Solving neighborhood problems is an essential part of my job.
I try to keep informed by going to two meetings of every neighborhood association – one before the session in the fall and one after the session in the spring.
Today my 41st District colleagues and I invited all of the neighborhood presidents to a zoom.
If a problem can be solved only by changing the law, now’s the time.
If a state or City agency isn’t responding when contacted by the community, now’s the time.
Why now? If the agency is sponsoring a bill, it needs my support.
A positive response on a neighborhood problem helps to bring about my positive vote on a bill.
It’s also beneficial for different neighborhoods to learn that they have similar problems.
That happened on today’s call.
