These were just a few of the causes for which our good friend. Ted Weiss. was a tireless advocate and worker. As a young refugee from the Holocaust.

His legislative record was built around his service on the Government Operations Committee. where he chaired the Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations. and everyone knows of his fairness and his willingness to include all thoughts and ideas.
