Corporation Counsel Muriel Goode-Trufant released a report highlighting the Law Department's work in the areas of public safety, public health and education, safeguarding the city from federal overreach and supporting economic development."
"I am proud of what the Law Department has accomplished this year to protect the interests of the city and to improve the quality of life for New Yorkers, Goode-Trufant said in a statement announcing the report. [T]he dedicated public servants of this office have helped the city confront numerous challenges across various legal areas to help make the city safer, healthier, and more prosperous for all."
