Bill Gives Building Owners Tax Breaks for Security Guards
Governor Pataki is expected to act soon on a bill that quietly passed both houses of the Legislature in the final hours of the session, authorizing tax breaks for New York City building owners who increase wages for unionized security guards they employ.
Governor Pataki is expected to act soon on a bill that quietly passed both houses of the Legislature in the final hours of the session, authorizing tax breaks for New York City building owners who increase wages for unionized security guards they employ.
Opponents of the little-known bill called it a straight political barter that puts security standards — and the tax code — at the service of political support from union members. Supporters said it will ultimately lead to increased wages for all guards. Pataki has 10 days to act on the measure once it reaches his desk, which is likely to happen within days.
