STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Mayor Bill de Blasio urged the state legislature to pass a bill “immediately” that would impose harsher penalties for reckless motorists.
The call to action comes the day after NYPD Officer Anastasios Tsakos, who was killed in the line of duty by an alleged drunk driver on the Long Island Expressway in Queens last week, was laid to rest.
