The Assembly and the Senate. Why did we not hear anything about them until they were signed into law?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I would like to see this newspaper have a weekly column that lists the bills that are being considered in the Senate and Assembly of New York State with a brief description so that I would be aware of what our representatives in Albany are doing. If I was aware of the legislation being considered in Albany, perhaps I could write or call my representative and tell him or her what I think of the proposed legislation instead of hearing what Governor Hochul has already signed into law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">New York is supposed to have a \u201crepublican\u201d form of government, meaning the citizens are to be represented by elected officials in the Assembly and the Senate.

We should know what those bills are and what they say.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I would like to call upon this paper to publish information on the bills currently before the Senate and Assembly, so I have a chance to let my representative know what I think about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sincerely,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">William L.
