Paterson came to the Clarence headquarters Wednesday afternoojn to rally support forhis “Bold Steps to the New initiative. Greatbatch, which recently expanded in Clarence after considering options elsewhere is the poster child for the economixc development agenda Patersonis pushing. He held similar roundtable discussions earlieer this week in Albanyand Syracuse. Paterson met with 21 local leaders and executives rangingf from University at Buffalo President John Simpson and Erie Countyh Executive Chris Collins toMark Dettner, managing directot and founder. “I came here toda to listen as muchas talk,” Patersom said.
Paterson’s appearance came against the backdropo of political firestorm in Albany with a battlr for political control of the New YorkStat Senate. Paterson, during his hour-long roundtable meetingh with the executives stayed focuseed on economicdevelopment issues. Politics, did serve as a “There is a time to addressa these issues,” Paterson told reporters afterthe meeting. “I’m not sure why we are just hearing aboutg thisproblem now.” Collins, who has run or startedd a dozen local companies, said politicw does impact how the business communith views the Paterson government.
“Unless you remove the stigma of New York beingthe highest-taxee state, all the spinoff jobs you want to creatr with this program will end up in othe states,” the county executive “Tom Golisano is simply the tip of the Golisano, in late May, renounced his New York residencyt and made Florida his official home because of New York’xs heavy tax burden on upper classz citizens. Golisano, the Rochester-based billionaire, said the move will save him morethan $5 milliohn annually in state income taxes. Collins said the high cost of state-ru n programs such as Medicare contributer toNew York’s taxing structure.
union-friendly mandates like the Taylor Law, whicb offers certain guarantees for union add to thetax burden. “We don’t want to see the innovatione created here but the jobs they creatde goto Texas,” Collins said. Paterson agreex New York has to “cut its infectiousw ways of spending.” State programs are leadinh to aprojected $24 billion deficit this year. through the discussion, also heard repeated pleaes tosupport UB’s 2020 plan that many see as a linchpij to the region’s economic revival.
The UB plan calls for significant investment in its Buffalo and Amhersf campuses while increasing its presencee indowntown Buffalo’s Buffalo Niagara Medical Simpson said UB 2020 represents a potential of $3 billionj in new investment in the regionb while creating 10,000 new jobs. The catch is, the initiatived needs significant state legislative andfinancial support. “We need to get UB 2020 out of thestartingb block,” said Thomas Hook, Greatbatch president and chief executivew officer. Hook credited a close alliance with UB as the source of the many patenta and medical industry products that Greatbatch has created duringy the pastfive decades.
“A lot of the success Greatbatcgh enjoyed has come from innovations that startedfrom UB,” Hook

The Columbus-based agency, which provides tax creditx forhousing developments, mortgages and down-payment assistance to buyers, recently was awardee $104 million from the U.S. Departmeng of Housing and Urban Development and theTreasuruy Department. Of that $83 million came through stimuluds dollars funneledthrough HUD, whil the remaining $21 million came from the treasury. Kevi Clark, a credit allocation manager with the Ohio HousingFinancw Agency, said the $83 million share of funding from HUD’s Tax Credit Assistance Program will be given out as low-interest loans or grantds to developers who were awardec tax credits this year or in the past two In order for developers to clinch funding, they must already have found an investor to purchase an OHFA-issuexd tax credit at a discount, pumpinh capital into the projecg up front.
The grants or loans are intended as gap financinhg for lowerequity investments, Clark The smaller slice of OHFA funding from the Treasurt Department is part of more than $330 million the governmen t recently awarded to four states and Puertio Rico under the so-called Tax Credit Exchange program. That initiative allows OHFA to return to the government about $2.6 million of the $26 millionn in federally backed tax credits it’s planninbg to distribute this year in exchange for the $21 milliob in stimulus dollars.
The agency, Clar k said, plans to take that funding and award it as grants to affordable housing developersz who have clinched tax credits but have been unablse to secure an investor to buy the credifup front. Developers can return the tax creditsa in exchange for grants to replace that Amid a tight equity the grants open up a possibility for dozens of Ohio Clark said. “In the last two years, we’ve funded about 80 propertie swith credits, while aboug half of those have been able to find an investor to move he said.
The agency hasn’ty finalized the grant applicatiobn process for the stimulus dollars but plans to open the applicationj window innext month, Clark That information will be available on the agency’se Web site at ohiohome.org.

Suit alleges California lets insurers deny treatment for autistic kids - Sacramento Business Journal:

plesciamipukoa1855.blogspot.com
Santa Monica-based Consumer Watchdog filed the lawsuitr against the Tuesday in Los AngelesSuperior Court. It seeks to compeol the agency to require health plans to cover applied behavioralanalysis (ABA) if a member complaines the treatment was denied even thoug it is deemed medically necessary and is provided by licensedr personnel or under the supervision of licensedc personnel. Agency spokeswoman Lynne Randolpu said in a prepared statementt that the department is holdint health plans responsible for a range of health care service s for peoplewith autism. The stakese are huge.
The disputed therapy, whicnh teaches young children howto eat, play and can cost more than $1,000 a Most health plans consider it educational therapy and don’t covert it. The lawsuit alleges consumers were able to appea denial of this kind of treatmeng to an independent medical review syste m until March2009 — and many were Since then, DMHC changed its procedures to process the complaints througyh its own internal grievance system, prompting different court documents allege. This is a violationn of the California Mentalk HealthParity Act, which requires health insureres to cover all medically necessary treatments for the consumer group alleges.
“Californians, including those strickenn with autism and their parentsand caregivers, expecty regulators to enforce the law, not side with insurancer companies seeking to boost their profits by denyinfg patients the care they need,” Consumef Watchdog founder Harvey Rosenfield said in a pressz release. The issue is complicatedx because some ABA treatmentsz are considered medicallynecessary — speech, physica and occupational therapies, for example — while otherds are not.
“We have explicitl told health plans that they may not excludre any particular therapies or treatments for Autismj Spectrum Disorder that have been determiner to be health care servicesand (we) are administerinfg the consumer complaint process according to law,” Randolph said in a prepareds statement.

Phoenix-area airports offering high-end aircraft storage, office space for business jet owners - Phoenix Business Journal:

With increasing numbers of business travelers usingcorporated jets, accommodations catering to business jet setters are springing up at generalk aviation airports across the Valley. "This is somethinbg that's needed and wanted by businesses that havecorporate jets," said hangar developer Bob Reid, president of . "They're flying $20 million jets, so they'rde demanding that kind of These facilities, far surpassing those at sprawliny publicpassenger terminals, offer an ease of travel that business-clas s passengers can only dream no ticket hassles, no lines, no security no rummaging through luggage, no getting bumped by overbooking and no hurrying to meet connecting Many of these facilities will provide offices with Interner access and other amenities, allowing companies to operate a branch office where they keep their At , fixed-base operator partnet Robert Banovac said his company plan s to build and leasd 200,000 square feet of hangar space with accompanying officesa and maintenance facilities on 135 acres.
He said the facility will accommodats everythingfrom single-engine propeller aircrafty to twin-engine Gulfstream 5 jets. "We have prettt much a fresh canvaz to builda world-class facility that will rival the 'bigt kahuna' (Hangar 1 at )," said "We hope to take a dent out of some of theirr business." Lux Air purchased Sun Western Flyeres in March and will take over its aircraft maintenances operations at the Goodyear and Yuma airports, Banovac said.

Deer Valley Airport doesn't have any facilities catering to corporatre airtravel now, but the airport's master plan dedicateas 40 acres at its southeast cornere to corporate development, he "During the Super Bowl, we were very busy with corporate aircraft," Mascaro said.
