As Mayor Bill de Blasio begins the new year with hopes of better managing
the city's homeless population, keeping crime down and building more
low-income apartments, he is embarking on another ambitious task, but one
less likely to grab the public's attention: computerizing municipal records
and creating a uniform policy for maintaining them.

The administration is scanning millions of papers that are stashed in dusty
boxes in private warehouses throughout the city and in New Jersey. Many
paper records in the collection of 2.8 million boxes would then be thrown
away.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
