2008 New York legislation

Get involved in the legislative process! Jennifer Lange, the Institute's Legislative Liaison, welcomes your comments. Do you have suggestions for legislation? Or would you like more information about an issue so you can make up your mind? Do you have a message you want delivered to a legislator? Perhaps you may even want to accompany Jennifer on her visits to a legislative office? She will be making appointments soon. Contact her now using the link in the right-hand sidebar. She will be glad to listen to what you have to say and take whatever action is needed to address your concerns.
