About Us

FOR THE 2010-2013 LEGISLATIVE SESSION, Council Member Daniel Garodnick is the Chair of the Technology Committee.  Council Member Brewer is a member of the Committee.  The blog contains the three major hearings the Committee heard from between 2008 and 2009.  A special posting was made for the Open Data Hearing on June 26, 2010.

Since 2002, Council Member Gale A. Brewer has been leading the effort to close the “digital divide” in New York as Chair of the Technology in Government Committee. The Technology in Government Committee regularly holds hearings on important and cutting edge technology issues facing City government and New Yorkers alike. Furthermore, her interest in these important issues led her to introduce legislation to create a Committee that would hear from the average New Yorker about how technology does and could play a role in improving his/her life.
