Summary:
Hugh L. Carey served as governor of New York from 1975 to 1982. He practiced fiscal conservatism by limiting government spending,
while avidly defending social welfare programs that benefited the less fortunate. Records in this series document the governor's
response to the New York City fiscal crisis and his efforts to overhaul the state's approach to care of the developmentally
disabled. Records also document the governor's efforts in the areas of economic revitalization, environmental conservation,
education policy, and criminal justice reform.
