Publisher/Think Tank - Empire Center

Author(s) - Peter Murphy

Reviewer(s) - William S. Koski, Stanford Law School

Professor William S. Koski of Stanford Law School reviewed Commercial Cash: How NY Schools Can Raise Extra Money Without Raising Taxes and found that while the brief provides a solid analysis of the legal and regulatory restrictions on commercial activities in schools, it addresses only the revenue half of the equation and leaves out crucial information.
