ENVIRONMENTAL WATCHDOG SHINES LIGHT ON NEW YORK'S PERVERSE TAX CREDITS, 
SPRAWL SPENDING

(ALBANY, NY) - Environmental Advocates of New York released a new report 
today on three examples of state spending and tax credits gone wrong. 
Wasted Green: How Lost Revenue & State Spending Shortchange New York 
Taxpayers & the Environment shows how Brownfield Tax Credits are 
exposing New York to more than $1 billion in lost revenue; the Empire 
Zone Program, intended to stimulate economic development, is subsidizing 
one of the state's worst polluters; and the Drinking Water State 
Revolving Fund, created with the best of intentions, may be working at 
cross-purposes to efforts to fight sprawl.http://www.eany.org/
