Justification New Yorkers work hard for their money. A state employed worker makes around $33,000 a year. If someone pays cash on Port authority tolls, they are paying roughly $3,120 a year. This is because there are, on average, 260 working days in a year, and the cash tolls is $12.00. If you use an EZ-Pass, you will pay $2,470 a year. To get more money, the avaricious Port Authority is trying to raise fares 4% of the next 4 years. New Yorkers can't afford to pay these prices. 10% of an average state employed worker's annual pay goes just to the Port Authority. In the past, people have not stood idly by while they had to pay large sums of money. Also, the unemployment rate in New York State was, according to good reports, 7.9% in October 2011. This bill would allow the unemployed save money. The fares hinder the unemployed from searching for jobs because they don’t have the money to pay the tolls. Also, the money they use on tolls could go towards basic living necessities such as, food, car payments, or their mortgage. A private audit will ensure that the income of the Port Authority is put to good and legal uses. Summary of Provisions Section 1 Fare- the price of conveyance or passage in a bus, train, airplane, or other vehicle Cap- to put a maximum limit on Section 2 Our bill will cap Port Authority fares on bridges and tunnels. It will limit the Port Authority to raising fares only 50 cents every four years. This bill would impose a yearly private audit of Port Authority expenses and income. Section 3 The purpose of this bill is to limit the extent of Port Authority fare increases, and ultimately to save New Yorkers money. Fiscal Implications This bill will have a positive impact on New York residents. It will save them thousands of dollars in money that they would have to pay in tolls. The state would be gaining money too. This bill does allow for tolls to increase, just not too much. Effective Date -This bill will go into effect immediately upon its passage.

The People of the State of New York, represented in the Senate and Assembly do enact as follows: Purpose The purpose of this bill is to increase and cap the amount of money given to New York State education out of the New York State lottery funds. The lottery originally started out as taxes going towards community construction and aid. It was made governmental by New York State so the majority of lottery funding could go into education.

One percent of the total wagered after payout of prizes for the first year of operation of video lottery gaming at Aqueduct racetrack, one and one-quarter percent of the total wagered after payout of prizes for the second year of operation, and one and one-half percent of the total wagered after payout of prizes for the third year of operation and thereafter, for an appropriate breeding fund for the manner of racing conducted at Aqueduct racetrack, Belmont Park racetrack and Saratoga race course. 3. Four percent of the total revenue wagered after payout of prizes to be deposited into an account of the franchised corporation established pursuant to section two hundred six of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to be used for capital expenditures in maintaining and upgrading Aqueduct racetrack, Belmont Park racetrack and Saratoga race course. 4. Three percent of the total revenue wagered after payout for prizes to be deposited into an account of the franchised corporation established pursuant to section two hundred six of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to be used for general thoroughbred racing operations at Aqueduct racetrack, Belmont Park racetrack and Saratoga race course 5. Paragraphs one, two, three and four of this subdivision shall be known collectively as the "racing support payments". g. In the event the state elects to construct a video lottery terminal facility at the Aqueduct racetrack, all video lottery terminal revenues payable to the video lottery gaming operator at the Aqueduct racetrack remaining after payment of the racing support payments shall first be used to repay the state's advances for (i) confirmation of the chapter eleven plan of reorganization and cash advances for the franchised corporation's operations following confirmation of the chapter eleven plan of reorganization and (ii) the amount expended by the state to construct such video lottery 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 terminal facility at Aqueduct racetrack pursuant to an agreement with the state. Subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of this paragraph shall be defined as the state advance amount and the amounts payable to the division of the lottery. 6. The prize money for all lottery drawings shall be reduced from 51% to 40%, and Administrative costs are to be reduced from 3% to 2%. Education aid will be increased from 38% to 50% from all drawings. This will capped and mandated. Justification The lottery proceedings go by prize money (51%), aid to education (38%), retailer commissions (6%), contractor fees (2%) and administrative costs (3%). Today, more money is going to the government out of lottery than promised to go into education and the percentage of the money that was to go to education has decreased over time. As originally promised when the lottery was made governmental, the education percentage will be the highest coming out of lottery fund drawings and this bill will put into effect the original intentional and ensure that it remains that way. Fiscal Implications All funding comes directly out of the New York State lottery. Effective Date This bill will go into effect one year upon its passage.
