http://on.rocne.ws/2ibjUYC
Billionaire Thomas Golisano says an interior decorator bilked him out of more than $300,000 when she over-billed him for work on his luxury yacht.Testimony got underway Monday morning in a civil suit against the decorator, Norma Goldman, and the design company she worked with, Rochester-based Vitoch Interiors.The Paychex Inc. chairman and founder says he agreed to pay Goldman an hourly rate, plus the cost of furnishings she provided. But the central dispute in the case is over the prices billed for those items and whether the decorator had agreed to provide them at wholesale cost without markup. There was never any written agreement between the parties.

http://on.rocne.ws/2yD3xOj
Billionaire businessman Tom Golisano is challenging his tax assessment again, this time at his Ontario County home on Canandaigua Lake.The Paychex founder is withholding his September school tax of $90,000, pending help from the town of South Bristol with what he says is a significant geese problem.At a news conference at the Golisano Foundation office in Perinton, Golisano talked about up to 200 geese at his property on the shoreline of the lakefront home."It's a battle that needs to be fought," Golisano said.His 2,900 square-foot home in South Bristol has 850 feet of lake frontage. Golisano has owned the property since 1999 and his annual taxes are $132,000. At its current state, Golisano said his property is unusable with the amount of waste produced by the birds. He has tried to work with the town to no avail, he said.
I just think if I'm a billionaire, some of these fights aren't worth having...
