It’s taken a while to find the words - I’m still not sure I have them. Laura was an incredible colleague and example for women pursuing careers in civil service. She was patient, smart, collaborative, hardworking. Everyone who got to know her mourns this loss. She will be missed.
On behalf of a grateful city, I offer condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of former deputy mayor Laura Anglin, a true public servant who worked tirelessly on operations and helped manage challenging crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. May she rest in peace.

When I tell you we forgot it was tax day every year until day of… v happy to only be scrambling on my own taxes this year :)
I’ve covered City Hall a long time. @MikeBloomberg released his taxes. @BilldeBlasio released his taxes. Today, it doesn’t sound like @ericadamsfornyc will be doing the same
