The state comptroller, Long Island’s Thomas DiNapoli, said after the inauguration that Long Island and the city are inextricably linked.

“You can't really separate Long Island's economy from the city economy, you know, so there's a lot that we're really intertwined about,” he told Newsday.

What does DiNapoli think about Mamdani’s proposal to raise taxes on the rich and big corporations?

“It’s what he ran on," DiNapoli said. "Obviously that is not within one person's purview or power. So we'll see how that process plays out."
