So I...

have a bill that I've been pushing for for a few years to make it easier for different agencies within New York City to share data that you give to them for the purpose of signing you up for benefits.

So that if they sign you up for one benefit, you can automatically be assigned for another one.

That right now is restricted and we should change that.

Obviously, New York City invested like $100 million on building a portal.

But actually, what we need are changes on the back end of laws that make it easier to share that data.

I'll go a step forward, which was I was speaking with the tax department in New York State and advocating for, OK, free file.

It makes it easy for you.

You don't need another software.

But why can't we just do it for New Yorkers?

We have a lot of the information as the New York State Department.

And the answer I got back is that so much of the information we have is actually wrong.

they had this need to just improve the data internally first.

And I said, okay, why don't you just find companies that are wrong or build systems to help them?

And they were like, we're working on that, but give us five years.

That's where we wanna get so that we can automate it.

So maybe it does come back around to data integration and just having the data correct.

And it might not be any more that the technical aspects of how to do your taxes is the limitation, but just as the underlying data that we're feeding accurate enough for it.

I 100% agree.

And this is the hard work of governing.
