The City Council passed a package of bills to help New Yorkers get ahold of city data online.
One piece of legislation will require plain language dictionaries on the city’s open data portal to explain tongue-twisting terms like “carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand.”
Another bill will require that when city agencies update their own websites, they also quickly add the information to the open data portal. And the city will have to preserve more data instead of erasing it when stats change.

So what politically connected computer geek is going to get this never ending contract to "upgrade" the city computer system.
Nice to see the City Council doing someone positive for a change.
waste more $$$$ on a broken system
Where can we get access to this raw data? Is it here (?): https://nycopendata.socrata.com/
