A YOUNG lawyer, a night school law student and a veteran New York police officer who made his bones collaring mobsters are part of a small public agency with big plans of providing increased aid and comfort to the city’s historic influx of new immigrants.
Attorney Matilde L. Roman and law student Karen Fleshman, each 33, are as unbashedly idealistic as the boss-NYPD Sergeant John Sharp. Their calling comes at a time of nativist fervor that began in the past decade, and which is exacerbated by the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001. No matter-Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his budget-cutters have given their blessings to the continued cause of an obscure agency of the Department of Youth and Community Development: “Citizenship New York City.”
