Alan Hevesi, former NY state and city comptroller, dead at 83
Former New York state and city comptroller Alan Hevesi, a Queens Democrat whose decadeslong career in public office came to an abrupt halt amid scandal in 2006, died Thursday morning after a prolonged illness, according to his family.
Hevesi, 83, lived in Forest Hills and represented parts of Queens in the state Assembly from late 1971 through 1993, when he was elected city comptroller — a position that often put him at odds with then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican. In 2001, he ran for mayor, finishing fourth in a Democratic primary.
Hevesi’s family announced his death via a statement, which said he was “surrounded by his children and loved ones.” He and his late wife, Carol, had three children, including current state Assemblymember Andrew Hevesi — a Democrat who represents a version of the district his father once represented — and former state Sen. Daniel Hevesi.A funeral service is scheduled for Sunday at the Schwartz Brothers-Jeffer Memorial Chapels in Forest Hills, according to his family.
