Could you please offer some proof of this?

Thanks in advance.

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone like this in a big barn. You do realize that all these workers are brought over on visas, and are totally *legal*...

...or are you one of those who sees some spanish-speakers working backside and just assume they are *illegals*?

Can you be more specific / list which *onerous regulations* you are talking about?



The ones, for instance, that Linda Rice is being investigated for......do you consider those too onerous?

Wow, that was a quick change of careers.

Wouldn't that be a big paycut?

I'm guessing not since he was already leaving New York. Also, he is now the agent for the rider of the best horse in training.

Not if you can’t win.

Or you’re about to be hammered for something

Watch the news......

[Secondbest]

I’m sure he ran the numbers. So I guess he figures he’s better off this way.

That’s where the regulatory burdens come in: These conversions could happen a lot faster if the city’s permitting processes weren’t a swamp. Stringer raps the Department of Buildings for its glacial pace of OKing alterations, for example.

Then there’s the gantlet of liquor-license applications. Approval time has jumped citywide “from roughly 50 to about 75 days, an increase of nearly 50%.”

Yet Stringer’s solutions are pretty anticlimactic. He suggests “tax credits for independent retailers to help lower the cost of space in retail corridors with persistently high vacancy rates.” How about looking to reduce other factors that boost rents, like the regular property-tax rate?

Stringer also wants a “multi-agency task force staffed with customer service representatives to assist new businesses by coordinating and expediting the necessary regulatory actions.” Why not call for pruning the city’s endless regulations, so entrepreneurs don’t have to jump through as many hoops in the first place?

Amen!

I put up with crazy shit from the county all the time. I’m considering a food truck, the regs have just about taken it off the table. The problem is, it would be very lucrative for me. Not sure what I’m going to do. But the regs are a bitch.

You guys realize he’s not getting younger and has health issues? I don’t care which barn it is, training isn’t exactly an easy position.

[porkchop]

He is battling MS and probably the rigors of being a trainer is starting to take its toll

Great money and way less stress in being a top tier agent.
No overhead, except gas and doughnuts, lol

Outside of Vets, agents have the best gig at the track

Out of curiosity how much do agents get paid?
