Treyger opens 2nd office in council district
Freshman Councilman Mark Treyger has demonstrated a remarkable ability to get what he wants from the council’s leadership despite his newcomer status.
Following his election last November, Treyger and fellow freshman Carlos Menchaca called on the council to establish a committee to oversee Hurricane Sandy relief funds. In one of her first acts as council speaker, Melisa Mark-Viverito announced the formation of the new committee and tapped Treyger to be its chairman.
And now Treyger, whose council district covers three neighborhoods and a chunk of third community, has been successful in persuading the council’s leadership to let him open a second district office.
