Has anyone seen this man? Unable to get a response from our Council Member's office.
I have lived in Hell's Kitchen long enough to have interacted with Council Member's Corey Johnson and Erik Bottcher. I'd say that at least once a year I'd have cause to drop them an email about something: a blocked wheelchair ramp, my opposition to casinos in the District, etc... Their offices always responded quickly, sometimes more helpful than others, but always responded. A staff member at Corey Johnson's office once even reached out to my landlord and helped me resolve a disagreement between us and thanks to that staff member I am still in the same building, still friendly with the landlord.
But after Council Member Carl Wilson was elected I dropped his office an email about a local issue and ... crickets. I followed up by phone, was asked to leave a voicemail and then ... crickets. Is anyone having better luck? Is the office having trouble getting up and running? Is there a staff member who might be more responsive?
(The council members have been handing down this post to their staff members in a way that has always seem too clubby to me. Bottcher worked for Johnson, then ran and won. WIlson worked for Bottcher, then ran and won. I'm beginning to think our council needs more competitive races.)
