Ronald C. Tocci
Ronald C. Tocci (born April 19, 1941)[1] is a former American politician from New York.
A native and resident of New Rochelle, New York, he was a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly from 1985 to 2004, sitting in the 186th through 195th New York State Legislatures.[2]
A member of the State Assembly's Ways and Means Committee, Tocci was the proponent of reinstating the Stock Transfer Tax, a mode of taxation which was in effect from 1907 to 1981 in the state of New York, home to the nation's most important stock exchanges, and which produced over $300 million annually in revenues to the state and the city of New York.[3]
In 2002, Tocci was defeated in the Democratic primary by Noam Bramson. Tocci then ran on the Republican ticket in the general election, and defeated Bramson. However, Tocci remained a registered Democrat and sat with the Democrats during his last term.[4]
