ALBANY — A day after Mayor de Blasio said he will return campaign contributions from a developer at the center of two state-government corruption cases, another elected official said she won’t take money from limited-liability corporations.

“In absence of our state leaders taking action, I have decided to take this step for myself and forgo political contributions from LLCs,” said Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner.

The company has contributed millions through LLCs to elected officials around the state, including former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos. Both officials were convicted of federal corruption charges in the last three weeks.

Miner, who received about $115,000 from LLCs, said what she learned during the Silver and Skelos trials pushed her over the edge.

“I read about the testimony in the Silver and Skelos case, and I was disgusted,” she told The Post.

“I have seen firsthand that legal money has moved political outcomes in Albany, and my constituents are always on the losing end of that bargain.”
