How To Avoid Looking Silly When Writing A Letter To The NYS-OPRHP

To milk the golden cow of taxpayer money as much as they could.

Here is the link to the article on Syracuse.com  - It is a great article and I recommend that you read it.

Inside planning Destiny USA: It was all about the "golden cow" of tax breaks.

Here are some snippets from the article:
