Hi I believe there is an error for the 60th district assembly seat, http://legislation.nysenate.gov/api/3/members/2017/493 returns data for Inez Barron who was succeeded by her husband Charles Barron in 2015. The 2015 session also returns Inez instead of Charles.

At least a call to http://legislation.nysenate.gov/api/3/members/2017 gives 493 as the ID of the assembly member in the 60th district

Thanks!

The Charles / Inez issue is still here, and SD 57 is another - API members-session list Response says Cathy Young, but George Borrello won the special election this past November.

Assuming these are issues passed in from LBDC or "Member Services", how do we get the "bad data" message to the right place?
