• Removing vague language in a resolution originally submitted by the administration to the board about the money also being used to benefit "additional beneficiaries" later, which legislators said could have sent the money to uses beyond the RiverBend site. The board required that the $485 million pot go only to the SolarCity project at RiverBend, unless a redirection of any of the funds goes back to be approved by the control board;
• Placing additional responsibility on Fort Schuyler Management Corp., the SUNY Polytechnic-created not-for-profit that oversees the SolarCity construction project, to maintain job creation estimates by SolarCity and to submit any changes to Cuomo's economic development agency;
• Having all of the project's expenditures be subject to review by Bart M. Schwartz, the Manhattan lawyer recently hired by Cuomo after the governor's office was subpoenaed by federal prosecutors. The governor's Empire State Development Corp., the funding agency of the Buffalo Billion, will be responsible to also review all specific spending at the site, and Fort Schuyler must report monthly to the economic development agencies on invoices paid, as well as estimated future payments and status updates of the project. The control board also is requiring that it be briefed monthly about finances and the project's timetable.
The additional conditions imposed on the spending come nearly four weeks after U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara hit Cuomo's office with a subpoena demanding information about the SolarCity and other Buffalo Billion projects, as well as various economic development initiatives across the state.
The $485 million will go to future spending on the SolarCity facility and equipment within the structure that will be owned by the state. A portion of the money also will go to site work at the overall RiverBend property where SolarCity is locating its factory, including money to cover part of the $50 million in higher-than-projected costs for the site.
The approval comes 10 days after the control board was scheduled to consider the $485 million plan; last week's meeting was scrubbed when legislative leaders – given the size of the Cuomo funding request and the recent developments in the Bharara investigation – insisted on more information about how the money was going to be spent.
"There's always room and a reason to have oversight," Flanagan said in an interview.
With the Buffalo Billion program run by executive branch officials, the Senate leader said "the executive should and needs to be held to a higher standard."<eot>1600 Post Oak Boulevard, Unit 1401, Houston, TX, 77056 - Photos, Videos & More!

Natural Laws state only 2% SUCCEED in any field
A 2% success rate (in any field) means 98% will fail. Napoleon Hill spoke of this fact in his public engagements after he spent 25 years' personally researching what makes people rich.
Bob Proctor agreed with me when I put it to him about Hill's findings when we sat and discussed success principles in 2012 for about five hours.
I am going to be very Direct and Blunt in this posting so please forgive me because I am bloody annoyed that so many people pay through the nose for the "getting rich bullshit" as purported by Wealth Creation Speakers. People are at a loss because it didn't work for them, or 98% of others.

On the 24th March 2018 I wrote the original story.
Today I updated it (18 Nov 2022).
Bank ATM’s have tightened the rope on withdrawal’s by 75%, banks hold 6% cash, 25% less than 2018.
You’re about to be robbed and here’s the same story with corrections using <strike through>.
The story has worsened, but there is a way out. Knowledge is the key, Crypto is a fiction-thing.
Here is the old story with obvious corrections:
"Dollars and Cents, $'c - Ones and Zeros, - 001010001100001011110000111000110... How do you feel about handing over your money and place trust in something you cannot see? Too late, you already have.
The Banking system has only 8% 6% in cash, the rest (92% 94%) of money is electronically converted into 1's & 0's. You already live in an almost cashless society.
If you and everyone else went to the bank to withdraw more than 10% of your income in cash, the economy would instantly crash and the banks would shut the doors on you to protect their shareholder’s interests.
Global Currency is not based on Gold. It is based on trust. You trust the bank will honor your paper money and even more so, you hope they will honor your plastic card that is electronically controlled. You are told "trust the bank" but if you look deeper into the banking system, you'll find banks are privately owned by shareholders who are there to make money from your money.
Your boss gives the bank your pay check. The bank charges you for holding your money. They loan your money out to others and make money from your money you paid tax already on your money before it was deposited/invested it in the bank You will pay tax again on what you earn.
Banks get rich on your money The bank will automatically investigate you if you withdraw more than $2000 $200 (NZ banks). Banks think your money is their money, and in many ways it is because you gave it to them and they stuffed it in their Treasure Chest and you only have the right to take it out as long as only a few people do so at a time and it must be a controlled activity.
This is nothing new. ATM's will only allow you to take $800 $200 out at a time and there is a daily limit of how much of your money you are allowed to have! Big Brother is watching.
Today's money is electronic. Real Cash is still in use (8% 6% of all currency), the rest is digitised. What you earn is a token, to save, buy and consume things with, but money in the bank or on your card is nothing more than a handshake and a promise and it only works if everyone complies.
Bank robberies may be decreasing and viruses and fraud are on the rise. Computer glitches or power outages make your money vanish till the power comes back on.
I once put $1500 cash into an automated bank deposit machine. One note pulled to the side on the way in and the machine stopped dead. I tried to pull it out, and the bundle very slowly got pulled in.
The machine cancelled the deposit and the on-screen display politely asked what would I like to do, as if nothing had happened. There was no record of my cash deposit.
The bank manager was called to the machine and he said he never saw me put any money in, there was no camera support, and the machine [in their bank wall] is not owned by them, so he could do nothing about it. Imagine that! Yet, if I took 10c off their counter and made a run for it, I'd be in court for theft and charged.
This is why Crypto Currency (CC) is becoming more popular and the banks, their Share Holders, and Government, don't like it. It takes control away from banks and places control in your hands and ownership.
With CC you might say you have more in your pocket. No middle man can milk your hard earned cash for their profits. The Government is (trying to) presently gaining full (maintain) control of your money, as traditional banking is soon to be a thing of the past.
(Crypto Currency) Digital currency is not very different to what you have now. Commerce will now still works on CC digital and you'll have more less control and more less privacy. CC is ‘now’ a ‘the’ new bank and currency system and the Treasure Chest is in your their hands. They You have the lock and key to control your money as you wish.
Remember: Shareholders own the Banks. Shareholders want your money so they can sell it and make more money from what you gave them in the first place. Do not fear Crypto Currency, learn about it.
Different countries have different currencies already, so CC is nothing but an improved ‘digital’ system working in your ‘their’ favor. Shareholders who own banks, want your money. They will do anything to maintain control of their income.
The time to say "stop" is here, before it's too late.
It's a no-brainer. Corporate giants control money, commerce, water and are charging you more for everything. You cannot fight the Corporate Giants because you have no money to fight with. The people must 'rebuild' the money system and Crypto Currencies precious metals are a solid option".
END
add-on opinion.
Remove as much money as you can from banks. You will not be able to pull it out in lumps of cash but you can open accounts with Silver and Gold suppliers like Regal Bullion in New Zealand (I have no affiliation with them) and purchase the precious metals via digital banking.
Hold it in your hands, don't store it there, it only has value when you have it in your personal vault. When money varies in value, silver and gold are fixed assets, always have been, always will be. Trade back to the new fiat systems when the economy has come to its senses.
