Some files contain extensive background information (including a few published reports, copies of relevant bills, etc.) and handwritten notes or annotated typescripts. The speeches document the positions, interests, and activities of Assemblyman Hoyt. Speech topics overwhelmingly deal with child abuse and domestic violence issues. Many relate to the initiative sponsored by Assemblyman Hoyt to form a Children's Trust Fund targeting tax money for community based prevention programs. To a lesser extent, education and energy constituencies are also represented in the speeches.
