claims there would be no revenue lost by issuing tax breaks. During a conference call Thursday, he pointed out the jobs would not be there in the first place, if not created by this initiative. As for cutting other taxes, Cuomo said it would be too expensive.
"We're trying to cut taxes, and we have cut taxes, and I will cut taxes more, because I believe it works," Cuomo said. "But, cutting taxes is very expensive. We don't have the revenues to cut taxes. This program is for new jobs. New jobs, meaning start-ups on the campus, business from out-of-state, or bonafide new company jobs. Not job transfers. This is new jobs."
