"Central to that vision will be the most ambitious agenda to tackle the cost-of-living crisis that this city has seen since the days of Fiorello La Guardia: an agenda that will freeze the rents for more than 2 million rent-stabilized tenants, make buses fast and free, and deliver universal child care across our city."
"La Guardia came to power in 1934 with a pledge to clean up City Hall. His tenure followed an era of Tammany Hall corruption underscored by the city's failures."
