Excerpt:
Stephen Goldsmith, the city’s deputy mayor for operations, points to consecutive 35-per-cent and 50-per-cent Mainline toll hikes that have hit the company, which powers a Brooklyn industrial park and municipal wastewater plant.
“A continuation of such a trend has the clear potential to jeopardize the viability of BNYCP, which is a critical source of supply of electricity and steam to [New York] City,” Mr. Goldsmith wrote.

Excerpts:
1) From WhiteHouseForSale's "Bush's Pioneers" files comes the following on Stephen Goldsmith:
"Critics of Goldsmith's tenure as Indianapolis mayor dubbed him "ambition in a suit." This ambition was checked when Goldsmith lost his '96 gubernatorial bid. Recently Goldsmith joined the corporate law firm of Baker & Daniels, where he specializes in government affairs. Although Goldsmith's wife, Margaret, is Dan Quayle's cousin, Goldsmith backed Bush well before Quayle withered on the primary vine. In early '99, Goldsmith signed on as a top domestic policy advisor to Bush and Goldsmith and Pioneer Al Hubbard hosted an early Bush fundraiser in Indianapolis.
2) On January 30, 2001, it was announced that President George W. Bush had created the new White House office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives "to give religious groups a role in the delivery of government social services, and ordered agencies to figure out ways to work with such groups." Bush named former Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith as his advisor on faith-based issues. Bush also appointed Goldsmith to the board that controls the Corporation for National and Community Service / [www.nationalservice.org], the agency that oversees the AmeriCorps program."

Excerpt:Hands-On Job Has Deputy Mayor Taking His Lumps
By DAVID W. CHEN
Published: January 7, 2011
Yana Paskova for The New York Times
Stephen Goldsmith, a deputy mayor, is a novice New Yorker.
A reporter, incredulous, asked him, “They report to you, don’t they?”
Mr. Goldsmith described his role differently: “I’m their liaison.”
Mr. Goldsmith, 64, occupies perhaps the most hands-on job at City Hall: deputy mayor for operations, with responsibility for police, fire, sanitation and nearly a dozen other agencies that provide the services most visible to ordinary New Yorkers. But he has often seemed quite distant.
During the Christmastime blizzard, he was at his Washington town house, uninvolved in the critical conversations about whether to declare a snow emergency, and writing “Good snow work by sanitation” on Twitter the evening of Dec. 26.
On Monday, most New Yorkers will get their first look at the still obscure deputy mayor, when he is called before the City Council to explain what went wrong during the blizzard. But some current and former city officials are already suggesting that Mr. Goldsmith, who was the mayor of Indianapolis in the 1990s and until last year had never lived or worked in New York, is the wrong man for his high-pressure position. His immediate predecessor, Edward Skyler, was so maniacal about making the city work he was called “Batman” and once tackled a would-be mugger in Midtown Manhattan.

Excerpt:
........... Judgment is clouded when exhaustion sets in."
That call, though, led to Goldsmith's arrest, followed by two nights in a Washington jail, and his abrupt resignation on Aug. 4 as deputy mayor of New York.
At the time, Goldsmith said in a statement that he was returning to the private sector and that "the change will provide me, at age 64, with more flexibility for me and my family and a secure foundation for our future."
It took his friends by surprise. Now, they say they are stunned to learn the truth behind his exit. Even if there was no domestic violence, as Goldsmith and his wife maintain, his political career likely is over.
In the only statement he said he would make about this incident, Goldsmith noted that no charges were filed.
"Although Margaret under oath has affirmed the absence of violence and my actual innocence, I offered my resignation in order not to be a distraction to the mayor and his important agenda for (New York) city," he said.
The end came when his wife placed a 911 call to District of Columbia police at 9:30 p.m. July 30 from the couple's Georgetown home. She lived there most of the time while her husband maintained an apartment in New York because of his job.
The report -- which both Goldsmiths claim is not accurate -- said the two had a "verbal altercation" and that she told him, "I should have put a bullet through you years ago."
Margaret Goldsmith told The Star that was "a snide, snarky response to an old issue. I explained that to the police more than once. They knew it was not a legitimate statement or intended to be anything other than irritating."
According to the report:
Goldsmith then shoved her into the kitchen counter, and she responded: "You're not going to do this to me again. I'm calling the police."
He snatched the phone from her hands, throwing it to the ground and breaking it, then grabbed her as she screamed: "Let me go! Let me go!"
She dug her fingernails into Goldsmith's forearms to break free, then ran to another room to call police.
Police say she complained of back pain but refused treatment and implored police not to arrest the man to whom she's been married since 1988.
But in D.C., arrests in domestic violence cases have been mandatory since 1991. Twenty-two states have adopted the policy, in part to immediately separate the couple and because victims often recant out of fear.

Excerpt:
19th century
This organization evolved into the New York Stock Exchange, which opened in the 1860's to deal with large-scale stock trades3.
By 1800 295 companies had issued stock, but only 20 of them had traded it publicly. However, by 1835 120 companies existed with publicly-traded stock and the market began to grow at a quicker rate.
As far back as the 19th century, the value of antique stock and bond certificates as historical documents was already recognised.
In 1876 a collector named Haseltine began amassing nonpar confederate bonds used to finance the American Civil War, and four years later Wall Street broker Roland M. Smythe began to trade historical documents. He predicted in an interview with the New York Herald Tribune on March 24, 1929:
"People will begin buying thousands upon thousands of old stocks and bonds in the hope of an increase in value. They will not be relinquished no matter what happens."4
In 1880 Smythe formed R.M Smythe & Co, an auction house dedicated to antique stock and bond certificates (along with coins and autographs), which continued to operate until 2008 when it was bought out by Spink and Son5.
20th century
Excerpt:
Mr. Herzog's lifelong interest in financial history and memorabilia led to his acquisition of R.M. Smythe & Co., in 1967. The firm, founded in 1880, continues to research defaulted or obscure securities. Smythe also is one of the nation's leading auction firms, specializing in historic collectible stock and bond certificates and a wide range of financial antiques, coins, banknotes and other memorabilia.
