    April 9, 2014 Mr. Ben Kallos Council Member NYC Council 250 Broadway Suite 1738 New York, NY 10007 Re: In Support of Teamsters Local 553 Dear Council Member Kallos: I am writing as a constituent of yours, even though I am not yet old enough to vote. For three years, I was fortunate enough to work for former New York City Council Member Jessica Lappin, whose seat on the NYC Council you now hold. I spoke and met with her constituents everyday -- people dealing with many different problems -- who more often than not just needed help getting through City bureaucracy to solve sometimes the most simple issues. As frustrated as they may have been, they ultimately believed New York City was the best place in the world to live. So, on behalf of the constituents and my own love of the city, I spent days photographing potholes on First Avenue, registering complaints about the Marine Transfer Station or the preservation of the NYC Public Library. All issues that are at the forefront of concerns for the residents of the Upper East Side, of which I am one. I know that my small efforts made a difference in the lives of many fellow New Yorkers, and helped make the City a better place. For me and many others, New York is a magical place like no other, filled with people of all types, restaurants of every variety, shops from corner bodegas to high end boutiques, entertainment available nowhere else, and open 24 hours a day for all that want to experience it.
