Mayor McClellan Seeks Recovery of Legal Expenses
Friends of Mayor McClellan say he will pursue at least 100000 to cover costs of defending his mayoral title whether Hearst’s recount succeeds or not. If Hearst loses the margin, McClellan may sue Hearst and the State jointly. Lawyers expect action if Hearst prevails and Albany is billed for defense costs. McClellan reportedly uses more than his salary for legal and stenographic work. A court once suggested a bond to protect the State, but none was filed.

Charter Revision Eyes Shrinking Board of Aldermen
The Charter Revision Commission recommends reducing the Board of Aldermen from seventy three members to under thirty, shifting appropriations to the Board of Estimate. A twenty one member aldermanic body from Senate districts plus borough leadership would form a twenty seven member board. Critics allege Tammany influence and low efficiency, noting high per diem pay and poor attendance. The commission cites past failures and transfer of franchise power to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment as justification.
