New York State Legislature Statement to the Legislature of the State of New York in Support of a Tax Program for New York City

In 1963, New York City Mayor Robert Wagner constituted the Temporary Commission on City Finances to recommend ways to end the city's annual budget crises. The commission studied the city's fiscal plight for over two years and issued two interim reports on the city's expense needs and revenue sources for the immediate and long-range future. These reports were used as the bases for Mayor John Lindsay's report to the Legislature.

In 1963, New York City Mayor Robert Wagner constituted the Temporary Commission on City Finances to recommend ways to end the city's annual budget crises. The records in this series include correspondence, state publications, research and data, reports, committee records and correspondence, policy and position statements, technical memorandums, recommendations of the Temporary Commission on City Finances, and the mayor's final statement to the legislature.

These records were deaccessioned by the New Jersey State Archives and donated to the New York state Archives.

Records were apparently collected by Dr. William Miller a member of the Advisory Group on City Taxation to the President of The New York City Council.
