Quote:Senator Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan) and Assemblymember Grace Lee (D-Manhattan) introduced legislation earlier this year to end unlimited taxpayer-funded legal fees for elected officials, specifically citing Cuomo’s slew of litigation. The bill did not make it out of committee. After Mamdani’s victory last night, Krueger told THE CITY that the primary results offered a potential new path forward for Cuomo’s victims, too.

“Among the many lessons from last night’s results is a repudiation of the idea that powerful men deserve special protection from the consequences of their actions,” Krueger said in a statement.
