Mamdani taps de Blasio alum Steve Banks as top NYC lawyer, names health deputy, chief counsel In a statement to The News before the press conference, Mamdani said Banks and Arteaga would bring “effective, principled leadership” to his administration.

#MayorMamdani has appointed former #LegalAidSociety boss, then #NYCHRA and NYC #DSSCommissioner, #SteveBanks as the NYC #CorporationCounsel. That means, if you sue #NYCDHS, he'll be your opposing lawyer, at least on the papers.
