I note everything in your posts hence why I commented. You tried to slip in a personal note as fact and as usual have nothing to back it up.

"and apparently the Tea Party made little or no headway there affecting this Tax Overhaul." This phrase alludes to something not in evidence.

This alludes to an effort made by the Tea Party. Was such an effort made?

One of the meanings of the word apparent - the one that applies here - is: "readily manifest to senses or mind as real or true, and supported by credible evidence of genuine existence, but possibly distinct from or contrary to reality or truth."

In other words, we know that there is a strong Tea Party in New York, and we know that they have been known to have some success in shaping the 2009, 2010, and 2011 New York Elections and Legislation, and are active in shaping the upcoming 2012 New York Election, so it is safe to infer that their mention in the article is absent because they failed to have any influence on the legislation at all. This is especially true when you read the article again, and find that it mentions the Republicans having problems with how the legislation was forged. In New York, "Tea Party" and "Republican" can be considered - to a certain extent - the two sides of the same coin, as evidenced by the Newt Ginrich article I linked to my earlier posting.
