Zohran Mamdani: “Tweed Courthouse is a testament to the power of city…”

“From many windows in City hall, including my office, you can see Tweed Courthouse, where so much of the vital work of the New York City public school systems and other municipal agencies is done. Today, Tweed Courthouse is a testament to the power of city government to improve New Yorkers lives. Tweed, however, is named after Boss Tweed, the Tammany hall boss who ran his political machine through a well oiled system of patronage and graft.” (00:29–00:35)
