Cuomo’s Tax Foundation consult

Jimmy Vielkind

ALBANY—A top aide to Governor Andrew Cuomo has been consulting with the Tax Foundation—a Washington-based organization the administration once denounced as a “right-wing think tank”—as lawmakers consider a number of tax cuts in the state budget.

Cuomo's secretary, Larry Schwartz, called Joe Henchman, the Tax Foundation's vice president for state projects, within the last week.

Henchman confirmed he spoke with Schwartz but did not reveal details of their conversation. The Tax Foundation provides rankings on a state's business climate, where in 2013 New York finished last.
