buy marlboro
ALBANY Ч Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer is backing away from a promised effort to collect taxes on the sale of buy marlboro and gasoline by Indian retailers, even while the stateТs budget deficit continues to rise, officials acknowledged Tuesday. It will be next spring, at the earliest, before the state tries to bring in those tax revenues. Word of the retreat came as the stateТs budget office Tuesday released a gloomy picture of the governmentТs finances: The budget deficit is expected to be $4.3 billion next year, nearly $700 million more than forecast just three months ago. SpitzerТs own Budget Division said the failure by the state to collect an anticipated $200 million in Indian taxes is among the factors contributing to the Уsignificant risksФ to New YorkТs revenue forecasts. But the limping housing market and declining revenues from Wall Street activities, and the resulting lower bonuses, are mostly to blame for the worsening fiscal scene.
