Here is Christine Quinn’s statement on the death of congestion pricing, which says she is “disappointed that we missed an opportunity” and describes today as a “setback.”

Neither Quinn's statement nor the statement from Michael Bloomberg aide John Gallagher mention Sheldon Silver by name.

Here’s the full statement:

“I am disappointed that we missed an opportunity to make a significant
investment in our mass transportation system, an investment that would
have secured the long-term vitality of our city and improved the health
of people living in our most congested neighborhoods.

In spite of this setback, the Council remains fully committed to
environmental responsibility and to improving and expanding our mass
transit system. We must now build new coalitions around forward-looking
transportation policy that will improve public health and move people
out of their cars and into buses, trains and ferries.”
