Legislative Representative to Albany correspondence with Assembly Members for 1979 to 1982
Description
The accession consists of letters, memoranda, telegrams, routing slips, legislation, and other items illustrating the role of the Legislative Representative and the Office of Intergovernmental Relations as "middlemen" between the Mayor and members of the State Assembly. Much of the correspondence consists of transmittals of constituent complaints, requests and municipal employee grievances, and the City’s response. Many of the responses dealing with complaints about City services, such as pruning trees and installation of traffic lights, are form letters. The Assembly Members include not only those representing New York City but a majority (if not all) of the 150 members of the Assembly. Files for some Senators are included, apparently by mistake (those recognized have been removed). Several of the files are quite thick, particularly that of Assemblyman John Esposito of Queens, indicating an extraordinary amount of activity on behalf of his constituents, though the significance of this is not immediately clear. However, some substantive matters are also included such as suggestions of Assembly Members for changed in City services or comment of proposed legislation. Arranged alphabetically by name of Assembly Member and then chronological within folders.
