Elisha T. Barrett (September 11, 1902 – May 8, 1966) was an American politician from New York.

Life

He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Suffolk Co., 2nd D.) from 1937 to 1956, sitting in the 160th, 161st, 162nd, 163rd, 164th, 165th, 166th, 167th, 168th, 169th and 170th New York State Legislatures.

He was a member of the New York State Senate from 1957 to 1966, sitting in the 171st, 172nd, 173rd, 174th, 175th and 176th New York State Legislatures; and was Chairman of the Committee on Finance in 1963 and 1964.

His legislative work transcended his home state, being elected to two non-consecutive terms as Chairman of the Council of State Governments, first in 1953, while serving as a representative, and then in 1959, while serving in the New York State Senate. No other state legislator has served two non-consecutive terms in that position.

gollark: Some websites are bad and do this. I forgot how.

gollark: That might technically be the case, but it is not intended as one.

gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.

gollark: Technically, I own the sun and will invoice heavy users.

gollark: As far as I know, no country technically has laws specifically about cognitohazards.
