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.{{cite web|url=http://www.alexmarshall.org/index.php?pageId=165|title=New Urbanism, Old Urbanism, and other essays|publisher=Alex Marshall|accessdate=2012-05-18}}
