ALBANY – All but one of 10 disciplinary charges against Long Island attorney Peter Galasso for his failure to detect his brother’s multi-million dollar looting of the Galasso firm’s escrow account have been affirmed by the Court of Appeals.
In other rulings yesterday, the court determined that exotic dancing is not a form of “dramatic or musical arts performance” that qualifies venues for a state sales and use tax exemption. And the judges declined, without explanation, to hear an appeal of a decision upholding the validity of the 2011 statute legalizing same-sex marriage.
